Dynamic Traction Con‐

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 sand, on snowy inclines, in
slush, or on unplowed, snow-covered road
surfaces
▷ When rocking a vehicle free or starting off
in deep snow, sand, or on loose ground
▷ When driving with snow chains.
Activating DTC
Press the button; the DSC OFF indicator
lamp lights up in the speedometer and
TRACTION appears in the tachometer.
Dynamic Stability Control DSC is deactivated,
Dynamic Traction Control DTC is activated.
Deactivating DTC
Press the button again; the DSC OFF indicator
lamp in the speedometer and TRACTION in the
tachometer go out.
