Tire Pressure Monitor TPM* The concept The tire inflation pressure is measured in the four mounted tires. The system notifies you if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires. Functional requirements The system must have been reset when the in‐ flation pressure was correct; otherwise, reliable signaling of a flat tire is not ensured. Always use wheels with TPM electronics to ensure that the system will operate properly. Reset the system after each correction of the tire inflation pres‐ sure and after every tire or wheel change. System limits
Sudden tire damage Sudden serious tire damage caused by external influences cannot be indicated in ad‐ vance.◀ The system does not operate correctly if it has not been reset. For example, a flat tire may be indicated despite correct tire inflation pres‐ sures. The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat tire: ▷ For a mounted wheel without TPM electron‐
ics.
▷ When the TPM is disturbed by other sys‐ tems or devices with the same radio fre‐ quency.

For Canadian models: additional information The status display additionally shows the cur‐ rent tire inflation pressures and tire tempera‐ tures. When correcting the tire inflation pressures, note the following: The tire pressure increases as the tire temper‐ ature increases. Therefore, only correct the tire inflation pres‐ sure when the tire is at the ambient temperature. Compare the displayed tire temperature with the external temperature in the instrument clus‐ ter. Resetting the system Reset the system after each correction of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. 1. "Vehicle Info" 2. "Vehicle status" 3. 4. Start the engine - do not drive away. 5. Reset the tire pressure using "Reset". 6. Drive away. The tires are shown in gray and "Resetting TPM..." is displayed. After driving for a few minutes, the set tire infla‐ tion pressures are applied as set values. The re‐ setting process is completed automatically dur‐ ing driving. The tires are shown in green and "TPM active" is shown on the Control Display. The trip can be interrupted at any time. If you drive away again, the process resumes auto‐ matically. If a flat tire is detected during a reset, all tires are displayed in yellow. Low tire pressure message
"Reset"
The yellow warning lamp lights up. A Check Control message is displayed. ▷ There is a flat tire or a major loss in
tire inflation pressure.
▷ The system was not reset after a wheel
change and thus warns based on the infla‐ tion pressures initialized last.
1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers.
2. Check whether the vehicle is fitted with reg‐
ular tires* or run-flat tires*. Run-flat tires, refer to page 252, are labeled with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC marked on the tire sidewall.
When a low inflation pressure is indicated, DSC Dynamic Stability Control is switched on if nec‐ essary. Actions in the event of a flat tire Normal tires* 1.
Identify the damaged tire. Do this by checking the air pressure in all four tires. If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system. If an identification is not possible, please contact the service center.
2. Rectify the flat tire.
Use of tire sealant, e.g., the Mobility System, may damage the TPM wheel electronics. In this case, have the electronics checked at the next opportunity and have them re‐ placed if necessary.
Run-flat tires* You can continue driving with a damaged tire at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h.
Do not continue driving without run-flat tires
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is not equipped with run-flat tires; continued driving may result in serious accidents.◀

Continued driving with a flat tire If continuing to drive with a damaged tire: 1. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐
vers.
2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. 3. Check the air pressure in all four tires at the
next opportunity. If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system.
Possible driving distance with complete loss of tire inflation pressure: The possible driving distance after a loss of tire inflation pressure depends on the cargo load and the driving style and conditions. For a vehicle containing an average load, the possible driving distance is approx. 50 miles/ 80 km. When the vehicle is driven with a damaged tire, its handling characteristics change, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance, and altered self-steering properties. Adjust your driving style accord‐ ingly. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driv‐ ing over obstacles, e.g., curbs, potholes, etc. Because the possible driving distance depends on how the vehicle is used during the trip, the actual distance may be smaller or greater de‐ pending on the driving speed, road conditions, external temperature, cargo load, etc. Continued driving with a flat tire Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance and altered self-steering prop‐ erties.◀
Final tire failure Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could
come loose and cause an accident. Do not con‐ tinue driving, and contact your service center.◀
Message when the system was not reset A Check Control message is displayed. The system detected a wheel change but was not reset. Warnings regarding the current tire inflation pressure are not reliable. Check the tire inflation pressure and reset the system. Malfunction
The yellow warning lamp flashes and then lights up continuously. A Check Control message is displayed. No flat
tire can be detected. Display in the following situations: ▷ A wheel without TPM electronics is fitted: have the service center check it if necessary.
▷ Malfunction: have the system checked by
your service center.
▷ TPM could not be fully reset. Reset the sys‐
tem again.
▷ Disturbance by systems or devices with the same radio frequency: after leaving the area of the disturbance, the system automatically becomes active again.
Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Each tire, including the spare (if provided) should be checked monthly when cold and in‐ flated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la‐ bel, you should determine the proper tire infla‐ tion pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that il‐ luminates a low tire pressure telltale when one
90
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 606 469 - 03 11 490
or more of your tires is significantly under-in‐ flated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a sub‐ stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating prop‐ erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is com‐ bined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then re‐ main continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the mal‐ function indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the re‐ placement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Lane departure warning* The concept This system issues a warning at speeds above approx. 40 mph/65 km/h if the vehicle is about to leave the lane on roads with lane markings. The steering wheel begins vibrating gently. The system does not provide a warning if the turn signal is set before leaving the lane.

Driving stability control systems Antilock Brake System ABS ABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak‐ ing. The vehicle remains steerable even during full brake applications, thus increasing active safety. ABS is operational every time you start the en‐ gine.
Driving off without delay After releasing the foot brake, start driving without delay, since the drive-off assistant will not hold the vehicle in place for more than ap‐ prox. 2 seconds and the vehicle will begin rolling back.◀
Brake assistant When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically produces the maximum braking force boost. It thus helps to achieve the shortest possible braking distance during full braking. This system utilizes all of the benefits provided by ABS. Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal for the duration of the full braking.
Adaptive brake assistant In combination with the Active Cruise Control, this system ensures that the brakes respond even more rapidly when braking in critical situa‐ tions. Refer also to Collision warning, refer to page 108.
Drive-off assistant This system supports driving away on gradients. The parking brake is not required. 1. Hold the vehicle in place with the foot brake. 2. Release the foot brake and drive away with‐
out delay.
After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is held in place for approx. 2 seconds. Depending on the vehicle load, the vehicle may roll back slightly.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control The concept DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels when driving away and accelerating. DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle condi‐ tions, such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Subject to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing engine speed and by applying brakes at individual wheels. Adjust your driving style to the situation An appropriate driving style is always the
responsibility of the driver. The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with DSC. Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety margin by driving in a risky manner.◀
Indicator/warning lamps
The indicator lamp flashes: DSC con‐ trols the drive forces and brake forces. The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has
failed.
Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is re‐ duced during acceleration and when driving in bends. Stabilizing interventions by the Integral Active Steering* system are only performed by the rear axle steering.

DTC Dynamic Traction Control The concept The DTC system is a version of the DSC in which forward momentum is optimized. The system ensures maximum forward momen‐ tum on special road conditions, e.g., unplowed snowy roads, but driving stability is limited. It is therefore necessary to drive with appropri‐ ate caution. You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC un‐ der the following special circumstances: ▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
▷ When rocking the vehicle or driving off in
deep snow or on loose surfaces. ▷ When driving with snow chains.

xDrive* xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your ve‐ hicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC further optimize traction and driving dynamics. The xDrive all-wheel-drive system variably dis‐ tributes the drive forces to the front and rear axles as demanded by the driving situation and road surface.
HDC Hill Descent Control* The concept HDC is a downhill driving assistant that auto‐ matically controls vehicle speed on steep down‐ hill gradients. Without requiring brake applica‐ tion, the vehicle moves at slightly more than twice walking speed.
96
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 606 469 - 03 11 490
You can activate the Hill Descent Control at speeds below approx. 22 mph/35 km/h. When driving downhill, the vehicle reduces its speed to approx. twice walking speed and then keeps its speed constant. While you are actively braking, the system is on standby. The system does not brake the vehicle during this time. Increasing or decreasing vehicle speed You can specify your desired speed in the range from approx. 4 mph/6 km/h to approx. 15 mph/ 25 km/h using the rocker switch of the cruise control on the steering wheel. You can change the vehicle speed by pressing on the accelerator lightly.
▷ Press up the rocker switch to the point of resistance: the speed increases gradually. ▷ Press up the rocker switch past the point of
resistance: the speed increases while the rocker switch is pressed.
▷ Press down the rocker switch to the point of resistance: the speed decreases gradually. ▷ Press down the rocker switch past the point
of resistance: when driving forward, the speed decreases to approx. 6 mph/10 km/h; when reversing, the speed decreases to ap‐ prox. 4 mph/6 km/h.

Dynamic Drive* The concept Dynamic Drive reduces the lateral inclination of the vehicle that occurs during rapid driving in curves or during quick evasive maneuvers. Driving stability and driving comfort are in‐ creased under all driving conditions. The system utilizes active stabilizer bars on the front and rear axles that react immediately to all driving situa‐ tions. Programs The system offers two different programs. The programs can be selected via Dynamic Driv‐ ing Control, refer to page 99. SPORT Sporty tuning for greater driving agility. NORMAL Comfort-oriented tuning for optimal comfort.
Dynamic Damping Control* The concept This system reduces undesirable vehicle mo‐ tion when using a dynamic driving style or trav‐ eling on uneven road surfaces. The system enhances driving dynamics and comfort as required for the road surface and driving style. Programs The system offers three different programs. The programs can be selected via Dynamic Driv‐ ing Control, refer to page 99. SPORT Consistently sporty control of the shock absorb‐ ers for greater driving agility.
NORMAL Balanced tuning between the COMFORT and SPORT programs. COMFORT Comfort-oriented tuning of the shock absorbers for optimal traveling comfort.
Integral Active Steering* The concept Integral Active Steering is a combination of Ac‐ tive Steering and rear axle steering. Active Steering varies the steering angle of the wheels in relation to the steering wheel move‐ ment as a function of the speed. At speeds up to approx. 37 mph/60 km/h, e.g., in curves, the steering angle is increased, i.e., steering becomes more direct. The rear axle steering acts to increase maneu‐ verability by turning the rear wheels slightly in a direction opposite to the front wheels. At higher speeds, the steering angle is increas‐ ingly reduced. The rear wheels are turned to the same angle as the front wheels. In critical situations, Integral Active Steering can specifically steer the front and rear wheels to stabilize the vehicle before the driver intervenes, e.g., when braking where road conditions differ on the left and right sides of the vehicle. Initializing In rare cases, it may become necessary to initi‐ alize the Integral Active Steering.
The warning lamp lights up. A Check Control message is displayed.
1. With the engine running, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and right several times in a uniform manner until the warning lamp disappears.

2. Have the system checked if the warning
lamp does not go out after moving the steer‐ ing wheel approx. 6 times or if the steering wheel is at an angle. Using snow chains Ensure that the rear axle steering is deactivated when using snow chains, refer to page 253. Programs The system offers two different programs. The programs can be selected via Dynamic Driv‐ ing Control, refer to page 99. SPORT Consistently sporty tuning of the Integral Active Steering for greater driving agility. NORMAL Balanced tuning of the Integral Active Steering for optimal traveling comfort. Malfunction In the event of a malfunction, the steering wheel must be turned further, while the vehicle re‐ sponds more sensitively to steering wheel movements in the higher speed range. The stability-enhancing intervention may be de‐ activated. Proceed cautiously and drive defensively. Have the system checked.

Driving comfort Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, ACC* The concept This system can be used to select a desired speed that the vehicle will maintain automati‐ cally on clear roads. To the extent possible, the system automatically adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle ahead of you. The distance that the vehicle maintains to the vehicle ahead of you can be varied. For safety reasons, it depends on the speed. To maintain a certain distance, the system au‐ tomatically decelerates, applies the brakes lightly, or accelerates again if the vehicle ahead begins moving faster. If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, the system is able to detect this within the given system limits. If the vehicle ahead of your drives away again from a halt, your vehicle is able to accelerate if operated accordingly. Even if some time passes before the vehicle drives away again, the BMW can still be accel‐ erated automatically and simply. As soon as the road is clear, it accelerates to the desired speed. The speed is also maintained on downhill gra‐ dients, but may not be maintained on uphill slopes if engine power is insufficient.

System limits Speed range Best results are achieved when using the sys‐ tem on well-developed roads and highways. The desired speed can be selected between 20 mph/30 km/h to 110 mph/180 km/h. The system can also be activated when station‐ ary. Comply with the legal speed limit in every situa‐ tion when using the system. Detection range
The detection capacity of the system and the automatic braking capacity are limited. Two-wheeled vehicles driving ahead of you for instance might not be detected.
Limited detection capacity Because of the limits to the detection ca‐ pacity, you should be alert at all times so that you can intervene actively, if necessary; otherwise, there is the danger of an accident occurring.◀
Deceleration The system does not decelerate when a sta‐ tionary obstacle is located in the same lane, e.g.,
