Technology for driving comfort and safety64Antilock Brake System ABSABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak-ing. Safe steering response is maintained even during full braking. Active safety is thus increased.Braking safely, refer to page 93.Among others, ABS includes the following func-tions:>Cornering Brake Control CBC>Electronic brake-force distribution EBV>Brake AssistCornering Brake Control CBCDriving stability and steering characteristics are further enhanced while braking in turns or dur-ing a lane change.Electronic brake-force distribution EBVThe system controls the brake pressure in the rear wheels to ensure stable braking behavior.Brake AssistRapidly depressing the brake causes this system to automatically develop maximum braking force. Thus, the system helps keep braking dis-tance to a minimum. At the same time, all the benefits provided by ABS are exploited.Do not reduce the pressure on the brake for the duration of the full braking application.Dynamic Stability Control DSCDSC prevents the driving wheels from losing traction when you pull away from rest or accel-erate. The system also recognizes unstable driv-ing conditions, for example if the rear of the car is about to swerve or if momentum is acting at an angle past the front wheels. In these cases, DSC helps the vehicle maintain a safe course within physical limits by reducing engine output and through braking actions at the individual wheels.DSC also encompasses the following functions:>Antilock Brake System ABS>Electronic brake-force distribution EBV>Brake Assist>Cornering Brake Control CBC>Hill AssistDeactivating DSCPress the button repeatedly until the DSC indica-tor lamps come on. DSC is deactivated. Stabiliz-ing and propulsion promoting actions are no longer executed.When driving with snow chains or to 'rock free' in snow, it can be helpful to switch off DSC for a brief period.To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again as soon as possible.Activating DSCPress the button again: the DSC indicator lamps go out.For better controlIf the indicator lamp flashes: The DSC controls the driving and break-ing forces.If the indicator lamps are on: DSC is deactivated.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:
