6.2. Dynamic Stability Control

Dynamic Stability Control is standard in all BMW vehicles.

The DSC prevents spinning of the drive wheels when starting up and when accelerating.

The DSC also identifies unstable driving conditions, such as oversteer or understeer. The DSC helps to keep the vehicle on a safe course by applying brake interventions on the individual wheels (within the physical limits) and by reducing the engine output in order to control wheel spin and maintain traction.

NOTE: It always remains the responsibility of the driver to adapt his or her driving style.
Even with the DSC, the laws of physics still apply.
Always Drive Safely!

The DSC system control unit is attached to a hydraulic valve block and it includes many individual functions that are listed in the following table.
