MDM with DSC

Hi guys,

Today I just randomly putted M bottom while I turn DSC off( but I forgot which I did first) which I thought it shouldnt happen. From what I heard, its either MDM or DSC right? Or did I just destroying my car by using both of them?

Not sure if serious.

If you turned off traction control then by definition you can't be running MDM.

Yes. No issues there.

You can. Just hit the traction button to turn it off and then if you have your M button programmed for MDM just hit that to engage MDM.

Three total modes:
DSC ON
DSC OFF
MDM

The only way to turn MDM on is with the M Button and the M Drive configuration set to MDM.

Pressing the DSC button on the console, regardless of mode, will either turn it fully off (if on or in MDM), or back on (if off or in MDM).

Hope this helps.

M button triggers a mode to remember your settings.

MDM is a stage of traction control.
DSC off, means MDM was taken off too.
