Index Data Technology Repairs Maintenance Controls Overview
The concept
This system helps provide additional
dynamic stability, particularly when
starting off, accelerating and cornering.
ASC+T recognizes the danger present
in traction loss and will increase driving
stability and traction by reducing the
engine's output, and if necessary, by
applying the brakes individually to the
rear wheels.
ASC+T is available as soon as the
engine starts up.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after you switch on the ignition,
refer to page 22.
The indicator lamp flashes:
ASC+T controls the drive and braking
forces.
If the indicator lamp fails to go out after
the engine is started, or if it comes on
during normal driving and stays on:
There is a system malfunction or the
system was switched off with the
button. Consequently, interventions to
increase driving stability (as described
in the preceding column) are not avail-
able. You can still drive the vehicle
normally without ASC+T.
In the event of a malfunction, please
consult your BMW center.
Switch off ASC+T
Press the button (arrow); the indicator
lamp comes on and stays on.
In the following rare situations, it may
be effective to switch off the ASC+T for
a brief period:
> When rocking the vehicle or starting
off in deep snow or on loose surfaces
> When driving with snow chains.
To maintain vehicle stability, drive
with the ASC+T switched on
whenever possible.<
