Deactivating DTC

Select "DTC" again and press the controller.
The LED on the Control Display and the DTC
indicator lamp on the Info Display go out.

Dynamic Drive

The concept

Dynamic Drive minimizes body roll and opti-
mizes vehicle stability during cornering and
evasive maneuvers.
Active stabilizers at the front and rear axles form
the basis for Dynamic Drive. Suspension com-
pliance adapts to suit driving conditions, vary-
ing from performance-oriented during corner-
ing to smooth and comfort-oriented when the
vehicle is traveling in a straight line. During vehi-
cle operation, the system continuously runs
through closed-loop control cycles lasting only
fractions of a second.
The system assumes operational status each
time you start the engine.

Malfunction

The warning lamp lights up yellow and
a message is shown on the Info Display.
A malfunction has occurred in the

Dynamic Drive system. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.

If a malfunction occurs, please remember
to adapt your speed accordingly, espe-

cially in curves.
The suspension will be noticeably softer and
the vehicle will display a greater tendency to tilt
during cornering and in crosswinds.
If a Check Control message stating that you
should stop is displayed, stop at a suitable loca-
tion and switch off the engine as soon as possi-
ble. In this case, the oil level in the reservoir may
have dropped below the minimum, possibly
owing to a leak in the hydraulic system.
Do not continue driving, but instead contact
your BMW center.

Self-leveling suspension*

Malfunction

The warning lamp for self-leveling sus-
pension lights up yellow and a message
is shown on the Info Display.

A malfunction has occurred in the level control
system.
Stop driving and check the vehicle:

>

The vehicle is considerably lower at the rear
than at the front, possibly also on one side,
at the rear left compared to the rear right.

>

The ground clearance is reduced or the
driving comfort is noticeably reduced.

>

The position of the vehicle is normal, but a
malfunction is indicated.

Drive to the nearest BMW center or a workshop
that works in accordance with BMW guidelines
and uses appropriately trained personnel. Drive
with appropriate caution in the meantime.

EDC Electronic Damping

Control*

If the influencing variables such as road surface
quality or operating conditions such as steer-
ing, braking etc. change, the damping automat-
ically adjusts to the new conditions.
