DTC Dynamic Traction

Control

The concept

The DTC system is a version of the DSC in
which forward momentum is optimized.
The system ensures maximum forward mo‐
mentum on special road conditions, e.g., unp‐
lowed snowy roads, but driving stability is lim‐
ited.
It is therefore necessary to drive with appropri‐
ate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC
under the following special circumstances:

▷

When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.

▷

When rocking the vehicle or driving off in
deep snow or on loose surfaces.

▷

When driving with snow chains.

Deactivating/activating DTC Dynamic

Traction Control

Activating the Dynamic Traction Control DTC
provides maximum traction on loose ground.
Driving stability is limited during acceleration
and when driving in bends.

Activating DTC

Press the button.
TRACTION is displayed in the instru‐

ment cluster and the indicator lamp for DSC
OFF lights up.

Deactivating DTC

Press the button again.
TRACTION and the DSC OFF indica‐

tor lamp go out.

Indicator/warning lamps

When DTC is activated, TRACTION is dis‐
played in the tachometer.

The indicator lamp lights up: DTC Dy‐
namic Traction Control is activated.

xDrive

xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your ve‐
hicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC
further optimize traction and driving dynamics.
The xDrive all-wheel-drive system variably dis‐
tributes the drive forces to the front and rear
axles as demanded by the driving situation and
road surface.

walking speed.
