ASC+T
The concept
These systems enhance driving stability
and traction, especially when you are
just starting off, accelerating or in
curves.
ASC+T recognizes the danger present
in traction loss and will increase driving
stability and traction by reducing the
engine's output, and if necessary, by
applying the brakes to the rear wheels.
ASC+T is available as soon as the
engine starts up.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after you switch on the ignition.
Refer to pages 21 and 22 .
Indicator lamp flashes:
ASC+T controls the drive and braking
forces.
If the indicator lamp fails to go out after
the engine is started, or if it comes on
during normal driving and stays on:
There is a system malfunction or the
system was deactivated with the
button. Consequently, interventions to
increase driving stability (as described
in the preceding column) are not avail-
able. You can still drive the vehicle
normally without ASC+T.
Please consult your BMW center in the
event of a malfunction. Refer to
pages
21 and 22 .
Deactivating the ASC+T
Press the button; the indicator lamp
comes on and stays on.
The illustration depicts the arrangement
of the buttons if the vehicle is fully
equipped. This may vary, depending on
the equipment actually installed.
In the following exceptional situations,
it may be effective to deactivate the
ASC+T or DSC for a brief period:
>
When rocking the vehicle or starting
off in deep snow or on loose
surfaces.
>
When driving with snow chains.
Refer also to page
127 .
To maintain vehicle stability, drive
with the ASC+T activated when-
ever possible.
