Going to Dyno tomorrow! Questions

Hey Guys. I'm scheduled to dyno my Mercedes CLS55 tomorrow and decided to take my wife's 2011 Clubman S also. My CLS needs to be put in a special "dyno mode". Does the Clubman need to be put in a special setting also to disable traction control etc? If so, how... Thanks..

This is out of the owners manual:

Dynamic Stability Control DSC

DSC prevents the driving wheels from losing
traction when you pull away from rest or accelerate.

Deactivating DSC

Press the button repeatedly until the DSC indicator
lamps come on. DSC is deactivated. Stabilizing
and propulsion promoting actions are no
longer executed.
When driving with snow chains or to 'rock free'
in snow, it can be helpful to switch off DSC for a
brief period.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.

I hope this was of some assistance.

Please let us know what numbers your wife's car got.
Thanks!

Dont you have to just hold the button until the warning lamp comes on to turn it off?

yes.

make sure you strap down the car in the front and the back, you will need 2 tow hooks. Your car only comes with 1.

My comment was directed towards this. I might have been a bit sarcastic, pressing the button repeatedly would turn it on then off then on etc.
