to swerve or if momentum is acting at an angle
past the front wheels. In these cases, DSC helps
the vehicle maintain a safe course within physi-
cal limits by reducing engine output and
through braking actions at the individual
wheels.
DSC also encompasses the following functions:
> ASC All-Season Traction Control
>
ABS Antilock Brake System
> Brake Assist
> Hill Start Assist
Deactivating ASC or DSC
Press the button repeatedly until the indicator
lamp for the ASC or DSC comes on. ASC or DSC
are deactivated. Stabilizing and drive-output
promoting actions are no longer executed.
When driving with snow chains or to 'rock free'
in snow, it can be helpful to switch off ASC/DSC
for a brief period.
To increase vehicle stability, activate ASC/DSC
again as soon as possible.
Activating ASC or DSC
Press the button again. The indicator lamps go
out.
For better control
If the indicator lamp flashes:
ASC or DSC controls the driving and
braking forces.
If the indicator lamps are on:
ASC or DSC is fully deactivated.
Malfunction in the driving stability
control systems
The warning lamps come on. ASC or DSC
is malfunctioning.
The vehicle remains operational. Have
the system checked as soon as possible.
Drive cautiously and think well ahead,
otherwise unstable driving conditions
could result. <
Hill Start Assist*
Hill Start Assist is a component of DSC and assists
you in comfortably driving off on inclines. It is
not necessary to use the parking brake for this.
1. Hold the MINI with the brake.
2. Release the brake and immediately drive
off.
Hill Start Assist holds the car in place for approx.
2 seconds after the brake is released.
Depending on vehicle load and road incli-
nation, the car may roll backwards a little
during this time span. Drive off immediately
after releasing the brake. Otherwise, Hill Start
Assist will no longer hold the car in place after
approx. 2 seconds and the car will start to roll
backwards.
<
Sport button*
Pressing the button causes your MINI to respond
even more sportily.
>
Engine responds more spontaneously to
movements of the accelerator.
> Steering response is more direct.
With automatic transmission:
> More rapid gear shifting in Sport program.
