ASC+T/DSC

Automatic Stability Control plus

Traction (ASC+T)/Dynamic

Stability Control (DSC)

These systems help provide additional

dynamic stability, particularly when ac-

celerating and cornering.

The DSC system enhances the benefits

of the ASC+T. In addition to optimizing

vehicle stability and traction when ac-

celerating or starting from a standstill,

another benefit is realized in cornering

stability. Of course, this is subject to the

limits imposed by the laws of physics.

The system starts up automatically

each time you start the engine.

Indicator lamp

The indicator light in the instru-

ment cluster goes out shortly af-

ter you switch on the ignition.

Refer to page 21.

Indicator lamp flashes:

The system is active and governs drive

force and braking force.

If the indicator lamp fails to go out after

the engine is started, or comes on

during normal driving and stays on:

There is a system malfunction or the

system was deactivated with the but-

ton. You can continue to drive the vehi-

cle normally, but without DSC.

Consult your BMW center to have the

system repaired.

To deactivate the system

Press the button (arrow); the indicator

lamp comes on and stays on.

Depending on equipment options, the

button is marked with ASC or DSC.

With deactivated ASC+T/DSC you are

driving with conventional, unregulated

torque transfer.

In the following exceptional circum-

stances, it may be effective to deacti-

vate the DSC for a short period:

> When rocking the vehicle or starting

off in deep snow or on loose surfaces

> When driving with snow chains.
