I drive a 2006 bmw 330i msport and my car got stuck in my driveway because of the snow. After struggling to move it for a few minutes, I suddenly remember the DTC button which I had never used before today. It worked like magic when I turned it off.

Thank you for the tutorial....I never knew about the 5 second push to disable totally. Very helpful.

[Nexus.Achiles]

Thanks for the explanation. Did I get this right?

1. DTC ON DSC ON : can't spin wheels, can't lose control of car
2. DTC OFF DSC ON: can spin wheels, can't lose control of car
3. DTC OFF DSC OFF: can spin wheels, can lose control of car

So the real play mode is #3 everything off, I guess ?

EDIT: point #2

What I've noticed to my car is, on DSC mode the stability control acts on the brakes to reduce wheel spin and to set the car on a desired track and also acts on the engine throttle inputs to reduce wheel spin as well.
DTC seems to do the same thing except it doesn't limit the engine power so it can brake the wheel that looses traction or stabilize if needed. But not sure here, it may depend on the model. For my x1, on snow you still cant push the rpm higher than 2500rpm when the wheels spin freely. So it allows a bit more power to the wheels.

The third mode, comes when long pressing the dtc and deactivates the stability control completely. So if one wheel spins freely the car won't take any action.
During the winter through deep snow I 've got significantly better results driving with the dsc off. At low speed it is also very easy to control the car.

Thanks I didn’t know about the third option by holding it, I usually use the dtc for when it rains heavily on the freeway and you do notice a difference and it helps a lot

[vikky]

my car skid in ma last week worcestor storm..i got strange noise while braking..in 7in snow/ice..great video..will turn DTC ON

[geoffnepo]

By default dtc is off and dsc is on, press the button once dtc turns on dsc turns off, so it’s reversed, press and hold button both functions are turned off - as I understand it

[BurtonSmith]
