Automatic transmission
72n
The automatic transmission of your
BMW is equipped with Adaptive Trans-
mission Control (ATC), a system which
reacts with precision to your individual
driving style and the driving conditions.
To achieve this, different driving pro-
grams are automatically engaged.
For details concerning ATC, please
refer to the chapter describing
"Advanced technology" on page 206.

Selector lever positions
P R N D 4 3 2
The transmission range display varies
according to model (refer to illustra-
tions).
Starting engine
The selector lever must be in "Park" or
"Neutral" before it is possible to start
the engine.
Range selection
A detent prevents inadvertent shifts into
some selector lever positions. To
release the shift-lock mechanism, press
the button on the front of the selector
handle (arrow).
While the vehicle is stationary and
before shifting out of "Park" or
"Neutral," depress the footbrake in
order to disengage the selector lever's
lock mechanism (Shiftlock).
Hold the footbrake down until starting
off. Otherwise the vehicle will "creep"
when a drive position is
engaged.<
