Driving stability control systems
Vehicle Equipment
This chapter describes equipment, systems and functions which are offered or may be of-fered in future on a model-specific basis, even if they are not included in the vehicle in question.
Anti-lock Braking System
Principle
The Anti-lock Braking System prevents the wheels from locking during braking. Steering control is retained even during full braking, which enhances active road safety.
General
The Anti-lock Braking System is ready whenever you switch on the drive-ready state.
Malfunction
The warning light in the instrument cluster is illuminated. A Check Control message is shown.
- The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is not available.
- The ease of steering is restricted in the event of full braking.
Have the vehicle checked immediately by an authorised Service Partner another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
Brake Assist
When the brake pedal is pressed quickly, Brake Assist automatically provides the maximum possible braking force assistance. This keeps the stopping distance as short as possi-ble in full braking situations.
In order to use the full braking force assis-tance, do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal during full braking.
Dynamic Stability Control
Principle
Dynamic Stability Control helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course in critical driving situations. The drive power is reduced depending on the situation and individual wheels can be braked.
General
The system detects the following unstable driving conditions, for example:
- Loss of traction at the rear which can lead to oversteering.
- Loss of grip at the front wheels which can lead to understeering.
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your personal responsibility to assess the traffic situation correctly. Due to system limits, it cannot respond independently and appropriately in all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situation, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene if the situation warrants it.
Overview
Button in the vehicle
Activating/deactivating Dynamic Stability Control
If Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated, driv-ing stability is restricted when accelerating and cornering. To support driving stability, reactivate Dynamic Stability Control as soon as possible.
- Press the button.
- “Switch mode”
- “SPORT”
- “Settings”
- “Driving dynamics”
- “DSC OFF”
When changing to another drive mode, Dynamic Stability Control has activated automati-cally.
“SPORT”: when you switch to this drive mode, the last setting is automatically reactivated.
Displays in the instrument cluster
Display when Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated. The indicator light is illuminated: Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated. Warning light pulsates: Dynamic Stability Control is regulating the driving power and brake forces. The vehicle is being stabilised. Decrease speed and adjust the driving style to the road conditions. The warning light is illuminated: Dynamic Stability Control has failed or is initialising. The driving stabilisation is restricted or has failed. If the warning light is continuously illuminated, have the vehicle checked immediately by an authorised Service Partner or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
Setting for increased driving dynamics
Principle
For a more dynamic driving experience, the vehicle can be adjusted to a setting for increased driving dynamics via My Modes.
General
The Dynamic Stability Control and thereby the driving stability are limited during acceleration and when cornering.
BMW xDrive
Principle
BMW xDrive is the vehicle’s all-wheel drive system. The interaction of BMW xDrive and other suspension control systems, for example, Dynamic Stability Control, further optimises traction and driving dynamics.
General
BMW xDrive distributes the driving power variably to the front and rear axles according to the driving situation and road conditions.
Integral Active Steering
Principle
Integral Active Steering increases the manoeuvrability of the vehicle and makes a more direct steering response possible. Driving stability is also increased at high speeds.
General
The Integral Active Steering is a combination of the variable steering gear ratio of the front axle and the active rear-wheel steering. The rear-wheel steering increases manoeuvrability at low speeds by turning the rear wheels slightly in the opposite direction to the front wheels. At higher speeds, the rear wheels are turned in the same direction as the front wheels. The resulting benefits include smooth lane changes.
In critical driving situations, Integral Active Steering can stabilise the vehicle by automatically steering the rear wheels, for example when oversteering.
Setting
The system offers various settings. With the drive modes of the My Modes, the system can be set to comfortable or dynamic.
Operation with snow chains
In order to guarantee freedom of movement of the wheels when operating with snow chains, rear-wheel steering must be turned off when snow chains are mounted.
Malfunction
The warning light in the instrument cluster is illuminated. A Check Control message is shown. The steering system may be faulty. The Integral Active Steering support may no longer be provided.
- Larger steering movements are required at low speeds.
- The response of the vehicle is more sensitive in higher speed ranges.
- Drive cautiously and think well ahead.
Have the system checked by an authorised Service Partner or another qualified Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
Driver assistance systems
Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes equipment, systems and functions which are offered or may be of-fered in future on a model-specific basis, even if they are not included in the vehicle in question.
Speed limit warning
Principle
The speed limit warning can be used to set a speed limit. A warning will be issued when this speed limit is exceeded.
General
The warning is repeated if the set speed limit is exceeded again after dropping below it by 5 km/h/3 mph.

Speed Limit Display with no-overtaking indicator
Speed Limit Info
Principle
Speed Limit Info shows the currently valid speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if necessary, the Head-up display and possibly supplementary signs.
General
The camera located near the interior mirror detects road signs at the edge of the road as well as variable overhead signs. Depending on the national-market version, road signs with supplementary signs, for example, for wet road conditions, are taken into account and compared with the vehicle’s onboard data, for example, the windscreen wiper signal. The road sign and associated supplementary signs are then displayed in the instrument cluster and the Head-up display, if applicable, or ignored, depending on the situation. Some supplementary signs are taken into account in the speed limit evaluation but are not displayed in the instrument cluster. The system may also show speed limits that apply to routes that are not marked if the navigation system has current map data. In order for Speed Limit Info to function correctly, the current map data must be installed for the country in which the vehicle is operated. For information on the current map version and map update, see Map update in the chapter Navigation system. If a navigation system is not installed, the system has certain technical limitations. Only road signs with speed limits are detected and displayed. Speed limits when driving into built-up areas and due to motorway signs, for example, are not displayed. Speed limits with text-based supplementary signs are always shown. Speed limits for trailer operation are displayed when the trailer socket is occupied or when the trailer operation has been activated via Drive. Depending on the equipment, an approved maximum speed can be set up for trailer operation, which will be taken into account for the display of speed limits.
No-overtaking indicator Principle
Overtaking restriction signs and end-of-restriction signs which have been detected by the camera are indicated by corresponding icons in the instrument cluster and, if applicable, the Head-up display.
General
The system considers overtaking restrictions and ends of restrictions that are indicated by means of road signs.
It will not display anything in the following situations:
- In countries where overtaking restrictions are primarily shown by road markings.
- On routes without road signs.
- In the case of railway crossings, lane mark-ings and other situations which indicate an overtaking restriction but which are not signposted to this effect.
Depending on the equipment, an additional icon with distance information may also be dis-played to indicate the end of the no-overtaking indicator.
Safety information
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per-sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa-tion correctly. Due to system limits, it cannot respond independently and appropriately in all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-dent. Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situation, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene if the situa-tion warrants it.
Sensors
The system is controlled by the camera behind the windscreen.
