Autel MaxiDAS DS708 is a powerful scan tool that is able to customize many special settings. Following displays an example of activating BMW 7 series E65 Dynamic Drive/Active Roll Stabilization with DS708 automotive diagnostic scan tool.

What is Dynamic Drive?

Active Roll Stabilization (ARS) is an "active" suspension control system design to reduce body roll in cornering, resulting in improved handling. Dynamic Drive uses active stabilizers on the front and rear axles to counteract the vehicle's tendency to roll in a corner. Working together with acceleration and position sensors, a management system and other components, such as a compensation tank for sound control, the system ensures supreme agility at all speeds, balanced reactions to load changes and remarkably precise steering.
