Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes model-specific equipment, systems and functions that are available now and will be available in the future, even if they are not available in the owned vehicle.
Additional information:
Vehicle equipment
Antilock Braking System
Principle
The Antilock Braking System prevents the locking of the wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steerability even during emergency braking, which increases the active driving safety.
The Antilock Braking System is ready after each time drive readiness is turned on.
Brake assistant
The brake assistant applies maximum brak-ing assistance when the brake is depressed quickly. It reduces the braking distance to a minimum during emergency braking. The ad-vantages of the Antilock Braking System are thereby utilized.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal for the duration of emergency braking.
Adaptive brake assistant
In combination with Cruise Control with Dis-tance Control, this system ensures that the brakes respond even more rapidly with brake actuation in critical situations.
Drive-off assistant
Principle
The drive-off assistant supports driving off on uphill grades.
Driving off
- Hold the vehicle in place with the foot brake.
- Release the foot brake and drive off without delay.
After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is held in place for approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle loading, the vehicle may roll back slightly.
Dynamic Stability Control
Principle
Dynamic Stability Control helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing drive power and by brake interventions on individual wheels.
General information
The system detects the following unstable driving conditions, for instance:
- Skidding, which can lead to oversteering.
- Loss of adhesion of the front wheels, which can lead to understeering.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene where appropriate.
Warning
When driving with a roof load, for instance with a roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle’s center of gravity is higher, which increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situations. There may be a risk of accident or risk of damage to property. Drive with roof load only with activated Dynamic Stability Control.
Overview
Button in the vehicle
DSC OFF
Activating/deactivating Dynamic Stability Control
General information
When Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated, driving stability is reduced while accelerating and when cornering.
To support driving stability, reactivate Dynamic Stability Control as soon as possible.
Activating/deactivating the system
- Press the button to open the selec-tion.
- “DSC OFF”
DSC OFF is displayed on the instrument cluster and the Dynamic Stability Control indicator light illuminates. - Press the button again to reactivate Dynamic Stability Control.
DSC OFF is no longer displayed on the in-strument cluster and the Dynamic Stability Control indicator light goes out.
Display
In the instrument cluster
DSC OFF: Displayed on the instrument cluster when Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated.
Indicator/warning lights
Indicator light illuminates: Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated.
Indicator light pulsates: Dynamic Sta-bility Control controls the drive and brake forces. The vehicle is stabilized.
Reduce speed and modify your driving style to the driving circumstances.Indicator light is illuminated: Dynamic Stability Control has malfunctioned or is initializing. No driving stabilization.
Have the system immediately checked by an authorized service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Automatic program change
Dynamic Stability Control can be activated automatically by Front Collision Mitigation de-pending on the situation.

Dynamic Traction Control
Principle
The Dynamic Traction Control is a variant of the Dynamic Stability Control where the drive power is optimized.
The system ensures maximum drive power on unusual road conditions, for instance unp-lowed snow covered roads or loose road surfa-ces, but with somewhat limited driving stability.
General information
- When the Dynamic Traction Control is acti-vated, there is maximum traction. Driving sta-bility is limited during acceleration and when cornering.
A brief activation of the Dynamic Traction Con-trol may be useful in the following situations:▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared, snow-covered roads. - When driving off from deep snow or loose ground.
- When driving with tire chains.
Overview
Button in the vehicle
- DSC OFF
Activating/deactivating the Dynamic Traction Control
- Press the button to open the selec-tion.
- “Traction”
TRACTION is displayed on the instrument cluster and the Dynamic Stability Control indicator light illuminates. - 3. Press the button again to reactivate Dynamic Stability Control.
TRACTION is no longer displayed on the instrument cluster and the Dynamic Stabil-ity Control indicator light goes out.
Display
In the instrument cluster
TRACTION: Displayed on the instrument clus-ter when Dynamic Traction Control is enabled.
Indicator/warning lights
The indicator light illuminates: the Dy-namic Traction Control is activated.
Automatic program change
In certain situations, Dynamic Stability Control is activated automatically:
- Active Cruise Control with Distance Control is activated.
- In case of a brake intervention by Front Collision Mitigation.
- If the suspension control system fails.
- The vehicle has a flat tire.
xDrive
Principle
xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of the vehicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and other suspension control systems, such as Dynamic Stability Control, further optimizes traction and driving dynamics.
General information
xDrive variably distributes the drive forces to the front and rear axles as required by the driving situation and road conditions.
Because of the needs-based use of the all-wheel-drive system, Efficient4x4 yields a reduction in consumption.
M sport differential
The active M differential provides for continuously variable locking of the rear axle differential depending on the driving situation. This prevents spinning of a single rear wheel and thereby provides optimal traction in any driving situation.
The driver is responsible adapting his or her driving style to the situation.
Variable sport steering
The variable sport steering facilitates direct and agile handling with little steering effort. The variable sports steering works independently of the current speed, varying the steering ratio in line with the steering angle.
FAQ
Its primary role is to detect and reduce loss of traction, enhancing vehicle stability especially during adverse driving conditions.
DTC allows more wheel spin than DSC, providing more dynamic driving but with reduced stability interventions.
Yes, drivers typically have the option to deactivate it, but it’s advised to use this feature judiciously, keeping safety in mind.
By modulating engine power and applying brake force to specific wheels, it ensures optimum grip and stability.
Yes, the Hill Start Assistant prevents the vehicle from rolling back when starting on an incline.
Typically, a light flashes on the dashboard when the system is actively making corrections.
CBC ensures balanced braking when cornering, preventing over or understeering.
While the system is largely maintenance-free, it’s essential to ensure brakes, sensors, and tires are in good condition for optimum performance.
ABS prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, and its data is used by the stability control system to ensure vehicle stability.
Yes, Performance Control can distribute power variably between the rear wheels for improved agility and cornering.
While it aids in maintaining stability, drivers should always adjust their speed based on road conditions.
EDLC improves traction by applying brakes to the spinning wheel, thereby redirecting power to the wheel with grip.
It detects emergency braking scenarios and maximizes brake pressure to reduce stopping distances.
While the default settings are optimized for general conditions, some BMW models allow for adjustments via driving mode selections.
Some advanced stability systems can detect and compensate for strong crosswinds, but it’s crucial to check the specific features of the 2023 BMW 2 Series Coupe.
