Automatic Stability Control plus
Traction (ASC+T)
This system is designed to enhance
operating stability, especially while
accelerating and during cornering.
ASC+T automatically assumes opera-
tion each time you start the engine.
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster goes out shortly after you switch
on the ignition.
To deactivate the system
Press the button; the indicator lamp
comes on.
To reactivate the system
Press the button again; the indicator
lamp goes out.
Indicator lamp flashes
The system is actively regulating drive
torque in response to monitored vehicle
operating conditions.
Indicator lamp fails to go out after
the engine is started, or comes on
in the course of normal vehicle
operation
The system has a defect. The vehicle
normally remains operational even with-
out ASC+T. Consult your authorized
BMW Retailer for repair.
When ASC+T is switched off, you drive
with a conventional drive system. We
recommend that you deactivate the
system for increased traction
d when rocking the vehicle or starting
off in deep snow or on loose surfaces
(refer to "Starting off", page 105)
d or when driving with snow chains.
bBut even with ASC+T the laws of
physics can not be suspended. Any
consequences arising from traction loss
due to excessive vehicle speed remain
the responsibility of the driver. We
therefore urge you to avoid using the
additional safety margin of the system
as an excuse for taking risks.c
For more details, please refer to section
"Advanced Technology" on page 156.
