Indicator and warning lamps

Technology that monitors itself

Many of the systems of your BMW
monitor themselves automatically, both
during engine starts and while you are
driving. Indicator and warning lamps
that are identified by "

●

" are tested for

proper functioning whenever the igni-
tion key is turned. They each light up
once for different periods of time.

If a fault should occur in one of these
systems, the corresponding lamp does
not go out after the engine is started or
it will light up while the vehicle is
moving. You will see how to react to
this below.

Red: stop immediately

Battery charge current

●

The battery is no longer being
charged. There is a malfunction

of the alternator V-belt or in the
charging circuit of the alternator. Please
contact the nearest BMW center.

If the V-belt is defective, do not
continue driving. The engine could

be damaged due to overheating. If the
V-belt is defective, increased steering
effort is also required.

Engine oil pressure

●

Stop the vehicle immediately
and switch off the engine. Check

the engine oil level and refill as required.
If the oil level is correct, please contact
the nearest BMW center.

Do not continue driving, otherwise,
the engine could be damaged

because of inadequate lubrication.

Tire Pressure Control (RDC)

●

In addition, an acoustic signal
will go off: a tire failure has

occurred. Reduce vehicle speed imme-
diately and stop the vehicle. Avoid hard
brake applications. Do not oversteer.
