Switch DSC off/activate ADB
Press the DSC button briefly; the indi-
cator lamp comes on and stays on.
DSC has been switched; ADB is opera-
tional.
In the following exceptional circum-
stances, it may be effective to deacti-
vate the ADB for a short 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 snow-
covered surface that has been
packed down from being driven on
> When driving with snow chains.
Refer also to page 128.
The gain in traction is achieved by a
reduction in stabilizing intervention.

Switch DSC and ADB off
> Hold the DSC switch down for at
least 3 seconds. The indicator lamp
and the yellow brake warning lamps
will remain on continuously.
In this case, no interventions to
increase stability and traction for engine
and brakes are carried out.
To maintain vehicle stability,
always drive with DSC switched
on as often as possible.<
Switch DSC and ADB on again
Press the button again; the indicator
lamp or the indicator lamps will go out.
The laws of physics cannot be
repealed, even with DSC. It will
always be the driver's responsibility to
drive in a manner that matches road
conditions. We therefore urge you to
avoid using the additional safety margin
of the system as an excuse for taking
risks.
The DSC will not carry out any stabi-
lizing intervention when the ADB is in
ready mode.
Do not make any modifications to the
DSC system. Allow only authorized
technicians to perform service proce-
dures on the DSC.<
For additional details concerning DSC,
please refer to the chapter "Advanced
technology" on page 189.
