DSC Dynamic Stability Control
Switching DSC off
Press the button; the indicator lamp
comes on and stays on.
Stabilizing interventions of the chassis
control system DSC are no longer avail-
able. However, the braking interven-
tions that simulate the function of the
differential lock continue to be active.
In the following exceptional circum-
stances, it may be effective to switch off
the DSC for a short period:
> When rocking a stuck vehicle free
and when starting off in deep snow or
on loose road surfaces
> On sandy road surfaces
> On poor surfaces with deep ruts

> If the wheels churn on muddy sur-
faces
> When driving with snow chains.
When the DSC system is switched
off, braking maneuvers may sub-
ject the brakes to additional loads.
Automatic limitation of braking action
may briefly occur in order to limit brake
temperatures.
To maintain vehicle stability, always
drive with the system switched on when
possible.
