5. Return the tools to their places
6. Return the spare tire cover and the floor
mat to their original locations.
Have any defects repaired at the
nearest BMW center. The technicians
can also return the parking brake to normal
operational status after it has been
released manually in response to malfunc-
tion.
<
Following manual release, the actual
status of the parking brake may vary
from that displayed by the indicator lamp.
<
Operation after interruptions in
power supply
The parking brake may only be used
again, if it is released manually after
an interruption in power supply, i. e. as a
result of a discharged or disconnected
battery. If this is not done, the parking
brake may fail to operate correctly. Even
with the parking brake engaged, there
would be a danger of the vehicle rolling on
steep hills.
<
Once the electrical power supply has been
restored you can again use the parking
brake:
With the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary, tap the
button three times at intervals
of approx. 5 seconds. This
initializes the system as follows:
>
Initializing the disengaged setting
>
Engage – the system registers the new
status and the brake setting is initialized.
The indicator lamp
in the Info Display
appears in red
>
Release – the parking brake is ready for
operation. The indicator lamp in the
Info Display goes out.
