PDC with visual warning

You also enjoy the option of having the sys-

tem show distances to objects on the Con-

trol Display. The Control Display will also

indicate the presence of objects in green

before they are close enough to generate a

signal tone.

Select "PDC pic." from the "Settings" menu

and confirm your selection. This activates

the PDC display.

The display then appears on the Control

Display whenever the PDC is automatically

or manually activated.

The previous display automatically reap-

pears after the system is deactivated.

confirm to return to the previous dis-

play.

System limits

Even with PDC, final responsibility for

estimating the distance between the

vehicle and any obstructions always

remains with the driver. Even when sensors

are involved, there is a blind spot in which

objects cannot be detected. The system is

also subject to the physical limits that apply

to all forms of ultrasonic measurement,

such as those encountered with tow bars

and trailer couplings, as well as thin and

wedge-shaped objects, etc. Low objects

already displayed, e.g. a curb, can also dis-

appear from the detection area of the sen-

sors again before a continuous tone

sounds.

Loud noises from outside and inside the

vehicle may prevent you from hearing the

PDC's signal tone.<

Keep the sensors clean and free of ice

or snow in order to ensure that they

will continue to operate effectively.

Do not apply high pressure spray to the

sensors for a prolonged period of time.

Keep the spray at least 4 in/10 cm away

from the sensors.<

Driving stability control

systems

Your BMW is equipped with an extended

array of systems designed to enhance and

maintain vehicle stability under extreme

conditions. The following section describes

these functions based on DSC and ABS.

ABS Antilock Brake System

ABS enhances active safety by preventing

the wheels from locking under braking.

ABS incorporates CBC and EBV.

Malfunction

The warning lamp lights up yellow

and ABS is switched off. Conven-

tional braking efficiency remains

available without limitations. Have the sys-

tem checked as soon as possible.

CBC Cornering Brake Control

CBC is a supplement to ABS. It provides

further enhancements in vehicle stability

and steering response during lane changes

and cornering at high rates of lateral accel-

eration.
