cannot be ruled out that vehicle electronics and

the mobile communications device interfere

with one another. In addition, it is not ensured

that the radio waves emitted during transmis-

sion are directed outside of the vehicle inte-

rior.<

Interior and exterior mirrors with

automatic dimming feature*

The automatic dimming feature of the interior

and exterior mirrors

* is controlled by two photo

cells in the interior rearview mirror. In the Road-

ster, one is located in the mirror glass, see

arrow. In the Coupe, it is located at the bottom

of the mirror frame. The other photo cell is on

the back of the mirror.

In order to ensure that the system functions

correctly, keep the photocells clean, do not

cover the area between the interior rearview

mirror and windshield, and do not affix adhesive

labels or stickers of any kind to the windshield

directly in front of the mirror.

Hydroplaning

When driving on wet or slushy roads,

reduce vehicle speed. If you do not, a

wedge of water may form between the tires and

the road surface. This situation, known as

hydroplaning, means that the tire can com-

pletely lose contact with the road surface, so

that neither the car can be steered nor the brake

be properly applied.<

The risk of hydroplaning increases with declin-

ing tread depth on the tires, refer also to Mini-

mum tread depth on page 83.

Driving through water

Drive through water on the road only if it is

not deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only

at walking speed at the most. Otherwise, the

vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the

transmission may be damaged.<

Moisture inside the vehicle

Make sure that the passenger compart-

ment does not become wet and that liq-

uids are transported in closed containers.

Otherwise, moisture could penetrate and dam-

age electronic components inside the vehicle.<

Use the parking brake on inclines

On inclines, keep the vehicle from rolling

by using the parking brake rather than by

slipping the clutch, which would lead to a high

degree of clutch wear.<

Braking safely

Your BMW is equipped with ABS as a standard

feature. Applying the brakes fully is the most

effective way of braking in situations in which

this is necessary. Since the vehicle maintains

steering responsiveness, you can still avoid

possible obstacles with a minimum of steering

effort.

Pulsation at the brake pedal combines with

sounds from the hydraulic circuits to indicate to

the driver that ABS is in its active mode.

Wet roads

When roads are wet or there is heavy rain,

briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal

every few miles. Watch traffic conditions to

ensure that this maneuver does not endanger

other road users. The resulting heat dries the

brake rotors and brake pads. Immediate braking

force is then available if necessary.

Inclines

To prevent overheating and, as a result,

diminished braking effectiveness, drive

down long or steep downhill grades in the gear

that requires the least braking. Otherwise, even

light but consistent pedal pressure can lead to
