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. Do not make any modifications to the DSC system. 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. The system responds to sudden, highintensity applications of force to the brake pedal by automatically braking the vehicle with maximum boost to achieve the shortest-possible braking distances during "panic stops". This system exploits all the benefits of ABS. Do not reduce the pressure exerted against the brake pedal until the braking maneuver has been completed. DBC is deactivated when you release the brake pedal.

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 the engine speed and brake applications to the individual wheels. DSC is operational every time you start the engine. DSC includes the functions of ADB-X and CBC.
