PDC with visual warning
You also enjoy the option of having the sys-
tem show distances to objects on the Con-
trol 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 on the Control
Display whenever the PDC is automatically
or manually activated.
The previous display automatically reap-
pears after the system is deactivated.
confirm to return to the previous dis-
play.
System limits
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. Low objects
already displayed, e.g. a curb, can also dis-
appear from the detection area of the sen-
sors again before a continuous tone
sounds.
Loud noises from outside and inside the
vehicle may prevent you from hearing the
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
systems
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.
ABS Antilock Brake System
ABS enhances active safety by preventing
the wheels from locking under braking.
ABS incorporates CBC and EBV.
Malfunction
The warning lamp lights up yellow
and ABS is switched off. Conven-
tional braking efficiency remains
available without limitations. Have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
CBC Cornering Brake Control
CBC is a supplement to ABS. It provides
further enhancements in vehicle stability
and steering response during lane changes
and cornering at high rates of lateral accel-
eration.

What to do if …
What to do if …
>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.
Choose an address as close as possi-
ble to the original one, using the desti-
nation entry map as required
>the destination guidance does not
apply an address without the street?
No specified center is defined for the
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?
You are driving in an area that has not
yet been recorded on the navigation
CD/DVD. The destination guidance
cannot operate under these conditions.
However, you will see the current posi-
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.

Xenon lamps
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 care-
fully, where allowed by law. Only have work on the xenon lighting
system including bulb changes car-
ried out by a BMW center or a workshop
that uses personnel trained in accordance
with BMW requirements. Due to the high
voltage involved, there is a danger to life
and limb when work is carried out improp-
erly.<
