Technology for comfort, convenience and safety
94 In the event of a malfunction, the

Warning lamp on Canadian models.
Dynamic Drive
The concept
Dynamic Drive minimizes body roll and
optimizes vehicle stability during cornering
and evasive maneuvers.
Active stabilizers at the front and rear axles
form the basis for Dynamic Drive. Suspen-
sion compliance adapts to suit driving con-
ditions, varying from performance-oriented
during cornering to smooth and comfort-
oriented when the vehicle is proceeding in
a straight line.
The system assumes operational status
each time you start the engine.
Driving with Dynamic Drive
During vehicle operation, the system con-
tinuously runs through closed-loop control
cycles lasting only fractions of a second.
In case of malfunction
The symbol will light up, accompa-
nied by a status message in the
Check Control. Please take note of
the additional information on the Control
Display.
You can find more information on the
Check Control starting on page 82.
If the Dynamic Drive system switches
off in response to malfunction, please
remember to adapt your speed accord-
ingly, especially in curves.
The suspension will be noticeably softer
and the vehicle will display a greater ten-dency to tilt during cornering and in cross-
winds.
If a Check Control message stating that
you should stop appears in addition to the
red symbol, stop immediately and switch
off the engine. In this case the oil level in
the reservoir may have dropped below the
minimum, possibly owing to a leak in the
hydraulic system.
Please observe the additional instructions
provided on the Control Display.<
EDC Electronic Damping
Control*
The suspension responds to changes in
factors such as road surface, or operating
conditions such as steering and braking, by
adapting to the new conditions within frac-
tions of a second.
Two programs are available; they can be
selected in the "Settings" menu.
Comfort program
The Comfort program is suitable for use
throughout the vehicle's entire speed range
and regardless of load.
Sport program
You should select the Sport program for
consistently performance-oriented
response from shock absorbers and steer-
ing.

the vehicle is visibly lower than the front,
possibly accompanied by a tilt noticeable
when you compare the left rear with the
right rear, please respond by immediately
proceeding to the nearest BMW center.
Drive with appropriate caution in the mean-
time. The vehicle has reduced ground
clearance and driving comfort may be
noticeably reduced. Even if the attitude of
the vehicle is normal, you should consult
the nearest BMW center if the warning
lamp indicates a system fault.
Brake force display
The Brake force display indicates the inten-
sity with which you are applying your
brakes to drivers of following vehicles.
The display consists of two stages:
>Normal braking:
The brake lamps in the tail lamp assem-
blies 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.

>you request the current position of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise
display?
The system is unable to receive enough
GPS signals at your current position
owing to obstructions, your position is
not yet available on your navigation CD/
DVD, or the system is in the process of
calculating your position. Please wait
and then try again later on
>the GPS logo disappears from the Con-
trol Display screen?
Reception is interrupted; a building or
similar obstruction may be the cause
>the destination guidance refuses to
import an address from the destination
directory as its destination?
The address is not stored on the navi-
gation CD/DVD currently in use.

ble to the original one, using the desti-
nation entry map as required

selected locality on your navigation CD/
DVD. Enter any street, or a destination
such as the railway station, etc., then
start the destination guidance
>you want to enter an address for the
destination guidance, but it is not pos-
sible to select the letters for your
desired entry?
The address is not stored on the navi-
gation CD/DVD 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 >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
navigation CD/DVD. Instead of the turn-
off arrow, an arrow appears that follows
the course of the planned route,
or
you have left the proposed route and
the system requires a few seconds to
calculate a new route proposal
>during destination guidance the desti-
nation route map is automatically dis-
played?

yet been recorded on the navigation
CD/DVD. The destination guidance
cannot operate under these conditions.

tion of your BMW in the map display to
help you orient yourself
>the battery has been disconnected?
It will take approx. 15 minutes for the
system to resume operation.
