All xDrive transfer cases use Shell Gear oil part number 83 22 0 306 816.
There is no scheduled service for the transfer case oil. Oil Monitoring is performed by
the VTG control module to determine when a service (change) is due. The VTG calculates
transfer case and clutch wear based on the amount of slip, engagement pressure
(torque), speed and mileage.
This calculation accounts for:
• normal “dry” road driving (Integrator 1)
• “adverse” road driving (Integrator 2)
• “other” road extreme driving (Integrator 3)
Depending on individual vehicle use - driving styles and driving conditions, the transfer
case oil service interval will vary.
When a service is due, this will be indicated by a Fault Code and additional details
are available using ISTA.
Service functions provide directions on changing the transfer
case oil and updating the VTG control module with the necessary reset and adaption
procedure. This is extremely important for CBS.

Another example is when the front axle is on a high traction surface and the rear axle
is on ice. In this case, virtually 100% of the available driving torque is transmitted to
the front axle. Based on available traction, virtually no driving torque can be supported
by the rear axle . Obviously, when more driving torque is transmitted to the front axle,
driving torque on the rear axle is proportionally reduced due to lack of traction.

Dynamic Stability Control
DSC8+ offers several new features from April 2005 production vehicles.
They are:
• ASC-X / ADB-X
• Hill descent control HDC
• Dry braking
• Brake standby
• Automatic soft stop
• Fading assistance
• Drive-off assistant
• Trailer stabilization control
Automatic Soft Stop
Due to the transition from sliding friction to static friction on the brake disc, a stopping
jolt occurs when braking to a standstill where the occupants perceive an increased
feeling of deceleration.
When braking lightly (< 25 bar) at constant pressure to bring the vehicle to a halt, the soft
stop function automatically reduces the braking pressure at the rear axle just before the
vehicle comes to a stop. This consequently reduces the positive acceleration peak
perceived by the occupants by approx. 50% while extending the action time.
The speed and standstill status are recognized by way of the wheel speed sensors.

The water spray produced in wet conditions coats the brake discs with a water film,
causing delayed response of the brakes. In connection with previous systems it was
therefore recommended to operate the brakes from time to time.
The dry braking function is dependent on the position of the wiper switch and therefore
on the signal of the rain/lights sensor. The brake discs are kept dry by lightly applying
the brake pads cyclically as required, this achieving improved braking response in wet
conditions.
While doing so, the pressure in the brake system is increased by approx. 1 bar and the
brake pads are applied for approx. 1.5 seconds.
Dry braking takes place under following conditions:
• Driving speed > 70 km/h
• Continuous wipe operation in stage 1 or 2
The repeat interval depends on the wiper stage:
• Continuous wipe stage 1 - 200 s
• Continuous wipe stage 2 - 120 s
• Generally 90 s as from 09/2005
This applies only when the driver himself does not apply the brake during this time.
The driver notices no deceleration or noise.

A ce propos, j'avoue que je ne sais pas ce qu'ils entendent par CBS ?Service functions provide directions on changing the transfer
case oil and updating the VTG control module with the necessary reset and adaption
procedure. This is extremely important for CBS.
