Dynamic Traction Control DTC

The concept
DTC is a type of DSC that is propulsion optimized
for special road conditions such as uncleared
snowy roads. The system ensures maximum
propulsion though with restricted driving
stability. You therefore need to drive with
suitable caution.
In the following exceptional situations, it can be
useful to briefly activate DTC:
> When driving on snow-covered inclines, in
slush, or on uncleared snowy roads.
>
When rocking the vehicle free, driving out of
deep snow or on loose surfaces.
>
When driving with snow chains.
