Dynamic Traction Control
Principle
Dynamic Traction Control is a drive-optimised
variant of Dynamic Stability Control.
In special road conditions, for example on un-
cleared, snow-covered roads or on loose sur-
faces, the system ensures maximum drive, but
with restricted driving stability.
General
Maximum traction is provided when when Dy-
namic Traction Control is activated. Driving
stability is restricted when accelerating and
cornering.
Activating Dynamic Traction Control briefly
may be useful in the following situations:
▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
▷ When driving off in deep snow or on a loose
surface.
▷ When driving with snow chains.
