Dynamic Traction Control DTC*
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 stabil-
ity. 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

forces.
