Stopping the engine Handbrake
Turn the ignition key back to 1 or 0.
BMW 520d, 525d, 530d:
When the engine is cold, a fuel-burning
auxiliary heater is used to warm the
car's interior more rapidly. Its exhaust
fumes are discharged under the door
sill on the driver's side.
If the engine is stopped before it has
reached its regular operating tempera-
ture, the auxiliary heater continues to
run for a short time, and therefore
produces exhaust fumes.
Never remove the ignition key
while the car is still moving, as
otherwise the steering lock will engage.
When leaving the car, always remove
the ignition key and lock the ignition
lock.
Manual-gearbox cars:
When parking on a slope, apply the
handbrake, because even engaging
first or reverse gear may not reliably
prevent the car from rolling away.
Automatic transmission cars:
Select position P.

The handbrake is primarily intended for
preventing a stationary vehicle from

In exceptional cases, if the hand-
brake has to be used to slow or
stop the car, do not pull the lever up too
hard. Keep the knob on the lever held in
all the time.
Too violent an application of the hand-
brake could over-brake the rear wheels
and cause the rear of the car to skid.
The brake lights do not come on when
the handbrake is applied.
Manual-gearbox cars:
When parking on a slope, apply the
handbrake, because even engaging
first or reverse gear may not reliably
prevent the car from rolling away.

To prevent corrosion or an imbalance
between the brakes on the right and left
side, apply the handbrake lightly from
time to time when coasting to a stand-
still, for instance at traffic lights,
provided that it is safe to do so.
