Technology for comfort, convenience and safety

Active steering*

The concept

The active steering is a system that actively var-

ies the steering angle of the front wheels in rela-

tion to the steering wheel movements.

At low speeds, e.g. in a town or when parking,

the steering angle of the wheels is increased,

i.e. the steering becomes very direct.

In the higher speed range, on the other hand,

the steering angle is reduced more and more.

This improves the handling capability of your

BMW over the entire speed range.

In critical situations, the system can make tar-

geted corrections to the steering angle pro-

vided by the driver and thus stabilize the vehicle

before the driver intervenes. This stability-pro-

moting intervention is deactivated when DSC is

switched off, refer to page 86.

Malfunction

The warning lamp lights up and a mes-

sage appears on the Control Display.

The active steering is no longer operational. At

low speed, larger steering wheel movements

are required, while the vehicle reacts more sen-

sitively to steering wheel movements in the

higher road speed range. The stability-promot-

ing intervention can also be deactivated. Pro-

ceed cautiously and drive defensively. Have the

system checked.
