Dynamic Traction Control
DTC
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 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*.
