Have any faults rectified either by the
nearest BMW Service or by a workshop
that operates to BMW specifications and has
suitably trained personnel. If the parking brake
has been released manually due to a fault, it can
only be restored to operation by expert person-

If it has been released manually, the
actual status of the parking brake may not
tally with the status shown by the indicator

Restoring to use after a power failure
Only if the parking brake has been
released manually following a power fail-
ure may its use subsequently be resumed. The

assured and there is the risk that the car will
start to roll away even if the parking brake is
applied.
