Dynamic Stability Control

The new MINI Countryman is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) as standard equipment. The R60 is the first MINI model series to be offered with four-wheel drive. The functionality of this optional equipment is implemented in the DSC control unit. DSC controls the all-wheel drive clutch in the rear final-drive unit. Four-wheel drive in the MINI is identified with ALL4.

Depending upon driving conditions, four-wheel drive can transmit drive torque to the rear wheels as well as to the front. There is no invariable ratio governing the distribution of drive torque; instead, it is constantly varied by the intelligent closed-loop control system.

Of course, control of the four-wheel drive system is coordinated with the DSC Dynamic Stability Control. In this process driving safety and stability assume top priority.
