DTC Dynamic Traction
Control
Concept
DTC is a version of the DSC Dynamic Stability
Control where drive power is optimized.
The system ensures maximum drive power on
unusual road conditions, for instance unplowed
snow covered roads, or loose road surfaces, but
with somewhat limited driving stability.
When DTC is activated, the vehicle has maxi‐
mum traction. Driving stability is limited during
acceleration and when driving in curves.
Drive carefully.
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 driving off from deep snow or loose
ground.
▷ When driving with snow chains.
