2014 BMW 3 SERIES SPORTS WAGON change wheel

When you approach a curve the system may
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due to
the bend of the curve. If the system deceler‐
ates you may compensate it by briefly acceler‐
ating.
After releasing the gas pedal the system is re‐
activated and controls speed independently.
Driving away In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off
automatically; for example:
▷On steep inclines.▷From behind bumps in the road.
In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.
