Winter operation Power steering Level control system*
Skid control
Release the accelerator pedal. Coun-
tersteer carefully and attempt to regain
control of the vehicle.
Parking
Place the selector lever in position P
(Park). Engage the parking brake when
parking on hills and inclined surfaces.
In order to prevent the parking brake
linings from locking in the drum due to
frost or corrosion, dry them by gently
applying the parking brake as the vehi-
cle is coming to a stop. Make sure that
following traffic is not endangered.
The brake lamps do not come
on when the parking brake is
applied.<
If there is a change in steering response
(difficult steering, for example) or, espe-
cially on vehicles with Servotronic
*, if
the steering "drifts" or "floats" at in-
creasing speeds:
Have your BMW center inspect this
system as soon as possible.
Servotronic
If steering becomes lighter as speed
increases:
Malfunction in the electronic control
system. Have your BMW center inspect
this system as soon as possible.
If the power steering fails, in-
creased effort will be required to
steer the vehicle.<
If the message "LEVEL CONTROL IN-
ACTIVE" appears in the Check Control,
there is a malfunction in the level con-
trol system.
Stop and inspect the vehicle. If it is
riding significantly lower in the rear
than in the front, or if it is sitting at an
incline (left rear compared to right rear),
consult the nearest BMW center. Drive
with appropriate caution in the mean-
time. The vehicle has reduced ground
clearance or driving comfort is notice-
ably reduced.
Even if the attitude of the vehicle is nor-
mal, you should consult the nearest
BMW center if the warning lamp indi-
cates a system fault.
