Thorough familiarity with your vehicle will provide you with enhanced control and security when you drive it. [. . . ] This is why you should not use the additional safety margin the system provides as an excuse to take risks. < Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 156 - © 09/01 BMW AG Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)* ­ BMW 325i The concept The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) maintains vehicle stability, even in critical driving situations. The system optimizes vehicle stability during acceleration and when starting from a full stop, as well as optimizing traction. In addition, it recognizes unstable vehicle conditions, such as under- or oversteering, and, as far as is possible within the laws of physics, helps keeping the vehicle on a steady course by reducing engine speed and brake applications to the individual wheels. DSC incorporates the functionality of the Automatic Differential Brake (ADB) and the Cornering Brake Control (CBC). 73n Indicator lamp Overview The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster will go out shortly after the ignition has been switched on, refer to pages 18, 19. The indicator lamp flashes: DSC controls the drive and braking forces. The indicator lamp stays lit: DSC has been switched off via the button; ADB is operational. The indicator lamp and the brake warning lamps remain on continuously: The DSC, ADB and DBC have been switched off via the button or are defective. To switch DSC off/activate ADB Press the DSC button briefly; the indicator lamp comes on and stays on. In the following rare situations, it may be effective to activate the ADB for a brief period: > When rocking the vehicle or starting off in deep snow or on loose surfaces > When driving on snow-covered grades, in deep snow, or on a snowcovered surface that has been packed down from being driven on > When driving with snow chains. Traction is increased by deactivating the control systems that enhance traction under normal conditions. The vehicle will remain completely ADB (Automatic Differential Brake) operational, however, without DSC.

It will always be the driver's responsibility to drive in a manner that matches road conditions. This is why you should not use the additional safety margin the system provides as an excuse to take risks. When ADB is in its standby mode, DSC is deactivated; DSC does not intervene to enhance vehicle stability under these conditions. Allow only authorized technicians to perform service procedures on the DSC. < Switch the DSC and ADB off Hold the DSC button down for at least 3 seconds. The indicator and the yellow brake warning lamps will remain on continuously. The systems for enhancing stability and traction are deactivated, and there is no active braking intervention or torque control. To maintain vehicle stability, always drive with the DSC switched on whenever possible. < Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) DBC is an integral component of the DSC system.
