Dynamic Traction Control
Principle
The Dynamic Traction Control is a variant of
the Dynamic Stability Control where the drive
power is optimized.
The system ensures maximum drive power
on unusual road conditions, for instance unp-
lowed snow covered roads or loose road surfa-
ces, but with somewhat limited driving stability.
General information
When the Dynamic Traction Control is acti-
vated, there is maximum traction. Driving sta-
bility is limited during acceleration and when
cornering.
A brief activation of the Dynamic Traction Con-
trol may be useful in the following situations:
▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
▷ When driving off from deep snow or loose
ground.
▷ When driving with snow chains.
