Antilock Brake System (ABS)

The concept

ABS keeps the wheels from locking

during braking, thereby enhancing

active driving safety.

Braking with ABS

If you are in a situation that requires full

braking, you will exploit the full benefits

of the ABS system if you apply maxi-

mum pedal pressure – panic stop.

Since the vehicle maintains steering

responsiveness, you can avoid possible

obstacles with a minimum of steering

effort, despite the full brake application.

Pulsation at the brake pedal combines

with sounds from the hydraulic circuits

to indicate to the driver that ABS is in

its active mode.

Dynamic Brake Control (DBC)

DBC is included in the DSC, refer to

page 83.

If you apply the brakes rapidly, this sys-

tem automatically generates maximum

braking force boost and thus helps to

achieve the shortest possible braking

distance in panic braking situations. All

of the benefits of the ABS are exploited

under these circumstances.

Do not reduce the pressure on the

brake pedal for the duration of the

brake application. When the brake

pedal is released, the DBC is deacti-

vated.

Cornering Brake Control (CBC)

CBC is an advanced engineering

design of the ABS. When braking while

cornering at high speed or braking dur-

ing high lateral acceleration, or when

braking during a lane change, vehicle

stability is improved and steering

response is enhanced.

Brake system

Brake fluid level

Low brake fluid level in the reservoir

combined with longer than usual pedal

travel may indicate a defect in one of

the brake system's hydraulic circuits.

Proceed to the nearest BMW cen-

ter. Higher brake application pres-

sure may be necessary when stopping,

and the vehicle may exhibit a slight ten-

dency to pull to one side. Brake dis-

tances may even be longer. Please

remember to adapt your driving style

accordingly.<

Disc brakes

When the vehicle is driven only occa-

sionally, during extended periods when

the vehicle is not used at all, and in

operating conditions where brake appli-

cations are less frequent, there is an

increased tendency for corrosion of the

rotors and accumulation of contamina-

tion on the brake pads. This occurs

because the minimal pressure that must

be exerted by the pads to clean the

rotors by brake applications is not

reached.
