Dynamic Brake Control (Dbc) - BMW 740i Owner's Manual

d engine braking prove inade-
, you should still avoid extended,
nuous braking. Instead of main-
g low to moderate pressure over
ended period of time, you should
erate the vehicle by applying more
antial force on the pedal (watch
lowing traffic!) and then pausing
e repeating the application. This
ered braking technique allows the
s to cool in the intervals between
braking phases, preventing over-
g and ensuring that full braking
ity remains available at all times.
Do not coast with the transmission
selector lever in neutral. Do not
with the engine shut off. The en-
provides no braking effect when
ansmission is in neutral, and there
power-assist for braking or steer-
hen the engine is shut off.
allow floor mats, carpets or any
objects to protrude into the area
d the accelerator and brake ped-
d obstruct their movement.<

Dynamic Brake Control (DBC)

If you apply the brakes rapidly, this sys-
tem automatically produces the maxi-
mum braking force boost and thus
helps to achieve the shortest possible
braking distance during "panic stops."
All of the benefits of the ABS system
are exploited under these circum-
stances.
Do not reduce the pressure on the
brake pedal for the duration of the
brake application. When the brake
pedal is released, the DBC is deacti-
vated.
In the event of a malfunction, the
warning lamp comes on with a
yellow light. Conventional brak-
ing efficiency is available with-
out limitations.
Have the system checked and
repaired at your BMW center as soon
as possible.
For "Information for your safety"
covering the ABS system, refer to
page 125. This information also gener-
ally applies for DBC.<
