page 66. We recommend this program for

performance-oriented driving.

When you press the S/M/D button a sec-

ond 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 press 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 executed only

when they will result in a plausible combi-

nation 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.

To obtain maximum acceleration, for

passing maneuvers, etc., during

operation in the manual mode, use the

kickdown or downshift manually.<

Malfunctions

A status report will appear in the Check

Control to alert you to any malfunctions in

the transmission-control system. Please

note any supplementary information that

appears on the Control Display. The direc-

tional arrows also start to flash in the Info

Display.

While it will remain still possible to move

the selector lever to any desired position,

the transmission will revert to operation in

its default mode with only a limited number

of forward gears.

Some types of malfunction will make it

impossible to engage all gears.

The engine may respond with reduced out-

put when accelerating from a standing

start.

If this happens, avoid extreme engine loads

and consult the nearest BMW center.

If no status messages appear in the

Info Display you should accelerate

carefully to confirm that you are driving in

the desired direction.

Never work in the engine compartment

with any of the forward or reverse gears

engaged, as the vehicle could start to

move. Engaging the parking brake, refer to

page 62.<

Manual release of transmission

lockout

You can respond to any interruptions in the

supply of electrical power, for instance, if

the battery is discharged or disconnected,

by releasing the transmission lockout man-

ually.

To prevent the drive wheels from

locking up and sliding, the transmis-

sion lockout must always be released man-

ually before the vehicle is towed.<

Press the brake pedal before releas-

ing the transmission lockout manu-

ally. If the brakes are not applied, the vehi-

cle could start to roll if parked on a steep

slope.

The transmission lockout should only be

released for towing. Remember to engage

the transmission lockout when you repark

the vehicle after moving it.

Should it also be necessary to release

the parking brake manually, owing to a dis-

charged battery, etc., always adhere to the

following sequence:

1. Start by manually releasing the parking

brake, refer to page 64

2. Then proceed to manually release the

transmission lockout.<

Jump-starting and towing, refer to

pages 207 and 208.
