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.
DSC: Dynamic Stability Control
The current driving condition of the vehicle is detected by the dynamic stability control (DSC) by evaluation of the sensor signal. This driving condition is compared with the setpoint values determined using a calculation model. In this way, the system recognizes unstable driving conditions. In the case of deviations that are above a control threshold stored in the DSC control unit, the vehicle is stabilized. The stabilization (within physical boundaries) is achieved by reducing the engine performance and individual braking of wheels. DSC intervention override the functions ABS and ASC. The DSC function can be deactivated using a button.
