With the ignition key in position 2, press  
the EDC button (arrow). The indicator

The laws of physics cannot be re-  
pealed, even with DSC. An appro-  
priate driving style always remains the  
responsibility of the driver. We there-  
fore urge you to avoid using the addi-  
tional safety margin of the system as an  
excuse for taking risks.<  
The Sport program should be invoked  
when you wish to have strictly perfor-  
mance-oriented tuning of the running  
gear under all operating conditions.  
To switch to automatic adaptation:  
Press the button again; the indicator  
lamp goes out.  
For additional details concerning  
ASC+T/DSC, please refer to the chap-  
ter describing "Advanced technology"  
on page 189.  
The system automatically ensures  
damping of the running gear on de-  
mand and thus increases comfort and  
driving safety.  
Automatic adaptation  
Automatic adaptation is activated after  
every engine start. It can be maintained  
throughout the entire vehicle speed  
range and for all load conditions. If op-  
erating parameters (road-surface qual-  
ity, driving conditions such as steering,  
braking, others) change, the damping  
system adapts automatically to the new  
factors in fractions of a second.
