Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Integration in dynamic handling control
A new feature of the DSC modes on the F01/F02 is that they are integrated in the dynamic handling control function. Dynamic handling control is activated by means of the handling setting switch and the DTC button.
Dynamic handling control enables the driver to choose one of six possible vehicle handing modes. The dynamic handling controller then controls all drivetrain and dynamic handling systems simultaneously and in co-ordination with one another. The result is totally harmonious handling in all modes.
The vehicle handling modes are called:
- Comfort
- Normal
- Sport
- Sport+
- Traction
- DSC off
When the vehicle is first started, the dynamic handling controller is always in "Normal" mode.
The table below shows what mode the Dynamic Stability Control is in for each of the vehicle handling modes.
The other dynamic handling systems and drivetrain control systems are switched in and out as appropriate to the vehicle handling mode selected.
