Driving stability control systems

Vehicle equipment

All standard, country-specific and optional

equipment that is offered in the model series is

described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐

ment is also described that is not available in a

vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional

equipment or country variant. This also applies

for safety-related functions and systems.

Antilock Brake System ABS

ABS prevents locking of the wheels during

braking.

The vehicle remains steerable even during full

brake applications, thus increasing active

safety.

ABS is operational every time you start the en‐

gine.

Brake assistant

When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system

automatically produces the maximum braking

force boost. This then reduces braking dis‐

tance to a minimum during full braking. This

system utilizes all of the benefits provided by

ABS.

Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal

for the duration of the full braking.

DSC Dynamic Stability

Control

The concept

DSC prevents traction loss in the driving

wheels when driving away and accelerating.

DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle condi‐

tions, such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Sub‐

ject to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the

vehicle on a steady course by reducing engine

speed and by applying brakes to the individual

wheels.

Adjust your driving style to the situation

An appropriate driving style is always the

responsibility of the driver.

The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even

with DSC.

Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety

margin by driving in a risky manner.◀

Indicator/warning lamps

The indicator lamp flashes: DSC con‐

trols the drive forces and brake forces.

The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has

failed.

Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF

When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is

reduced during acceleration and when driving

in bends.

To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC

again as soon as possible.

Deactivating DSC

Press and hold the button, but not lon‐

ger than approx. 10 seconds, until the

indicator lamp for DSC OFF lights up in the in‐

strument cluster and DSC OFF is displayed.

The DSC system is switched off.

Steering and, depending on the equipment,

the chassis are adjusted for sporty driving.

Activating DSC

Press the button.
