DSC

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

This system provides enhanced driving

stability, especially when you are just

starting off or accelerating, and provide

increased traction on curves.

In addition to optimizing road traction

and vehicle stability when the vehicle is

accelerating or starting, the system also

provides enhanced stability when cor-

nering within physically feasible limits.

The system starts up 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 pages 21 and 22.

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:

If the system has not been deactivated,

there is a system malfunction. The vehi-

cle remains operational, but without

DSC.

Please consult your authorized BMW

center for repairs.

To deactivate the system

Press the button. The indicator lamp

will come on.

The illustration depicts the arrangement

of the buttons if the vehicle is fully

equipped. This may vary, depending on

the equipment actually installed.

When the DSC is deactivated, you are

operating with conventional torque

transfer.

In exceptional instances, it is effective

to deactivate the system:

> when rocking the vehicle or starting

off in deep snow or on loose surfaces

> or when driving with snow chains.

Refer also to page 110.

To reactivate the system

Press the button again; the indicator

lamp goes out.

The laws of physics cannot be re-

pealed, even with DSC. Any con-

sequences arising from traction loss

due to excessive vehicle speed remain

the responsibility of the driver. We

therefore urge you to avoid using the

additional safety margin of the system

as an excuse for taking risks.<

For additional details concerning DSC,

please refer to the chapter "Advanced

technology" on page 161.
