Deactivating DTC Press the button again; the DTC indicator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out. Dynamic Drive* The concept Dynamic Drive minimizes body roll and optimizes vehicle stability during cornering and evasive maneuvers. Dynamic Drive is based on active stabilizers on the front and rear axles. Suspension compliance adapts to suit driving conditions, varying from performance-oriented during cornering to smooth and comfort-oriented when the vehicle is proceeding in a straight line. During vehicle operation, the system continuously runs through closed-loop control cycles lasting only fractions of a second. The system assumes operational status each time you start the engine. Display of the previously described malfunction on Canadian models. FTM Flat Tire Monitor* The concept The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the inflation pressures in the tires as you drive. The system provides an alert whenever the inflation pressure drops significantly in relation to the pressure in another tire. In the event of a pressure loss, the rolling radius and therefore the rotation speed of the wheels change. This change is detected and signaled as a flat tire. 89 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 013 312 - © 02/07 BMW AG Reference The DSC indicator lamp lights up.
