Antilock Brake System (ABS)

In the event of a fault

If the brake warning lamp
comes on red together with the
yellow indicator lamps for ABS
and DSC (refer to pages

and

), ABS, CBC, DSC, DBC,

EBV and HDC have failed. You
may continue driving, but drive
defensively and with extra cau-

tion. Avoid full brake applications be-
cause the vehicle could become unsta-
ble and go out of control.
Have the system checked by the near-
est BMW center.

If all all three warning lamps come on
yellow:
ABS, CBC, DSC, DBC and HDC have
failed. The effect of the EBV Brake
Force Distribution at the rear wheels,
which achieves stable brake response,
is largely preserved. Optimum brake
force and braking stability are no longer
assured. Continue to drive; drive cau-
tiously and defensively and avoid full
brake applications.
Have the system checked by your
authorized BMW center as soon as
possible.

Following an interruption in bat-
tery power, the ABS, CBC, DSC,

DBC and HDC systems are no longer
available. After you drive for only a few
yards or meters or if you turn the steer-
ing wheel from stop to stop while the
vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running, the functions are activated
again and the three warning lamps will
go out.

models.
