Well yet another bug ?
Was driving slowly yesterday night around 30 miles/h and suddenly, the icon problem pops il: DBC failure, please drive slowly. Plus hill assistance is aso down.....
The brakes were suddenly very hard. Finally came to my holiday rental, car couldn't move. This morning, no more message.
Car is at the dealer. Got a laguna Renault as substitute.....
I know you cannot do a lot , but its the sixth bug in 20000 miles and three years of use. Just wanted to share.

Sorry to hear. What is DBC though? I haven't heard of that one before i don't think. Although, i have a funny feeling that when someone points out what it is, i'll feel stupid for asking this!!

DBC apparently is linked to abs braking system. Its responsible for the extra strentgh put on the brakes when you brake very hard. More than this i cannot tell.
