Things to remember when driving

106

Braking safely

Your BMW is equipped with ABS as a standard

feature. In situations that require it, it is best to

brake with full force. Since the vehicle maintains

steering responsiveness, you can still avoid

possible obstacles with a minimum of steering

effort.

The pulsing of he brake pedal indicates that the

ABS is controlling braking.

In certain braking situations the perforated

brake rotors can cause operating noises which,

however, have not effect on the performance

and operating safety of the brake system.

Do not drive with your foot resting on the

brake pedal. Even light but consistent

pedal pressure can lead to high temperatures,

brake wear and possibly even brake failure.<

Driving in wet conditions

When roads are wet or there is heavy rain,

briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal

every few miles. 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 full braking efficiency will then be available

when you need it.

Hills

To prevent overheating and the resulting

reduced efficiency of the brake system,

drive long or steep downhill gradients in the

gear in which the least braking is required. Even

light but consistent pressure on the brake pedal

can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and

possibly even brake failure.<

Do not drive in idle or with the engine

switched off, otherwise there will be no

engine braking action or support of the braking

force and steering.

Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other

objects to protrude into the area of movement

of the pedals and impair their operation.<

Corrosion on brake rotors

When the vehicle is driven only occasionally,

during extended periods when the vehicle is not

used at all, and in operating conditions where

brake applications 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 minimum

pressure which must be exerted by the pads

during brake applications to clean the rotors is

not reached.

Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the

brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating

effect that even extended application will fail to

cure.

When vehicle is parked

Condensation forms in the air conditioner sys-

tem during operation, and then exits under the

vehicle. Traces of condensed water under the

vehicle are therefore normal.

Before driving into a car wash

Fold in the exterior mirrors, refer to page 46,

otherwise they could be damaged due to the

width of the vehicle.

General information on the care and mainte-

nance of your BMW is contained in the Caring

for your vehicle brochure.

Ground clearance

Ensure that sufficient ground clearance

is available. To drive down curbs, select

the "Sport" program of the EDC Electronic

Damping Control, refer to page 76, to keep the

ground clearance as uniform as possible.

Otherwise the vehicle may be damaged.<

Cargo loading

To avoid loading the tires beyond their

approved carrying capacity, never over-

load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over-

heating and increases the rate at which damage

develops inside the tires. The ultimate result

can assume the form of a sudden blow-out.<
