BMW 5 Series: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Alongside the Vertical Dynamics Platform (VDP) control unit, the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC)
represents the core element of the driving dynamics control systems used to
increase active safety. It
optimizes driving stability in all driving conditions and also traction when
driving off and accelerating.
Furthermore, it identifies unstable driving conditions such as under or
oversteering and helps maintain
the stability of the vehicle.
