BMW Automobiles, along with all other modern BMWs, are equipped with Dynamic Stability Control or “DSC” to ensure safety on all road surfaces, including ice and snow. The DSC button is typically located near the shifter for an automatic transmission car. If you drive a manual transmission car, the DSC button is located on the center console near the handbrake lever.

Silky Terrier Dog Breed Playing AroundWhat are the functions of DSC button on a BMW?
The DSC button on a BMW has three functions
1. “DSC On” or “MDM Mode” – This mode is the most aggressive of the three and should only be used when you know what you are doing. It allows for more wheel slip and creates more drag, making it harder to steer and brake.
2. “DSC Off” or “STD Mode” – This mode is the least aggressive and should be used when driving on a normal road surface. It allows for more wheel slip and creates less drag, making it easier to steer and brake.
3. “TCS On” or “ASR Mode” – This mode is the middle ground of the three and should be used when driving on a road with some curves or when the surface is slippery. It allows for less wheel slip than STD Mode, but more than MDM Mode.
What happens when you press the DSC button?
The DSC light on your dash illuminates when you activate the system. The car’s engine is cut off from providing power to the wheels, which causes it to lose momentum and reduces your speed. If the car is skidding, the system will help to correct it.
How can I turn the DSC system back on?
To re-engage the DSC system, press and hold the button again until it lights up. If you want to leave the DSC off permanently, speak with a BMW dealership about coding. You can reprogram the car’s computer so that it doesn’t activate the DSC system when you start your car.
