Deactivate DSTC with snowchains??
Hmmm, I don't know if anyone has faced that problem before, but should i deactivate DSTC when driving with snowchains? Manual says deactivate ESP with snowchains, but i think that on an S60 (05 model) you can't fully deactivate the whole DSTC system, and ESP will always be on. Any ideas? And why DSTC effects - in a wrong way - driving with snowchains?

But doesn't the DSTC work and on the rear wheels? And how deactivating such an important electronig assistant helps you driving better with snowchains? I can't understand how these two things are conflicting each other... Friends of mine with different cars drive with snowchains and the DSTC on and their car manual says nothing about it.

I know it's a frontwd. I couldn't understand how the snowchains in front affects the rear wheels. Thank's for the tip.
At final, i didn't need any snowchains at all. DSTC managed just fine during a snow-weekend-drive. There was only a bit of a loud noise while trying to start over an icy terrain, but i think that this is normal. Althought, while testing the behaviour of the car on ice, i accelerated more than normal for an icy road, the car started slidding to the right with no control at all. That is what i can't understand. The DSTC stands for Dynamic Stability and Traction Control. I didn't see any stability at all. Any ideas? Thanks a lot again..!
