Dynamic Stability Control DSC

DSC prevents the drive wheels from spinning when the vehicle accelerates and drives off.

DSC also detects unstable driving states such as oversteer or understeer. DSC helps to keep the vehicle on a safe course within the limits of physics by reducing the engine power and by applying brake interventions on individual wheels.

NOTE: The driving style always remains the responsibility of the driver. Even DSC is not able to change the laws of physics.

The numerous individual functions that make up DSC are listed in the following table.
