xDrivexDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your ve‐
hicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC
further optimize traction and driving dynamics.
The xDrive all-wheel-drive system variably dis‐
tributes the drive forces to the front and rear
axles as demanded by the driving situation and
road surface.

HDC Hill Descent Control
The concept HDC is a downhill driving assistant that auto‐
matically controls vehicle speed on steep
downhill gradients. Without applying the
brakes, the vehicle moves at slightly more than
walking speed.
Hill Descent Control can be activated at
speeds below approx. 22 mph/35 km/h. When
driving downhill, the vehicle reduces its speed
to approx. walking speed and then keeps its
speed constant.
As long as there is active braking, the system
is on standby. The system does not brake the
vehicle during this time.
Only use HDC in low gears or in selector lever
position D or R.
Increasing or decreasing vehicle
speed
Specify desired speed in the range from ap‐
prox. 4 mph/6 km/h to approx. 15 mph/25 km/h
using the rocker reel of the cruise control on
the steering wheel. Vehicle speed can be
changed by lightly accelerating.▷Press the rocker reel up to the point of re‐
sistance: the speed increases gradually.▷Press up the rocker reel past the point of
resistance: the speed increases while the
rocker reel is pressed.▷Press the rocker reel down to the point of
resistance: the speed decreases gradually.▷Press the rocker reel down past the point
of resistance: when driving forward, the
speed decreases to approx.
6 mph/10 km/h; when reversing, the speed
decreases to approx. 4 mph/6 km/h.
Activating HDC
Press button; the LED above the button
lights up.

stances.

Response Center can no longer be heard
via the speaker, you can nevertheless still
be heard at the BMW Response Center.
