DTC Dynamic Traction
Control
Concept
xDrive
DTC is a version of the DSC Dynamic Stability
Control where forward momentum is opti‐
mized.
xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your ve‐
hicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC
Dynamic Stability Control further optimizes
traction and driving dynamics. The xDrive all-
wheel-drive system variably distributes the
drive forces to the front and rear axles as de‐
manded by the driving situation and road sur‐
face.
The system ensures maximum headway on
special road conditions or loose road surfaces,
for instance unplowed snowy roads, 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
under the following special circumstances:
