Hi everyone, i have now startedon the road to gettin my new mini cooper but am bafflled by the amount of options i have available to me.

One of the options i am particularly baffled by is the ASC+T & the DSC, how important are either of these, sort of a pros and cons answer would be nice

Thankyou for any replies in advance

If you've not read the FAQ already, this should help:

What do ABS, ASC, CBC, DSC and EBD mean?

Thanks Paul, just read the FAQ great help.

Just wondering aswel can you switch the ASC+T & the DSC off?

Thanks

Yes, unlike some systems if you have DSC (which includes traction control) you cannot switch off JUST the extra functions this offers, it's all off, or all on. The same for ASC+T, all on or all off. It's on by default and you have to switch it off each journey you decide you don't want it, but you can switch it on and off as you go (there's a toggle switch).

Hope that makes sense.
