Electronic transmission control
module

If the indicator lamp comes on,
there is a malfunction in the
transmission system.

Bring the vehicle to a stop, select trans-
mission position "P", engage the
parking brake and switch the engine off
(ignition key to position 0).

Wait a few seconds, then start the
engine.
If the indicator lamp goes out after a
few seconds, normal transmission
performance has been restored. Drive
off normally.

If the indicator lamp does not go out, all
selector lever positions can still be
selected; however in the forward posi-
tions the vehicle has limited perfor-
mance as it drives only in 3

and 4

gear.

If this happens, avoid extreme engine
loads and consult the nearest BMW
center.

Never work in the engine
compartment when a drive gear

(forward or reverse) is engaged. If you
do this, the vehicle could move.

For towing or jump-starting, refer to the
information beginning on page

1 High beams (blue indicator lamp)

2 Headlamp flasher (blue indicator

lamp)

3 Turn signal indicator (green indicator

lamps accompanied by a periodic
clicking sound from the relay).

To signal briefly

Press the lever up to but not beyond
the detent. It then returns to the center
position when released.

If the flashing of the turn signal
indicators and the clicking from

the relay are both faster than normal,
one of the turn signal indicators has
failed.
