Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Information for your safety
Not even ABS can suspend the laws
of physics. ABS alone cannot prevent
accidents when the brakes are applied
without an adequate safety interval
between vehicles, if the car is driven
with excessive speed in curves, or if
aquaplaning occurs. Responsibility for
these types of situations remains in the
hands (and at the feet) of the driver. You
should never allow the added safety
of ABS to lull you into a false sense of
security, or mislead you into taking
increased risks that could affect your
own safety and that of others.
Do not make any modifications to
the ABS system. Service proce-
dures on ABS are to be performed by
authorized technicians only.<
In the event of a fault
If the ABS warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up,
refer to page 21. The brake sys-
tem then reverts to conventional
operation as on vehicles without
ABS. However, have the brake
system checked by your BMW center
as soon as possible. To prevent unde-
tected defects and cumulative faults
from adversely affecting the brake sys-
tem, refer any problems to your BMW
center at the earliest opportunity.
