Automatic Stability Control plus Traction (ASC+T)*

The concept

ASC+T optimizes vehicle stability and
traction, especially when just starting
off, when accelerating or when going
through curves.

ASC+T is ready each time you start the
engine.

ASC+T incorporates the Automatic Dif-
ferential Brake (ADB) and Cornering
Brake Control (CBC) functions.

Additional information on ASC+T is
found in the "Technology" brochure.

Indicator lamp

The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after the ignition has been

switched on; refer to page

> The indicator lamp flashes: ASC+T is

actively controlling drive torque and
braking intervention

> The indicator lamp stays lit: ASC+T

has been switched off with the but-
ton; ADB is operational. ADB control
intervention is not indicated.

The indicator and the brake
warning lamps will remain on
continuously yellow:

The ASC+T and ADB have been
switched off manually or there is

a system malfunction.

You can still drive the vehicle as normal
without ASC+T.

In the event of a fault, please consult
your BMW center.

Switching off the ASC+T/
activating the ADB

Press the ASC button briefly; the indi-
cator lamp comes on and stays on.

ASC+T has been switched off; ADB is
operational.

In the following rare situations, it may
be effective to activate the ADB for a
brief period:
> When rocking the vehicle or starting

off in deep snow or on loose surfaces

> When driving with snow chains.

To maintain vehicle stability,
always drive with the ASC+T acti-

vated whenever possible.
