ABS starting-off test
The ABS warning light is
58
shown in one of the following
three variants depending on
the country:
ABS warning light flashes
once per second.
After starting off, the BMW
Integral ABS checks the ABS
sensors. The ABS warning
light then goes out and the
BMW Integral ABS is active.
Running in
• During the running-in period,
ride in frequently changing
load and engine speed
ranges.
• Choose hilly routes with a
large number of corners, but
avoid motorways where
possible.
Exceeding the running-in
speeds increases engine
wear.
Adhere to the guide values
described below.c
Up to 1,000 km distance
ridden
• Engine speed max.
7,000 rpm.
• No full-load acceleration.
• At full load, avoid low engine
speeds.
• After 500 – 1,200 km be
sure to have the first
inspection carried out.
Brake pads
New brake pads must "bed
down" and therefore do not
achieve their optimum friction
levels during the first 500 km.
The reduction in braking effi-
ciency can be compensated
for by exerting greater pres-
sure on the brake lever.
New brake pads can
considerably lengthen
the braking distance.
Brake carefully and safely.
Avoid braking sharply.c
