Principle
The M Drift Analyzer detects and evaluates
when the vehicle is moved in the drift.
General information
For safety reasons, the use of the M Drift Ana-
lyzer is only permitted outside of public road
traffic and under suitable ambient conditions.
Higher mechanical and thermal loads while
drifting lead to increased wear. This wear is
not covered by the warranty. Check the tire
condition and the tire tread depth before driv-
ing off.
The data can be recorded as individual drifts or
as total distance in a drift session.
M Traction Control assists the driver depend-
ing on the setting.

Safety information
Warning
The deactivation of the Dynamic Stability
Control limits the driving stability. Depending
on the selected setting of M Traction Control,
minor or major wheelspin is possible, which
limits, e.g., lane guidance while accelerating.
There may be a risk of accidents or risk of
damage to property. Adjust driving style to
traffic conditions. Watch surrounding traffic
closely and actively intervene where appro-
priate.
