consequences of brake applications 
with inadequate clearances for safety 
between vehicles, when exceeding the 
speed limit, or the risks involved when 
aquaplaning occurs. Responsibility for 
these types of situations remains in the 
hands (and at the feet) of the driver. You 
should never allow the added safety of 
ABS to mislead you into taking 
increased risks.

Do not make any modifications to 
the ABS system. Service proce-

dures on ABS are to be performed by 
authorized technicians only.

CBC is an advanced engineering devel-
opment of ABS. When braking during 
cornering with high lateral accelera-
tion, or when braking during a lane 
change, vehicle stability is improved 
and the steering response is enhanced.

If the ABS in the instrument 
cluster lights up, refer to 
page 

reverts to conventional operation as on 
vehicles without ABS. However, have 
the brake system checked by your 

BMW center as soon as possible. To 
prevent undetected defects and cumu-
lative faults from adversely affecting the 
brake system, refer any problems to 
your BMW center at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

ABS warning lamp for Canadian 
models.

If the brake warning lamp 
comes on together with the indi-
cator lamps for ABS and 
ASC+T/DSC, refer to page 

, 

the entire ABS, CBC and 
ASC+T/DSC control system has 
failed. Continue driving 
cautiously and defensively. 

Avoid full brake applications. This could 
cause the vehicle to lose stability and 
you might no longer be able to control 
it.
Have the system checked as soon as 
possible by your BMW center.

CBC, ABS and ASC+T/DSC

and 

ADB/ADB-X/DBC indicator and 
warning lamps for Canadian 
models.

DBC is included in the DSC, refer to 
information beginning on page 

If you step on the brake rapidly, this 
system automatically produces 
maximum braking force boost and thus 
helps to achieve the shortest possible 
braking distance during "panic stops." 
All of the benefits of the ABS system 
are exploited under these circum-
stances.

Do not reduce the pressure on the 
brake pedal for the duration of the 
brake application. When the brake 
pedal is released, the DBC is deacti-
vated.

In the event of a malfunction, 
the yellow brake warning lamp 
comes on. Normal braking effi-

ciency and ABS are still fully available. 
Have the system checked and repaired 
at your BMW center as soon as 
possible.

Please observe the section "Infor-
mation for your safety" concerning 

the ABS system, which also applies to 
the DSC system.
