Deactivating DSC and DTC
Press and hold down the DSC button
for at least 3 seconds; the telltale light
and the yellow brake warning light
remain permanently on.
Under these circumstances no stability-
or traction-improving manipulation of
engine or brakes takes place.
In order to maintain maximum
driving stability, you should drive
with the DSC system activated when-
ever possible.
<
Reactivating DSC
Briefly press the button a second time;
the telltale light or lights go out.
Not even DSC can overcome the
laws of physics. The driver is
always responsible for matching his or
her style of driving to the prevailing
conditions. The extra safety potential
offered by this system must never be
understood as an invitation to take
additional risks.
When DTC is in ready mode DSC is
deactivated and DTC contributes to a
limited extent to stabilising the car.
Make no modifications to the DSC sys-
tem. All work on the DSC should be
entrusted only to skilled, authorised
personnel.
