Driving stability control systems

Antilock Brake System ABS

ABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak‐
ing.
The vehicle remains steerable even during full
brake applications, thus increasing active
safety.
ABS is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.

CBC Cornering Brake Control

When braking during curves or when braking
during a lane change, driving stability and steer‐
ing response are improved further.

Electronic brake-force

distribution

The system controls the brake pressure in the
rear wheels to ensure stable braking behavior.

Brake assistant

When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system
automatically produces the maximum braking
force boost. It thus helps to achieve the shortest
possible braking distance during full braking.
This system utilizes all of the benefits provided
by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the full braking.

Dynamic Stability Control

DSC

The concept

DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels
when driving away and accelerating.

DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle condi‐
tions, such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Subject
to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the vehicle
on a steady course by reducing engine speed
and by applying brakes to the individual wheels.

Adjust your driving style to the situation
An appropriate driving style is always the

responsibility of the driver.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even
with DSC.
Do not reduce the additional safety margin with
a risky driving style, as otherwise there is a risk
of an accident.◀

Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF

When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is re‐
duced during acceleration and when driving in
bends.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.

Deactivating DSC

Press and hold the button, but not longer than
approx. 10 seconds, until the indicator lamp for
DSC lights up in the instrument cluster and DSC
OFF is displayed. DTC Dynamic Traction Con‐
trol and DSC are deactivated together.

A message appears on the Control Display.
Please note any supplementary information that
appears there.
