namic Stability Control (DSC), further optimizes
traction and driving dynamics.
General information
xDrive variably distributes the driving power to
the front and rear axles as demanded by the driv‐
ing situation and road condition.
The Driving Dynamics Control is used to change
the all-wheel distribution from traction oriented
to sport oriented.
With the xOffroad package, the all-wheel-drive
system is additionally adjusted for the respective
xOffroad driving mode.
Because of the needs-based use of the all-
wheel-drive system, Efficient4x4 yields a reduc‐
tion in consumption.

Some of the information can also be displayed in
the Head-up Display.
M sport differential
The active M differential provides for continu‐
ously variable locking of the rear axle differential
depending on the driving situation. This prevents
spinning of a single rear wheel and thereby pro‐
vides optimal traction in any driving situation.
The driver is responsible adapting his or her driv‐
ing style to the situation.
Automatic Differential
Brake
Principle
Automatic Differential Brake controls the driving
power by automatic brake intervention on indi‐
vidual wheels.
General information
The function works in the same way as a differ‐
ential lock and improves traction on a loose sur‐
face, for example. The system detects when a
wheel begins to spin and automatically brakes
this wheel.
The driving force is diverted to the wheel with
better traction.
As a result, the drive torque is transferred more
efficiently to the wheels during accelerations.
