played in the instrument cluster.

DTC Dynamic Traction

Control

The concept

The DTC system is a version of the DSC in which
forward momentum is optimized.
The system ensures maximum forward momen‐
tum on special road conditions, e.g., unplowed
snowy roads, but driving stability is limited.
It is therefore necessary to drive with appropri‐
ate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC un‐
der the following special circumstances:

When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.

When rocking the vehicle or driving off in
deep snow or on loose surfaces.

When driving with snow chains.

Deactivating/activating DTC Dynamic

Traction Control

Activating the Dynamic Traction Control DTC
provides maximum traction on loose ground.
Driving stability is limited during acceleration
and when driving in bends.

Activating DTC

Press the button.
TRACTION is displayed in the instru‐

ment cluster and the indicator lamp for DSC
OFF lights up.

Deactivating DTC

Press the button again.
TRACTION and the DSC OFF indicator

lamp go out.

Dynamic Damping Control

The concept

This system reduces undesirable vehicle mo‐
tion when using a dynamic driving style or trav‐
eling on uneven road surfaces.
The system enhances driving dynamics and
comfort as required for the road surface and
driving style.

Programs

The system offers two different programs.
The programs can be selected via Dynamic Driv‐
ing Control, refer to page

.

SPORT

Consistently sporty control of the shock absorb‐
ers for greater driving agility.

SPORT+

Consistently sporty control of the shock absorb‐
ers for greater driving agility when driving with
limited driving stabilization.

COMFORT

Balanced control of the vehicle.

Variable sport steering

The variable sport steering increases the steer‐
ing angle of the front wheels at large steering
wheel angles, e.g., in tight curves or when park‐
ing. Steering becomes more direct.
It also varies the force required to turn the
wheels in accordance with the vehicle speed.
