BMW 330XI - Manual (Page 78)

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.
Additional information on ASC+T is
found in the "Technology" brochure.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after the ignition has been
switched on; refer to page 20 .
> The indicator lamp flashes: ASC+T is
actively controlling drive torque and
braking intervention
> The indicator lamp stays lit: ASC+T
has been switched off with the but-
ton; ADB is operational. ADB control
intervention is not indicated.
The indicator and the brake
warning lamps will remain on
continuously yellow:
The ASC+T and ADB have been
switched off manually or there is
a system malfunction.
You can still drive the vehicle as normal
without ASC+T.
In the event of a fault, please consult
your BMW center.

Switching off the ASC+T/
activating the ADB
Press the ASC button briefly; the indi-
cator lamp comes on and stays on.

operational.
In the following rare situations, it may
be effective to activate the ADB for a
brief period:

off in deep snow or on loose surfaces
> When driving with snow chains.
To maintain vehicle stability,
always drive with the ASC+T acti-
vated whenever possible. <
