with Steptronic Canadian models only While you can drive as with any conven-
tional automatic transmission, you also
enjoy the option of shifting manually at the
steering wheel, refer to the next column. Transmission rangesP R N D Program displayS or M1 Ð M6Buttons on steering wheel S/M/D + Ð To select a transmission range The procedure for selecting transmission
ranges is the same as that employed in the
L mode, refer to page 67.
Sport program and manual operationWhen you press the S/M/D button on the
steering wheel once, the system responds
by activating the transmission's Sport
program, as indicated by the letter S in the
Info Display, refer to previous column. We
recommend this program for performance-
oriented driving.
When you press the S/M/D button a
second time the transmission switches to
its manual mode; press again to return to
the automatic program.
You can also return to the standard auto-
matic program by reselecting D.
In the manual mode the transmission
upshifts when you briefly tap the buttons
on the rear of the steering wheel. You
downshift by briefly pressing the buttons
on the front of the steering wheel. The Info
Display shows the manual ranges M1
through M6.
Upshifts and downshifts are excecuted
only when they will result in a plausible
combination of engine and vehicle speed;
thus (for example) a downshift that would
cause the engine to overrev will not be
executed by the system. The selected gear
appears briefly in the Info Display, followed
by the current gear.

limited system response up to a speed of
approx. 45 mph (70 km/h). Intervention for
stability-enhancement is reduced. Do not
make any modiÞcations to the DSC system.
Never allow anyone other than authorized
professional technicians to carry out
service or repairs on the DSC system.< Dynamic Brake Control DBC

When you apply the brakes rapidly, this
system automatically produces the
maximum braking force boost and thus
helps to achieve the shortest possible
braking distance 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 lamp. Have the system
checked and repaired at your BMW center
as soon as possible.
Check Control messages, refer to page 80.
Please note the supplementary information
provided in the Control Display.
Warning lamp on Canadian models.Driving stability control/
ABS Antilock Brake 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.
Cornering Brake Control CBC 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
lateral 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 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.
Check Control status messages, refer to
page 80. Please note the supplementary
information provided in the Control Display.

The display consists of two stages:
>Normal braking:
The brake lamps in the tail lamp assemblies
and the high-mount brake lamp on the rear
tray light up during braking.
>Heavy braking and braking with ABS:
The tail lamps also light up with the same
intensity as the standard brake lamp units
to enhance the warning effect of the brake
lamps.
