BMW 745i Manual Do Proprietário

Technology for comfort, convenience and safety

To maintain optimal stability, drive
with the system on whenever pos-

sible.

Reactivating DSC

Select "Settings". Select "DSC" and con-
firm your entry. DSC is now activated. The
indicator lamp in the Info Display goes out.

The laws of physics cannot be
repealed, even with DSC. An approp-

riate driving style always remains the
responsibility of the driver. Avoid using the
additional safety margin provided by the
system as an excuse for taking unneces-
sary risks.
When DTC is active, DSC provides only
limited system response up to a speed of
approximately 45 mph (70 km/h). Interven-
tion for stability-enhancement is reduced.
Do not make any modifications to the DSC
system. Never allow anyone other than
authorized professional technicians to
carry out service or repairs on the DSC
system.

DBC Dynamic Brake Control

When you apply the brakes rapidly, this
system automatically produces the max-
imum braking force boost and thus helps to
achieve the shortest possible braking dis-
tance during panic stops. This system
exploits all of the benefits provided by ABS.

Do not reduce the pressure on the brake
pedal for the duration of the brake applica-
tion. When the brake pedal is released, the
DBC is deactivated.

In the event of a malfunction, the
warning lamp comes on with a
yellow light. Have the system

checked and repaired at your BMW center
as soon as possible.

provided in the Control Display.

Driving stability control/
ABS Antilock Braking
System

The concept

ABS enhances active safety by preventing
the wheels from locking under braking.

ABS incorporates CBC and EBV.

In case of malfunction

If the indicator lamp lights up in
yellow, this indicates that ABS has
been deactivated in response to a

system malfunction. Conventional braking
efficiency remains available without limita-
tions. Please have the system inspected at
your BMW center.

CBC Cornering Brake Control

CBC is a technical advance based on ABS.
It provides further enhancements in vehicle
stability and steering response during lane
changes and cornering at high rates of lat-
eral acceleration.

EBV Electronic brake-force
distribution

EBV controls the brake system's applica-
tion pressure at the rear wheels to ensure
stable deceleration.

In case of malfunction

If the brake system warning lamp
lights up in red, appearing together
with the yellow indicator lamps for
ABS and DSC: the stability control
is no longer operational.

If all three lamps light up in yellow:
malfunction in the stability control
systems.

While you may continue, you should
remember to proceed cautiously and drive
defensively while avoiding full brake appli-
cations.
Please have the system checked at the
nearest BMW center.
