DSC Dynamic Stability
Control
Principle
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) helps to
keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing
drive power and by brake intervention on individ‐
ual wheels.
General information
DSC detects the following unstable driving con‐
ditions, for instance:
▷ Skidding, which can lead to oversteering.
▷ Loss of adhesion of the front wheels, which
can lead to understeering.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sys‐
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where appropri‐
ate.

Warning
When driving with a roof load, for instance with
roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle's cen‐
ter of gravity is higher, which increases the risk
of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situa‐
tions. There may be a risk of accident or risk of
damage to property. Driving with roof load only
with activated Dynamic Stability Control.
