Technology for driving comfort and safety
PDC Park Distance Control*
Malfunction
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster comes on. PDC is malfunc- tioning. A message appears on the
Control Display. Have the system checked. To avoid this problem, keep the sensors clean and free of ice or snow in order to ensure that they will continue to operate effectively. When using a high-pressure cleaner, do not spray the sensors for extended periods of time and only from a distance of at least 4 in/10 cm.
PDC with visual warning You can also have the system show distances to objects on the Control Display. The contours of distant objects are shown on the Control Dis- play even before the acoustic signal sounds. The setting is stored for the remote control cur- rently in use. iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16. 1. Open the start menu. 2. Press the controller to open the menu. 3. Select "Settings" and press the controller.
4. Select "Vehicle / Tires" and press the con-
5.
troller. If necessary, move the highlight marker to the uppermost field. Turn the controller
The concept The PDC assists you with maneuvering in tight parking spaces. Acoustic signals and a visual indicator warn you of the presence of an object behind your vehicle. To measure the distance, there are four ultrasonic sensors in either bumper. These sensors have a range of approx. 6.5 ft/ 2 m. However, an acoustic warning does not sound until an object is approx. 24 in/60 cm from the corner sensors, or approx. 5 ft/1.50 m from the center sensors.
PDC is a parking aid that can indicate objects when they are approached
slowly, as is usually the case when parking. Avoid approaching an object at high speed, oth- erwise physical circumstances may lead to the system warning being issued too late.<
Switching on automatically With the engine running or the ignition switched on, the system is activated automatically after approx. 1 second when you engage reverse gear or move the automatic transmission selec- tor lever to position R. Wait this short period before driving.
Signal tones When nearing an object, its position is indicated correspondingly by an interval tone. As the dis- tance between vehicle and object decreases, the intervals between the tones become shorter. If the distance to the nearest object falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm, then a contin- uous tone sounds. An interval tone is interrupted after approx. 3 seconds > if you remain in front of an object that has been detected by only one of the corner sensors
> if you are driving parallel to a wall.

until "PDC" is selected and press the con- troller.
6. Select "PDC display on" and press the con-
troller.
The PDC screen is activated.
The display is shown on the Control Display as soon as PDC is activated.
System limitations
Even with PDC, final responsibility for estimating the distance between the
vehicle and any obstructions always remains with the driver. Even when sensors are pro- vided, there is a blind spot in which objects can no longer be detected. The system is also sub- ject to the physical limits that apply to all forms of ultrasonic measurement, such as those encountered with trailer towbars and couplings, thin and wedge-shaped objects, etc. Low objects already indicated, such as a curb, may enter the sensors' dead areas before a continu- ous audible signal is given. Higher, protruding objects, such as wall ledges, may not be detect- able. Loud sound sources outside or inside the car can drown out the PDC signal.<
Driving stability control systems Your BMW has a number of systems that help to maintain the vehicle's stability even in adverse driving conditions.
ABS Antilock Brake System ABS prevents locking of the wheels during braking. Safe steering response is maintained
even during full braking. Active safety is thus increased. The ABS is operational every time you start the engine. Braking safely, refer to page 123.
Electronic brake-force distribution The system controls the brake pressure in the rear wheels to ensure stable braking behavior.
DBC Dynamic Brake Control When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically produces the maximum braking force boost and thus helps to achieve the short- est possible braking distance during full brak- ing. This system exploits all of the benefits pro- vided by ABS. Do not reduce the pressure on the brake for the duration of the full braking application.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control DSC prevents the driving wheels from losing traction when you pull away from rest or accel- erate. DSC also recognizes unstable driving conditions, for example if the rear of the car is about to swerve or if momentum is acting at an angle past the front wheels. In these cases, DSC helps the vehicle maintain a safe course within physical limits by reducing engine output and through braking actions at the individual wheels.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with DSC. An appropriate driving style always remains the responsibility of the driver. Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety margin again by taking risks.<

Deactivating DSC
> When driving with snow chains
Activating DTC
Press the button for at least 3 seconds; the indi- cator lamps for DSC in the instrument cluster light up. Dynamic Traction Control DTC and DSC have been simultaneously deactivated. Stabilizing and drive-output promoting actions are no longer executed. To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again as soon as possible.
Activating DSC Press the button again; the indicator lamps in the instrument cluster go out.
For better control
If the indicator lamp flashes: DSC controls the drive forces and brake forces. If the indicator lamps are on: DSC is deactivated.
DTC Dynamic Traction Control DTC is a version of DSC in which the drive out- put is optimized for particular road conditions, e.g. unplowed snow-covered roads. The sys- tem assures the maximal drive output, but with reduced driving stability. It is therefore neces- sary to drive with appropriate caution. You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC under the following special circumstances: > When driving uphill on snow-covered roads,
in slush or on unplowed, snow-covered roads
> When rocking a stuck vehicle free or start-
ing off in deep snow or on loose ground
88
Press the button; the indicator lamps for DTC in the instrument cluster come on.
For better control
If the indicator lamp flashes: DTC controls the drive forces and brake forces. If the indicator lamps are on: DTC has been activated.
Deactivating DTC Press the button again; the DTC indicator lamps in the instrument cluster go out.
xDrive xDrive is your BMW's four-wheel-drive system. The combined efforts of xDrive and DSC help to further optimize traction and driving dynamics. The xDrive four-wheel-drive system distributes driving power variably to the front and rear axles depending on the driving situation and road conditions.
Hill Descent Control HDC is a downhill driving assistant that reduces your speed on steep downhill gradients and makes it even easier to control your BMW's handling under these conditions. The vehicle then moves slightly faster than double walking speed without the driver needing to intervene. HDC can be activated as long as you are driving under approx. 20 mph or 35 km/h. When driving downhill at a speed of under approx. 20 mph or
35 km/h, the vehicle's speed is automatically reduced to slightly more than double walking speed and maintained.
Increasing or decreasing speed By accelerating or braking you can change the speed within a range from approx. 3 to 15 mph, approx. 5 to 25 km/h. You can specify a target speed within the same range using the cruise control lever.
Using HDC In cars with manual transmission: Use HDC in lower gears and in reverse gear. With automatic transmission: You can use HDC in any drive position.
Displays in the instrument cluster
1 To increase speed 2 To decrease speed
Activating HDC
Press the button; the indicator lamp lights up. The indicator lamp flashes when the vehicle is being braked automatically.
Deactivating HDC Press the button again; the indicator lamp goes out. HDC is automatically deactivated in the follow- ing situations: > at speeds above approx. 40 mph or
60 km/h
> after switching off the ignition.
1 Display for target speed 2 HDC display
Malfunction The HDC display disappears during HDC oper- ation, or does not appear: HDC is temporarily unavailable due to exces- sive brake temperature, or DSC has failed.
Drive-off assistant The drive-off assistant enables you to drive off smoothly on uphill gradients. It is not necessary to use the parking brake for this. 1. Hold the car in place by depressing the
brake.
2. Release the brake and drive off without
delay.
The drive-off assistant holds the car in place for approx. 2 seconds after the
brake is released. Depending on vehicle load, the car may roll backwards a little during this time span. Drive off without delay after releas- ing the brake. Otherwise, the drive-off assistant will no longer hold the car in place after approx. 2 seconds and the car will start to roll back- wards.<
89
Flat Tire Monitor FTM*
The concept The Flat Tire Monitor monitors tire pressures while the car is being driven. The system reports any significant loss of pressure in one tire in relation to another. If a tire loses pressure, its rolling radius changes, and this in turn alters the speed of rotation. This change is detected and is reported as a flat tire.
Functional requirement In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat tire, the system must be initialized for the cor- rect tire inflation pressure.
The system must be reinitialized each time a tire inflation pressure has been cor-
rected or a wheel or tire has been changed.<
System limitations
The Flat Tire Monitor is unable to warn the driver of sudden, severe tire damage
caused by external factors, nor can it identify the gradual loss of pressure that will inevitably occur in all four tires over a lengthy period of time.< In the following situations, the system could be delayed or malfunction: > System has not been initialized > Driving on snowy or slippery road surface > Performance-oriented style of driving: slip in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration
> Snow chains are attached
Initializing the system
The initialization is completed during driv- ing, which can be interrupted at any time. When driving resumes, the initialization is con- tinued automatically. Do not initialize the system while snow chains are attached.< iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16.

Indication of a flat tire
The warning lamps come on in yellow and red. A message appears on the Control Display. In addition, an acoustic signal sounds. There is a flat
tire or substantial loss of tire pressure. 1. Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph
or 80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h.
If the car is not equipped with Run- Flat Tires, refer to page 212, the stan- dard equipment by design, do not continue driving. Otherwise a severe accident could result after a tire puncture if you continue driving.<
2. At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.
3.
If all four tires are inflated to the cor- rect pressures, the Flat Tire Monitor might not have been initialized. The system must then be initialized.< In the event of complete tire pressure loss, 0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible distance for continued driving on the basis of the following guidelines: > With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage: approx. 155 miles/250 km
> With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo bay full, or 4 persons without luggage: approx. 90 miles/150 km
> With a full load or when towing a trailer:
4 or more persons, cargo bay full: approx. 30 miles/50 km Drive cautiously and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph or 80 km/h. In the event of pressure loss, vehicle handling changes. This includes reduced tracking stability in braking, extended braking distance and altered natural steering characteristics. If unusual vibration or loud noises occur during the journey, this may be an indication that the damaged tire has finally failed. Reduce your speed and pull over as soon as possible at a
