DSC* – BMW 316i, 318i, 320i, 323i, 330i, 318d, 320d, 330d
The principle
Dynamic Stability Control DSC is
designed to maintain driving stability in
critical situations.
The DSC system is in operation when-
ever the engine has been started.
DSC incorporates the functions of
Dynamic Traction Control DTC and
Cornering Brake Control CBC.
You will find further details on DSC in
the "Technical items of interest" bro-
chure.
Telltale light
The telltale light in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after the ignition is switched on,
see page 19.
If the telltale light flashes:
DSC is controlling drive and braking
forces.
If the telltale light remains permanently
on:
DSC has been switched off at the but-
ton; DTC and DBC are ready.
There is no indicator to show when DTC
is in action.
The telltale light and the brake
warning light remain perma-
nently yellow:
DSC, DTC and DBC have been
switched off at the button, or are
defective.
Note, however, that the vehicle remains
operational without DSC. If a fault
develops you should consult BMW
Service as soon as possible.
Deactivating DSC/activating DTC
Briefly press the DSC button: the tell-
tale light remains permanently on.
DSC is deactivated; DTC is ready.
In the following exceptional situations it
may be best to activate DTC for a short
time:
>
If the car has to be rocked out of a
hollow or a soft surface, or started in
deep snow or on a loose surface
>
If you are driving on snow-covered
gradients, in deep snow, or on hard-
packed snow
>
If snow chains are fitted.
Traction is boosted by reducing the sta-
bilising influences.
