In 2001, BMW introduced the all-new redesigned Mini Cooper. Model types for the Mini include the hardtop, convertible, Clubman, Countryman and John Cooper Works. The Dynamic Stability Control system aids the driver when navigating through slippery road conditions. DSC works by manipulating the braking system and throttling engine power when the on-board computer detects wheel slippage. Turning off the DSC may prove necessary after installing snow chains, or getting the vehicle unstuck from mud, as well as snow.
