Overview
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Information for your safety
Not even ABS can suspend the laws
of physics. The consequences of brake
applications with inadequate clear-
ances for safety between vehicles,
excessive speed or if aquaplaning
occurs are always the responsibility of
the driver. You should never allow the
added safety of ABS to mislead you into
taking risks of any kind.
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 comes
on, refer to page
19 . The brake
system will then function the
same 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 opportunity.
Cornering Brake Control (CBC)
CBC is an advanced ABS engineering
design. Vehicle stability is also en-
hanced when braking during cornering
at high lateral acceleration, or when
braking during a lane changing.
