Driving stability control systems -> Setting for increased driving dynamics for your BMW i5 2023-2025

Driving stability control systems  
CONTROLS  
take over steering and braking at any time,  
and actively intervene where appropriate.  
5. "Driving dynamics"  
6. "DSC OFF"  
Dynamic Stability Control is automatically acti-  
vated when changing to another drive mode.  
Warning  
"SPORT": when you switch to this drive mode,  
the last setting is automatically reactivated.  
When driving with a roof load, e.g., roof bars,  
the vehicle's center of gravity is higher. This  
increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in crit-  
ical driving situations. There is a risk of acci-  
dent, injury, or property damage. Drive with  
roof load only with activated Dynamic Stabil-  
ity Control.

View when Dynamic Stability  
Control is deactivated.  
Overview  
Indicator light illuminates: Dynamic  
Stability Control is deactivated.  
Button in the vehicle  
Warning light flashes: Dynamic Stabil-  
ity Control is regulating the driving and  
brake power. The vehicle is stabilized.  
Reduce speed and modify your driving style to  
the driving circumstances.  
Warning light illuminates: Dynamic Sta-  
bility Control has failed or is initializing.  
Driving stabilization is restricted or has  
failed.  
My Modes  
If the warning light illuminates continuously,  
have the vehicle checked immediately by an  
authorized service center or another qualified  
service center or repair shop.  
Activating/deactivating Dynamic  
Stability Control  
If Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated, driv-  
ing stability is restricted when accelerating and  
cornering.  
Setting for increased driving  
dynamics  
To support driving stability, reactivate Dynamic  
Stability Control as soon as possible.  
Principle  
For a more dynamic driving experience, you  
can configure the vehicle for increased driving  
dynamics via My Modes.  
1.  
Press the button.

Driving stability control systems  
CONTROLS  
General information  
The Dynamic Stability Control and thereby the  
driving stability are limited during acceleration  
and when cornering.  
Automatic program change  
The increased driving dynamics will be deacti-  
vated automatically, for instance in the follow-  
ing situations:  
When the Distance Control is activated.  
Overview  
In case of a brake intervention by For-  
ward Collision Mitigation. Deactivate For-  
ward Collision Mitigation as necessary.  
Button in the vehicle  
If the suspension control system fails.  
The vehicle has a flat tire.  
Additional information:  
Forward Collision Mitigation with brake inter-  
vention, refer to page 181.  
Drive-off support  
My Modes  
Principle  
The moving-off support offers the best possi-  
ble traction when moving off in certain situa-  
tions on difficult ground such as on snow or  
sand.  
Activating/deactivating increased  
driving dynamics  
General information  
The function provides maximum drive power  
with adapted driving stability in the low speed  
range.
