Dynamic Traction Control; (Dtc) - BMW S 1000RR Rider's Manual

If an additional leveling sensor
9
is installed, an existing sensor
is replaced, or the running gear
158
height is changed, a calibration
must be performed. The
calibration is started in the
Settings, Vehicle settings,
DDC calibration menu.
Dynamic Traction
Control (DTC)
How does Dynamic
Traction Control work?
DTC takes the angle of inclina-
tion into account, conveniently
adjusts and is suitable for improv-
z
ing the lap times on the race-
track.
Dynamic Traction Control com-
pares the wheel centrifugal veloc-
ity of the front and rear wheels.
The slip, and with it the stabil-
ity reserves at the rear wheel,
are determined from the speed
difference. The engine manage-
ment system adapts the engine
torque when the slip limit is ex-
ceeded.
DTC can only provide support
within physical limits. The phys-
ical limits depend heavily on the
road surface, road temperatures,
tire selection, and tire tempera-
ture. If unsuitable tires are used,
there is a risk of overheating on
racetracks.
WARNING
Risky riding style
Risk of accident despite DTC
The rider is always responsi-
ble for adapting his/her driving
style.
Do not reduce the system's ex-
tra safety margin with careless
riding or unnecessary risks.
Special situations
As lean angles increase, accel-
eration potential is also progres-
sively restricted by the laws of
physics. This can result in re-
duced acceleration when coming
out of very tight curves.
To detect spinning or slipping
away of the rear wheel, the DTC
compares the speeds of the front
and rear wheel and takes the an-
gle of inclination and other fac-
tors into account.
If the values for the angle of incli-
nation are detected to be implau-
sible for a long period, a substi-
tute value is used for the angle of
inclination/the DTC is turned off.
In these cases, a DTC error is
displayed. A self-diagnosis rou-
tine must be completed before
the error will be displayed.
Under the following unusual
riding conditions, the
