Have a malfunction corrected only by a
BMW center or a repair shop that works in

accordance with BMW guidelines and uses
appropriately trained personnel. Only techni-
cians can return the parking brake to normal
operational status after it has been released
manually in response to a malfunction.

Following manual release, the actual sta-
tus of the parking brake may deviate from

Reinitializing after a power supply
interruption

The parking brake can only be used again
if it was manually released due to an inter-

ruption in the supply of electrical power. Other-
wise, the function of the parking brake is not
guaranteed and there is a danger of the vehicle
rolling despite the parking brake being
engaged.

Once the electrical power supply has been
restored, you can again use the parking brake:

With the ignition on and the vehicle
stationary, briefly press the button
three times at intervals of approx.
5 seconds. This executes the fol-
lowing initialization sequence:
