Safe braking

Emergency stops

You brake most effectively when you

apply maximum pedal pressure in situa-

tions requiring it: emergency stops.

Since the vehicle maintains steering

responsiveness, you can nevertheless

avoid possible obstacles with a mini-

mum of steering effort.

Pulsation at the brake pedal combined

with sounds from the hydraulic circuits

indicates to the driver that ABS is in its

active mode.

Brake fluid level

If the brake fluid level is too low and

brake pedal travel has become longer,

there may be a malfunction in one of

the two brake system's hydraulic cir-

cuits.

Proceed to the nearest BMW

Sports Activity Vehicle center.

In so doing, increased pressure on the

brake pedal may be required, and slight

pulling to the side and longer braking

distances may result. Please remember

to adapt your driving style accord-

ingly.<

Disk 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 to

form on rotors, while contaminants

accumulate on the brake pads. This

occurs because the minimal pressure

that the pads must exert to clean the

rotors during brake applications is not

reached.

If the brake rotors are corroded, they

will tend to respond to braking with a

pulsating effect that even extended

application will fail to cure.

When driving in wet conditions and in

heavy rain, it is advisable to apply light

pressure to the brake pedal from time

to time. Monitor traffic conditions to

ensure that this maneuver does not

endanger other road users. The heat

generated in this process helps dry the

pads and rotors to ensure that the brak-

ing force is then immediately available

when required.

Extended or steep mountain descents

should be driven in the gear in which

only minimal periodic brake application

is required. This avoids excessive strain

on the brakes and possible impairment

of braking action.

Do not drive with the clutch pedal

depressed, at idle or with the

engine switched off, as otherwise there

will be no engine braking effect or

power assistance for braking and steer-

ing.

BMW recommends having brake

inspections performed at a BMW

Sports Activity Vehicle center only. If

you do not, parts of the 4-wheel drive

system could be damaged.

No floor mats, carpets or other objects

may lie in the area of pedal travel, as

otherwise pedal operation may be

impaired.<

Brake pads

For your own safety: use only

brake pads that BMW has

approved for your particular vehicle

model. BMW cannot evaluate non-

approved brake pads to determine if

they are suited for use, and therefore

cannot ensure the operating safety of

the vehicle if they are installed.<
