M Traction Control
Concept
M Traction Control permits the gradual adjust‐
ment of the wheel-slip behavior of the rear
wheels during acceleration by regulating the driv‐
ing power accordingly.
General information
If DSC is deactivated after the idle state, the M
Traction Control level OFF/Level 0 is set.
Safety information
Warning
The deactivation of the Dynamic Stability Con‐
trol DSC limits the driving stability. Depending
on the selected setting of the M Traction Con‐
trol, the minor or major wheelspin is possible,
which limits the tracking, e.g., while accelerat‐
ing. There may be a risk of accident or risk of
damage to property. Adjust driving style to traf‐
fic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively
intervene where appropriate.
Functional requirement
The DSC Dynamic Stability Control is deacti‐
vated.
