DSC Dynamic Stability Control xDrive
Switching off DSC
Press the button; the indicator lamp
comes on and stays on.
Stabilizing interventions of the chassis
control system DSC are no longer avail-
able. However, the braking interven-
tions that simulate the function of the
differential lock continue to be active.
In the following exceptional circum-
stances, it may be effective to switch
off the DSC for a short period:
> When rocking the vehicle and starting
off in deep snow or on loose road
surfaces
> On sandy road surfaces
> On poor surfaces with deep ruts
530de372
> If the wheels churn on muddy sur-
faces
> When driving with snow chains.
As a result of the braking interven-
tions, the brakes may be sub-
jected to additional loads when the sys-
tem is switched off. In order to limit the
brake temperature, brief automatic
masking of the brake activation is pos-
sible.
To maintain vehicle stability, always
drive with the system switched on when
possible.<
Switching DSC on
Press the DSC button again; the indica-
tor lamp goes out. DSC is now acti-
vated.

xDrive is the 4-wheel drive system of
your X5. The combined effects of xDrive
and DSC further optimize the traction
and dynamic driving characteristics.
The 4-wheel drive system xDrive vari-
ably distributes the drive torque to the
front and rear axle depending on the
driving situation and prevailing road
conditions.
