Automatic Stability Control plus
Traction (ASC+T)/Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC)
*
This system helps provide additional
dynamic stability, particularly when
accelerating and cornering.
The DSC enhances the benefits of the
ASC+T. In addition to optimizing vehi-
cle stability and traction during acceler-
ation or when starting from a standstill,
a further benefit is realized in cornering.
This, of course, is true only within
physically feasible limits.
The system activates automatically
each time you start the engine.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after you switch on the ignition.
Refer to page 24 .
Indicator lamp flashes:
The system is actively regulating drive
torque in response to monitored vehicle
operating conditions.
If the indicator lamp fails to go out after
the engine is started, or comes on dur-
ing the course of normal vehicle opera-
tion:
There is a system fault or the system
has been switched off. The vehicle re-
mains operational, but without ASC+T/
DSC.
For repairs, please consult your BMW
center.
To deactivate the system
Press the switch (arrow) – the indicator
lamp comes on and stays on.
Depending on equipment options, the
button is marked with ASC or DSC.
The illustration depicts the button
for the Z3 roadster. Depending on
the vehicle model, the arrangement and
appearance of the button may vary.
Please refer to the specific switch sym-
bols for selecting the desired function.
