>

When the vehicle is stopped, the trans-
mission automatically downshifts into 
first gear

Shortly before dropping below a gear-

The gear currently selected, the selected 
shifting mode and, if applicable, malfunc-
tions are displayed in the instrument clus-

If the indicator lamp lights up, a 
malfunction has occurred in the 
transmission system. 

While it will remain still possible to move 
the selector lever to any desired position,

its default mode with only a limited number 
of forward gears.

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

In case of overheating in the area of the 
transmission, an acoustic signal indicates 
that you should stop or start off quickly if 
possible so that the system can cool down 
again.
