Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)
The DTC function can be activated by means of the DSC button. The active DTC function increases the ASC slip thresholds for improving propulsion up to a speed of 70 km/h. Basically the permissible slip is doubled but there is a program map in the background. This function offers advantages when driving on poor roads and thick fresh snow.
Driving is not safety- but rather traction-orientated. With increasing transversal dynamics, measured by the yaw-rate sensor, the slip thresholds are reduced back to the normal mode for stability reasons.
When the DTC traction mode is activated, the letters DTC are displayed in the cluster.
