DTC Dynamic Traction


Control


The concept

The DTC system is a version of the DSC in which
forward momentum is optimized.


The system ensures maximum forward momen‐
tum on special road conditions, e.g., unplowed
snowy roads, but driving stability is limited.


It is therefore necessary to drive with appropri‐
ate caution.


You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC un‐
der the following special circumstances:


▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
▷ When rocking the vehicle or driving off in
deep snow or on loose surfaces.
▷ When driving with snow chains.
