You also enjoy the option of having the
system show distances to objects in the
Control Display. The Control Display will
also indicate the presence of objects in
green before they are close enough to
generate a signal tone.
Select "PDC pic." from the "Settings" menu
and confirm your selection. This activates
the PDC display.
The display then appears in the Control
Display whenever PDC is automatically or
manually activated.
The previous display automatically reap-
pears after the system is deactivated.
Confirm in the menu to return to
the previous display.<
Even with PDC, final responsibility for
estimating the distance between the
vehicle and any obstructions always
remains with the driver. Even when sensors
are involved, there is a blind spot in which
objects cannot be detected. The system is
also subject to the physical limits that apply
to all forms of ultrasonic measurement,
such as those encountered with tow bars
and trailer couplings, as well as thin and
wedge-shaped objects, etc. After initial
detection, low objects such as curbs, etc.,
may disappear again before the system
starts to generate a continuous warning
tone. Loud noises from outside and inside
the vehicle may prevent you from hearing
PDC's signal tone.<
Keep the sensors clean and free of ice
or snow in order to ensure that they
will continue to operate effectively.
Do not apply high pressure spray to the
sensors for a prolonged period of time. Keep the spray at least 4 in (10 cm) away
from the sensors.<
Driving stability control/
DSC Dynamic Stability
Control Your BMW is equipped with an extended
array of systems designed to enhance and
maintain vehicle stability under extreme
conditions. The following section describes
these functions based on DSC and ABS. The concept DSC maintains vehicle stability, even in
critical driving situations.
The system optimizes vehicle stability
during acceleration and when starting from
a full stop, as well as optimizing traction.
The system recognizes any tendency for
the vehicle to assume an unstable attitude
such as oversteer or understeer; it then
counteracts this tendency with a combina-
tion of graduated reductions in engine
torque and selective braking intervention at
individual wheels. DSC provides optimal
stability within the limits defined by the
laws of physics.
The DSC is operational every time you start
the engine. DSC includes the functionality
of the DTC Dynamic Traction Control and
DBC Dynamic Brake Control.
With its selective braking intervention at the
individual drive wheels, DTC fulfills the
same function as a conventional limited-
slip differential to enhance traction under
difficult driving conditions, such as on
snow, etc. Indicator lamps
The indicator lamp in the Info
Display goes out soon after you
start the engine.
If the indicator lamp flashes:
DSC controls the drive and braking forces.
The indicator lamp stays lit:
DSC has been switched off via the Control
Display.

Navigation

Wordmatch principleYour navigation system features a word-
match system designed to make it easier
for you to enter names. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destina-
tion entries with the data stored on the map
CD as the basis for instant response. The
user benefits include:
>When you make an entry that consists of
more than one word, the system can iden-
tify the name regardless of the sequence in
which you enter the individual words.
Example:
Official version:
J.F. Kennedy Square
Possible entries:
Kennedy Square J.F.
or:
Square J.F. Kennedy
>Names of specific locations can also
vary from the official versions provided that
the spelling of the entry corresponds to a
standard form used in another country.
>When you are entering the names of
cities and streets the system will complete
them automatically as soon as enough
letters are available to ensure unambig-
uous identification.
Example:
For instance, if you were searching for Iowa
Ave NW in Washington, the system could
identify the street as soon as you typed in
the letter "o" and would proceed to
complete the entry automatically
>The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the
map CD. The system will not accept non-
existent names and addresses.What to do if ÉWhat to do if É
>you request the current location of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise
display?
The system is unable to receive enough GPS signals at your current location owing
to obstructions, your location is not yet
available on your CD, or the system is in the
process of calculating your location. Please
wait and then try again later on.
>the GPS logo disappears from the
Control Display screen?
Reception is interrupted; a building or
similar obstruction may be the cause.
>the guidance system refuses to import
an address from the destination directory
as its destination?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. Choose an
address as close as possible to the original
one, using the destination entry map as
required.
>the guidance system adopts an address
without the street?
No specified center is defined for the
selected locality on your CD. Enter any
street, or a destination such as the railway
station, etc., then start the guidance
system.
>you want to enter an address for the
guidance system, but it is not possible to
select the letters for your desired entry?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. In this case, the
system will not offer you any letters to
choose from. Choose an address as close
as possible to the original one, using the
destination entry map as required.
>you attempt to enter a destination
address using the target cursor, but the
guidance system refuses to accept your
entry?
Your current scale does not offer adequate
resolution. The system can only import
destinations at map scales to 0.6 miles
(1 km).
>the system stops furnishing directions
on which way to turn as you approach
intersections?
You are driving in an area that has not yet
been completely recorded on the map CD.
Instead of an arrow indicating a turn, you
will see an arrow which indicates the
general direction of your planned route;

The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. In the
unlikely event that one of these lamps
should fail, you can respond by switching
on your fog lamps and proceeding carefully
(where allowed by law). To avoid risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries: owing to the extremely high volt-
ages at which these units operate, service
work should always be entrusted to quali-
fied personnel.<

Safety precautions to observe in the
event of a flat tire and during all tire
changes: park the vehicle as far as possible
from passing traffic. Park on a firm, flat,
surface. Switch on the hazard warning
flashers.
Engage the parking brake and move the
transmission's selector lever to P.
Have all vehicle occcupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain outside
the immediate area in a safe place, such as
behind a guardrail. If a warning triangle or
portable hazard warning lamp is required,
set it up on the roadside at an appropriate
distance from the rear of the vehicle.
Comply with all safety guidelines and regu-
lations.
Change the wheel only on a level, firm
surface which is not slippery. The vehicle or

>Clearance and maneuvering capability
will be strictly limited in corners
>When mounted at an angle, the towbar
will exert lateral forces, tending to push the
vehicle sideways.
Never use a vehicle to tow another
vehicle that is heavier than itself, as
this could lead to a loss of control.< Towing
Do not tow the vehicle by the rear
axle; because the steering detent is
not operational, the wheels could turn to an
extreme angle during towing.<
1.Switch on the ignition to allow operation
of the brake lamps, turn signal indicators,
horn, parking brake and windshield wipers
2.Turn on the hazard warning flashers
where allowed by law
3.Manual release of the transmission
lockout, refer to page 70
4.Maximum towing speed:
maximum 43 mph (70 km/h)
5.Maximum towing distance:
maximum 93 miles (150 km).
If the electrical system in the towed vehicle
has failed, use an alternate means to iden-
tify the vehicle as being towed such as a
sign or warning triangle placed in the rear
window.
The steering and brakes are without
power assistance when the engine is
off. This means that higher levels of effort
will be required to operate the steering and
brakes.<
Tow-starting It is not possible to start the engine by tow-
starting the vehicle.
Jump starting, refer to page 187.
Have the source of the starting difficulties
diagnosed and repaired at your BMW
center.
Towing with a commercial tow truck >Do not tow with sling-type equipment
>Use a wheel lift or flatbed carrier
>Please comply with applicable towing
laws.
Never allow passengers to ride in a
towed vehicle for any reason.<
