I push the Traction button, which turns down the electronic nannies and does appear to let the car handle with a little more enthusiasm. But after a while, it automatically turns itself off. Does anyone know of making it stay selected until I manually turn it off?

That sounds odd. I select Dynamic Traction almost every time I start the car by pressing and releasing the DSC button. But it stays on until I shut it off or turn the car off. I've got a 2022 with I Drive 7 and I see "Traction" in yellow on the right side of the instrument cluster.

The manual does state that the DSC will re-activate if you're using "Active Cruise Control" or if there is an automatic brake intervention.

Do any of those apply?

It goes back to enable when you turn on ACC

The DTC will also come back on if you get a collision warning...from following an appropriate German vehicle distance from the car in front

Thanks everyone. Active Cruise Control would be the cause. I use it a lot as a licence saver - my state is notoriously strict with speed limits. Even on a fun, twisty road, I'll often use it on the longer straights - so now I know to avoid it!
