This system circuit diagram shows the operator control and display elements
for the driving dynamics control
function. For clarity of overview, the drive and dynamic driving systems upon
which the driving dynamics
control acts have been omitted. These are described in the Functions section
instead.

Overview
With the E71, the notion of a higher-level driving dynamics control system
was implemented for the first time
in a standard model. This central function is also

Centralized Dynamic Handling Control
The interventions by the dynamic handling control systems are performed with
the aim of improving agility and
traction. Quite obviously, they also re-stabilize the vehicle when required. On
previous vehicles the various
functions were performed by a number of d
