BMW 2006 M6 Coupe Manual Do Proprietário

Driving

Indicator lamp

The indicator lamp lights up, and a sig-
nal also sounds when starting off. The
handbrake is engaged.
Indicator lamp for Canadian models.

Engaging

The lever engages automatically.

Releasing

Pull slightly upwards, press the button and
lower the lever.

If exceptional circumstances should
make it necessary to engage the hand-

brake while the vehicle is in motion, do not pull
it too strongly. In doing so, continuously press
the button of the handbrake lever. Otherwise,
excessive pressure can lead to the rear wheels
locking up and loss of traction – fishtailing – at
the rear axle.

To prevent corrosion and one-sided brak-
ing action, occasionally apply the hand-

brake lightly when the vehicle is slowly coming
to a stop if the traffic conditions are suitable.
The brake lamps do not light up when the hand-
brake is engaged.
