XDS is an electronic differential lock, and lets you grip the road when cornering fast. It improves responses to ensure an even safer drive. In moments of fast cornering XDS lightly brakes the inside wheel to prevent wheel spinning. The result is better traction and a reduction of any tendency to under steer. This tweak will vary the aggressiveness of XDS.

Register a new battery yourself with OBDeleven's manual coding / adaptation. This is the free method (works on the PRO plan, no Credits needed) unlike the paid 'Battery Registration' One-Click App. It tells the car's energy-management system a new battery is fitted so charging and Start/Stop behave correctly.

Before you start, read the battery's top label and note: capacity in Ah, the 3-letter manufacturer code, and the serial number.

Newer cars (UDS / CAN-bus):

Select Gateway (19)

Adaptation

Battery adaptation

Enter battery capacity (Ah), manufacturer code, serial number, and battery technology (Standard / EFB / AGM). If the serial is unknown, just change the last digit.

In the Value field enter: 3-digit capacity + space + 3-letter manufacturer code + space + 10-digit serial number

If the battery TYPE changed (e.g. Standard to AGM), also open Battery Regulation > Long Coding, set the correct type, then confirm.

Tip: do this with ignition ON / engine OFF. If you don't know the manufacturer code, enter UNK. Run a quick fault scan afterwards to clear any transient codes.
