The￿activation￿of￿an￿M￿configuration￿is￿displayed￿by￿a￿M1￿or￿M2￿symbol￿in￿the￿instrument￿cluster.￿The
corresponding￿symbol￿flashes￿if,￿for￿example,￿ABS,￿M￿DSC￿or￿M￿xDrive￿intervene￿upon￿activation￿of
the￿request￿or￿if￿a￿malfunction￿exists￿in￿the￿system.￿A￿renewed￿activation￿is￿only￿possible￿after￿the
intervention￿is￿completed￿or￿the￿malfunction￿has￿been￿eliminated.
During￿a￿journey,￿the￿retrieved￿configuration￿can￿be￿changed￿at￿any￿time.￿The￿corresponding￿M￿driving
dynamics￿control￿switch￿must￿be￿operated￿for￿this￿purpose.￿The￿M1￿or￿M2￿symbol￿in￿the￿instrument
cluster￿goes￿out.
An￿efficient/comfortable￿configuration￿is￿set￿by￿default￿in￿the￿factory￿for￿the￿M1￿button￿and￿a￿sporty
configuration￿for￿the￿M2￿button.￿This￿setting￿can￿be￿adapted￿in￿the￿M￿configuration￿menu￿to￿the
customer's￿needs￿and￿also￿reset￿again￿to￿the￿factory￿setting.￿Each￿M￿button￿is￿individually￿configurable
and￿the￿overall￿configuration￿is￿also￿assigned￿to￿the￿vehicle￿remote￿control￿being￿used.
The￿following￿functions￿and￿configurations￿can￿be￿selected￿and￿set:
