Switch the DSC off/activate the
ADB
Press the DSC switch (arrow) – the indi-
cator lamp comes on and remains on.
DSC has been switched off; ADB is in
ready mode.
In the following exceptional circum-
stances, it may be effective to activate
the ADB for a short period:
> When rocking the vehicle or starting
off in deep snow or on loose surfaces
> When driving on snow-covered
grades, in deep snow, or on a snow-
covered surface that has been
packed down from being driven on
> When driving with snow chains.
Switch the DSC and ADB off
Hold the DSC switch down for at least
3 seconds. The indicator lamp and the
red warning lamp for the brake
hydraulic system remain on.
In this case, no interventions to
increase stability and traction for
engine and brakes are carried out.
To maintain vehicle stability, drive
with the DSC activated whenever
possible.<
Switch the DSC and ADB back on
Press the button again; the indicator
lamp or the indicator lamps will go out.
The laws of physics cannot be
repealed, even with DSC. It will
always be the driver's responsibility to
drive in a manner that matches road
conditions. We therefore urge you to
avoid using the additional safety margin
of the system as an excuse for taking
risks.
The DSC is deactivated and will not
carry out any stabilizing intervention
when the ADB is in ready mode.
Do not make any modifications to the
DSC system. Allow only authorized
technicians to perform service proce-
dures on the DSC.<
You will find additional details
concerning DSC in the chapter
"Advanced technology" on page 167.
