Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

Dynamic stability control gest automatically activated when you start your vehicle. This driving mode essentially acts as a safety net for your BMW. DSC is a setting that has the ability to keep your BMW in line with the laws of physics. It’s controlled, keep the car on the intended path kind of setting which is what you want the majority of the time. The DSC system will use the brakes, individually, if needed, to keep a wheel from slipping if power is overcoming the grip.

Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)

Sometimes, when driving in the snow and up a hill, you will need a little or a lot of wheel spin to help you. This is where DTC, or Dynamic Traction Control, can be your best friend. BMW describes DTC as a sub-function of DSC which allows more wheel spin. One punch on the console of the DTC button and now some wheel slip is possible.

Automatic Stability Control (ASC)

Automatic Stability Control works on the driven wheels only and uses the brakes primarily. Newer versions of the ASC system can decrease the power to the driven wheels. The system allows the vehicle to crawl out of certain situations with minimal traction.
