The laws of physics cannot be repealed,
even with DSC. An appropriate driving

style always remains the responsibility of the
driver. Do not reduce the additional safety mar-
gin of the system by taking risks.

DSC indicator lamp

The indicator lamp goes out shortly
after the engine is started.
The indicator lamp flashes: DSC is con-

trolling the drive forces and brake forces.
The indicator lamp stays lit: DSC is deactivated.

M Dynamic Mode MDM

The M Dynamic Mode is a mode of the DSC
Dynamic Stability Control. It enables driving
with greater longitudinal and lateral accelera-
tion on dry road surfaces, however with limited
vehicle stability. The system does not provide
stabilizing intervention by reducing the engine
output and braking at the wheels until the abso-
lute driving limit is reached. Steering correc-
tions by the driver may also be required in this
driving state.
The M Dynamic Mode is deactivated each time
the engine is started.

With the M Dynamic Mode activated, sta-
bilizing interventions are only carried out

to a reduced degree.

To maintain vehicle stability, drive with
DSC activated and the M Dynamic Mode

deactivated whenever possible.

MDM indicator lamp

The indicator lamp goes out shortly
after the engine is started. The indica-
tor lamp stays lit: M Dynamic Mode is

activated.
The indicator lamp lights up continuously and
the DSC indicator lamp flashes: the M Dynamic
Mode is active and controls the drive and brak-
ing forces.
