70 Sequential M gearbox with Drivelogic* Indicator lamp The gearbox indicator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out after the engine is started. > If it does not go out, or if it lights up during driving, a malfunction has occurred. The available functions may be limited under certain circumstances. Drive carefully and with the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) activated. Have the system checked by the nearest BMW center > If the indicator lamp flashes while driving, the system is overloaded. Avoid high loads until the indicator lamp goes out again permanently. Tire replacement, snow chains Following a tire or wheel change and after mounting or removing snow chains, the slip recognition of the SMG Drivelogic must become familiar with the changed condition. Reinitialize the system afterwards. 1. Move the selector lever into position N on a straight stretch of road at a speed of over 20 mph / 30 km/h 2. Pull both shift paddles for approx. 2 seconds. If you do not carry out the initialization, the system automatically learns the changed condition gradually during driving. This can become apparent due to brief opening and closing of the clutch. Shift lights To achieve the best possible vehicle acceleration with a sporty driving style in the sequential mode, shift lights in the instrument cluster indicate the optimum shifting point shortly before the maximum engine speed is reached. 1. When the maximum engine speed is approached, yellow indicator fields - shift lights - in the tachometer light up consecutively to indicate the approaching upshift time 2. Shift at the latest when the last indicator field lights up red. Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 158 512 - © 09/04 BMW AG

Indicator lamp
The gearbox indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster goes out
after the engine is started.
>
If it does not go out, or if it lights up
during driving, a malfunction has
occurred. The available functions
may be limited under certain circum-
stances.
Drive carefully and with the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC) activated.
Have the system checked by the
nearest BMW center
>
If the indicator lamp flashes while
driving, the system is overloaded.
Avoid high loads until the indicator
lamp goes out again permanently.
Shift lights
To achieve the best possible vehicle
acceleration with a sporty driving style
in the sequential mode, shift lights in
the instrument cluster indicate the opti-
mum shifting point shortly before the
maximum engine speed is reached.
1. When the maximum engine speed is
approached, yellow indicator fields –
shift lights – in the tachometer light
up consecutively to indicate the
approaching upshift time
2. Shift at the latest when the last indi-
cator field lights up red.
Tire replacement, snow chains
Following a tire or wheel change and
after mounting or removing snow
chains, the slip recognition of the
SMG Drivelogic must become familiar
with the changed condition.
Reinitialize the system afterwards.
1. Move the selector lever into
position N on a straight stretch of
road at a speed of over 20 mph /
30 km/h
2. Pull both shift paddles for approx.
2 seconds.
If you do not carry out the initialization,
the system automatically learns the
changed condition gradually during
driving. This can become apparent due
to brief opening and closing of the
clutch.
