Antilock Brake System (ABS)
122n
Information for your safety
Not even ABS can suspend the laws of
physics. The consequences of brake
applications with an adequate safety
distance between vehicles, if the
vehicle is driven at excessive speeds in
curves, or during aquaplaning remain
the responsibility 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 risks
that could affect your own safety and
that of others.
Do not make any modifications to
the ABS system.
Service procedures 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
system then reverts to conven-
tional operation as on vehicles
without ABS. However, have the
brake system checked by your BMW
center as soon as possible. To prevent
undetected defects and cumulative
faults from adversely affecting the
brake system, refer any problems to
your BMW center at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
