function indicator is illuminated, the system 
may not be able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may 
occur for a variety of reasons, including the 
installation of replacement or alternate tires or 
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS 
from functioning properly. Always check the 
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or 
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure 
that the replacement or alternate tires and 
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function 
properly.
Active steering*
The concept
The active steering actively varies the steering 
angle of the front wheels in relation to the steer-
ing wheel movements. In addition, it also varies 
the steering force required for steering depend-
ing on the vehicle's speed.
When you are driving in the low road speed 
range, e.g. in a town or when parking, the steer-
ing angle increases, i.e. the steering becomes 
very direct. In the higher speed range, on the 
other hand, the steering angle is reduced more 
and more. This improves the handling capability 
of your BMW over the entire speed range.
In critical situations, the system can make tar-
geted corrections to the steering angle pro-
vided by the driver and thus stabilize the vehicle 
before the driver intervenes.
Malfunction
The warning lamp lights up yellow 
and a message is shown on the Con-
trol Display. The active steering is no 
longer operational. At low speeds, 
greater steering wheel movements are 
required, whereas at higher speeds, the vehicle 
reacts more sensitively to steering wheel move-
ments. The stability-promoting intervention 
can also be deactivated. Proceed cautiously 
and drive defensively. Have the system 
checked.
