Level control system

Skid control

Release the accelerator pedal. Coun-
tersteer carefully and attempt to regain
control of the vehicle.

Parking

Place the selector lever in "Park." and
apply the parking brake when parking
on inclined surfaces. In order to prevent
the parking brake linings from locking
due to frost or corrosion, dry them by
gently applying the parking brake as the
vehicle is coming to a stop. Make sure
that following traffic is not endangered.

The brake lamps do not light up
when the parking brake is ap-

plied.

If there is a change in steering response
(difficult steering, for example) or, espe-
cially on vehicles with Servotronic

, if

the steering "drifts" or "floats" at in-
creasing speeds:
Have your authorized BMW center in-
spect this system as soon as possible.

If the power steering fails, in-
creased effort will be required to

steer the vehicle.

The warning lamp for the level
control system comes on, or the
message LEVEL CONTROL IN-

ACTIVE appears in the Check Control

There is a malfunction in the level con-
trol system.

Stop and inspect the vehicle. If it is
riding significantly lower in the rear than
in the front, or if it is sitting at an incline
(left rear compared to right rear), con-
sult the nearest authorized BMW cen-
ter. Drive with appropriate caution in
the meantime, especially if you are driv-
ing under poor road-surface conditions.
The vehicle has reduced ground clear-
ance or driving comfort is noticeably re-
duced.

Even if the attitude of the vehicle is nor-
mal, you should consult the nearest au-
thorized BMW center if the warning
lamp indicates a system fault.
