Overview

Antilock Brake System (ABS)

Antilock Brake System (ABS)/
Cornering Brake Control (CBC)

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.

In the event of a fault

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

. The brake system then

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 DSC
(refer to page

), the entire

ABS, CBC and DSC control sys-
tem 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.
