Dynamic Traction Control DTC*
Principle
DTC is a version of DSC that has been traction-
optimised for particular operating conditions,
e.g. driving on roads where the snow has not
been cleared. The system assures maximum
traction, but with reduced dynamic stability. You
should therefore drive with caution.
In the following exceptional situations it may be
best to activate DTC for a short time:
> When driving on snowed slopes, in slush or
on uncleared snowed surfaces.
> When rocking out or driving off from deep
snow or loose surface.
> When snow chains are fitted.
Activating DTC*
Press button until the DSC OFF indicator light in
the speedometer lights up and TRACTION is dis-
played in the revolution counter.
Dynamic Stability Control DSC is deactivated,
Dynamic Traction Control DTC is activated.
As a check
Indicator light in revolution counter
flashes:
DTC is regulating the propulsive and
braking forces.
The indicator light in speedometer
comes on and TRACTION is displayed in
the revolution counter:
DTC is activated.
Deactivating DTC*
Press button again, the DSC OFF indicator light
in the speedometer and TRACTION in the revo-
lution counter go out.
