77 Technology for safety and driving convenience Park Distance Control (PDC)* The concept PDC provides extra safety and conve- nience during parking maneuvers. Acoustic signals alert you to the momentary distance to an object behind your vehicle. The system fea- tures four ultrasonic sensors mounted in your rear bumper.
78 Automatic Stability Control plus Traction (ASC+T)* The concept ASC+T optimizes vehicle stability and traction, especially when just starting off, when accelerating or when going through curves. ASC+T is ready each time you start the engine. ASC+T incorporates the Automatic Dif- ferential Brake (ADB) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC) functions.
79 Deactivating the ASC+T and ADB Press the ASC button for at least 3 sec- onds; the indicator lamps and the yel- low brake warning lamp come on and stay on. The systems for enhancing stability and traction are deactivated, and there is no active braking intervention or torque control.
80 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)* The concept DSC maintains vehicle stability, even in critical driving situations. The DSC is operational every time you start the engine. DSC incorporates the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC) functions.
81 Under these special circumstances traction is increased by deactivating the control systems that enhance traction under normal conditions. Deactivating the DSC and the DTC Press the DSC button down for at least 3 seconds; the indicator lamp and the yellow brake warning lamp will remain on continuously.
82 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) – BMW 325xi, 330xi The concept DSC maintains vehicle stability, even in critical driving situations. The DSC is operational every time you start the engine. DSC includes the Automatic Differential Brake (ADB-X) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC) functions.
83 Reactivating the DSC press the button again; the indicator lamp goes out. The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with DSC. An appropriate driving style always remains the responsibility of the driver. We therefore urge you to avoid using the additional safety margin of the sys- tem as an excuse for taking risks.
84 Hill Descent Control (HDC)* The concept By reducing the vehicle's speed on steep downhill stretches, HDC main- tains predictable vehicle handling response to provide you with control of your BMW during extreme descents. The vehicle slows to a pace just slightly faster than walking speed.
85 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)* The concept TPM monitors the tire pressures at all four tires even while the vehicle is mov- ing. The system provides an alert when- ever the inflation pressure drops signifi- cantly below the specified pressure in one or more tires.
86 If this occurs, reduce vehicle speed immediately and stop the vehicle in a safe location. Avoid hard brake applica- tions. Do not oversteer. Replace the defective tire, refer to page 141 . The space-saver spare tire is pro- vided for temporary use only in the case of a tire failure.
87 Initializing the system Initializing is necessary to familiarize the system with the correct inflation pres- sure. Repeat this process after any changes in tire inflation pressure, tire rotation or replacement.
88 Flat tire The red warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up to warn of pressure loss and tire failure. This visual alert is accompanied by an acoustic warning signal. Reduce your speed immediately, and steer and brake gently as you bring the vehicle to a stop.
89 Lamps Parking lamps/Low beams Parking lamps The front, rear and side vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the parking lamps to signal the position of the vehicle when it is parked. For lighting on one side for parking as an additional feature, refer to page 90 .

114 Special operating instructions Break-in procedures To ensure that your vehicle continues to provide maximum economy throughout an extended service life, we request that you devote careful attention to the following instructions.
115 Driving notes Brakes: do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light but consistent pedal pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure. Hydroplaning: when driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce vehicle speed.
116 Brake system Brake fluid level If the brake fluid level is too low and brake pedal travel has become longer, there may be a defect in one of the brake system's hydraulic circuits. Proceed to the nearest BMW cen- ter. It may be necessary to apply higher levels of pressure to the pedal when stopping and braking distances may also be longer.
117 Wheels and tires Tire inflation pressure Information for your safety The factory-approved tires are matched to your vehicle and have been selected to provide optimum safety and driving comfort when used properly.
118 ceed carefully to the nearest BMW cen- ter or professional tire center, or have the vehicle towed in to have it, its wheels or its tires inspected. Tire damage up to and including sud- den and complete air loss can endan- ger the lives of both the vehicle occu- pants and other road users.
119 tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
120 Wheel and tire combinations The right choice BMW recommends using only wheels and tires that have been approved by BMW for use on your par- ticular model.
121 Tire condition, tire pressure At tread depths below approx. 3/16 in / 4 mm, winter tires display a perceptible decrease in their ability to cope with winter driving conditions, and should be replaced in the interest of safety.
