DTC Dynamic Traction Control

DTC is a version of DSC in which the drive out-
put is optimized for particular road conditions,
e.g. unplowed snow-covered roads. The sys-
tem assures the maximal drive output, but with
reduced driving stability. It is therefore neces-
sary to drive with appropriate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC
under the following special circumstances:

>

When driving uphill on snow-covered roads,
in slush or on unplowed, snow-covered
roads

>

When rocking a stuck vehicle free or start-
ing off in deep snow or on loose ground

>

When driving with snow chains

Activating DTC

Briefly press the button; the DTC indicator
lamps in the instrument cluster come on.

Deactivating DTC again

Press the button again; the DTC indicator
lamps in the instrument cluster go out.

Deactivating DTC and DSC together

Press the button and hold it down for at least
3 seconds; the DSC indicator lamps in the

instrument cluster light up. Stabilizing and
drive-output promoting actions are no longer
executed.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.

Reactivating DSC

Briefly press the button; the indicator lamps in
the instrument cluster go out.

To control

If the indicator lamp flashes:
DSC or DTC controls the drive forces
and brake forces.

Both DTC and DSC have been deac-
tivated with the DTC button.

If the indicator lamps are on:
DTC has been activated with the DTC
button.

The driving stability control systems
and the Flat Tire Monitor have failed.

sively, avoiding full brake applica-
tions. Have the system checked as

soon as possible.
