Driving on icy roads can be challenging and dangerous, especially in areas like Montgomery that don't typically see a lot of winter weather. Fortunately, BMW offers several advanced safety features that can help you maintain control of your vehicle even in slippery conditions. Here are the top three BMW safety features to look for if you frequently drive on ice in Montgomery:
Dynamic Stability Control
Dynamic Stability Control, or DSC, is a standard feature on most BMW models. This system constantly monitors your vehicle's stability and traction. When it detects wheelslip or loss of control, such as when driving on ice, DSC automatically adjusts engine power and applies brakes to individual wheels as needed to help you maintain control. Whether you're driving a BMW sedan or SUV, DSC provides an extra layer of safety and peace of mind in slippery conditions.
BMW xDrive All-Wheel Drive
For enhanced traction and stability on icy roads, consider a BMW equipped with xDrive all-wheel drive. Available on many BMW SUVs as well as select BMW sedans, xDrive continuously redistributes power between the front and rear axles depending on driving conditions. If one or more wheels start to slip on ice, xDrive will transfer power to the wheels with the most traction to help you maintain control. With xDrive, you'll enjoy more confident winter driving in Montgomery.
Dynamic Brake Control
Braking on ice requires a careful balance - you need firm, threshold braking without locking the wheels. BMW's Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) system optimizes your vehicle's braking performance to suit the current conditions. On ice and snow, DBC automatically compensates for reduced traction by rapidly building up brake pressure. This allows for stronger, more responsive braking performance with less risk of skidding or sliding. You'll appreciate the extra stopping power DBC provides when navigating icy streets in Montgomery.
