If the telltale light comes on, this

indicates a transmission system

malfunction.

All lever positions can still be selected,

but in the forward positions only certain

gears are actually available when the

car is driven.
Avoid excessive loads, and take the car

to the nearest BMW Service.

Do not work in the engine com-

partment with the selector lever in

a drive position, otherwise the car could

begin to move unexpectedly.

For towing away, tow-starting and

jump-starting, see page 145 onwards.
