The center console operating facility is connected electrically to the Integrated Chassis Management. The ICM control unit forwards the signals of the DTC button on the FlexRay to the DSC.

NOTE: Different number of plug connections!

The center console operating facility starting with F20 has only 1 plug connection to the Integrated Chassis Management (ICM). Observe the wiring diagrams in the diagnosis!

NOTE: Driver experience switch depends on options fitted!

If a driver experience switch is installed, the labelling then changes {COMFORT} to {ECO PRO}. The function {ECO PRO} is described with the ICM.

Depending on the DSC mode, the indicator light in the instrument panel is switched on. The indicator light shows a skidding vehicle with the labelling "OFF" or only a skidding vehicle.

If SPORT+ is selected via the drive dynamic control switch, the system automatically switches to DTC operating condition.
