I have read the manual and done some searching, but I am confused with the various settings on my 09 535i x-drive. What exactly is the difference between the default traction control setting, the DTC setting when I push the button on the dash, and the DSC setting when you hold in the button on the dash for a couple of seconds? when should I use each setting. The manual gives us pages on how to use the seatbelt, but only a couple of cryptic sentences on these traction modes. thanks for any input
