Malfunction
Brake fluid
If the warning lamp lights up red even
though the handbrake is released and a
message appears on the control dis-
play: stop as soon as possible.
The brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low.
You may simultaneously notice a marked
increase in brake pedal travel. Have the system
checked without delay.
If you continue to drive the car, increased
brake pedal movement may be necessary
and braking distances may be significantly
longer. Modify your driving style
Brake pads
If the warning lamp lights up red even
though the handbrake is released and a
message appears on the control dis-
play: the brake pads have reached the safe limit
for pad wear. Have the brake pads changed
without delay.
In the interests of your own safety, use
only brake pads that BMW has approved
for this particular model type. BMW is unable to
assess the suitability of brake pads it has not
approved and cannot therefore guarantee their
safety.<
