Switching off PSM

Press the PSM OFF logo of the rocker switch. The PSM switches off after a short delay.

When the PSM is off, the PSM OFF warning light in the instrument panel and the indicator light in the rocker switch are lit.

• When braking, the vehicle is also stabilized when the PSM is switched off!
• One-sided wheel spin is also prevented when the PSM is switched off!
• On Tiptronic vehicles, the function slip upshift is switched off when PSM is switched off! However, this is only as of model year 2002 (2 range). ==> Characteristic features of Tiptronic vehicles (slip upshift) CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF TIPTRONIC VEHICLES (SLIP UPSHIFT) 

  The PSM should always be switched on for normal driving.

  In exceptional cases, it can be advantageous to switch off the PSM temporarily:

• on a loose surface and in deep snow
• when rocking the vehicle free
• when using snow chains.
