Dynamic Stability Control DSC – 325xi, 330xi, 330xd
The principle
DSC assists driving stability in critical
situations.
The DSC system is in operation when-
ever the engine has been started.
DSC incorporates the functions of
Automatic Differential Brake ADB-X and
Cornering Brake Control CBC.
Telltale and warning lights
The telltale light in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after the ignition is switched on,
see page 19.
>If the telltale light flashes: DSC is
controlling drive and braking forces
>If the telltale light remains perma-
nently on: the button has been
pressed to deactivate DSC; ADB-X is
ready. There is no indicator to show
when ADB-X is in action.
If the telltale light does not go out
the next time you press the DSC
button, DSC and ADB-X are defective
and the stabilising functions are no
longer at your disposal.<
Note, however, that the car remains
operational without DSC. In the event of
a malfunction, consult BMW Service or
a workshop employing trained person-
nel and working to the specifications
issued by BMW.
Switching off DSC
Press the DSC button: the telltale light
remains permanently on.
DSC is deactivated, ADB-X is parame-
terised for maximum forward momen-
tum.
In the following exceptional situations it
may be best to deactivate DSC for a
short time:
>If the car has to be rocked out of a
hollow or a soft surface, or started in
deep snow or on a loose surface
>If snow chains are fitted.
In order to maintain maximum
driving stability, you should drive
with the DSC system activated when-
ever possible.<
