Technology for comfort, convenience and safety Activating system If one of the malfunctions described below occurs, proceed cautiously and defensively. When driving on poor roads, avoid using the full throttle or kick-down positions of the accelerator as well as heavy and panic braking. Otherwise, the drive train may be damaged or accidents can occur.< The red brake warning lamp lights up together with the warning lamps for ABS and DSC/xDrive. In addition, a warning signal sounds. ABS, DSC, HDC and xDrive have failed. It is then possible to exert driving force only via the rear axle. If the brake warning lamp lights up yellow in the described combination, the EBV Electronic brake-force distribution is still available. Have the system checked as soon as possible. Display of the previously described malfunction on Canadian models. Press the button; the LED lights up. The LED flashes when the brakes are applied automatically. Deactivating system Press the button again; the LED goes out. HDC is deactivated immediately above approx. 35 mph/60 km/h and after approx. 10 seconds when the ignition is switched off. Using HDC With manual transmission: Use HDC in first gear and in reverse, because in the higher gears the engine's braking action diminishes. With automatic transmission: You can use HDC in every drive position. The warning lamp lights up continuously and a warning signal sounds: DSC or the xDrive all-wheel system has failed. The stabilizing interventions of DSC or the allwheel drive system xDrive are no longer available. It is then possible to exert driving force only via the rear axle. Have the system checked as soon as possible. Malfunction If the LED in the button goes out in the HDC mode or fails to light up when the button is pressed: HDC is temporarily not available, because the brake temperature is too high.

Activating system
Press the button; the LED lights up.
The LED flashes when the brakes are applied
automatically.
Deactivating system
Press the button again; the LED goes out.
HDC is deactivated immediately above approx.
35 mph/60 km/h and after approx. 10 seconds
when the ignition is switched off.
Using HDC
With manual transmission:
Use HDC in first gear and in reverse, because in
the higher gears the engine's braking action
diminishes.
With automatic transmission:
You can use HDC in every drive position.
Malfunction
If the LED in the button goes out in the HDC
mode or fails to light up when the button is
pressed:
HDC is temporarily not available, because the
brake temperature is too high.
Malfunction in vehicle stability control
systems
The warning lamp lights up yellow. DBC
Dynamic Brake Control is malfunction-
ing. Have the system checked as soon
as possible.

The red brake warning lamp lights up
together with the warning lamps for
ABS and DSC/xDrive. In addition, a
warning signal sounds. ABS, DSC, HDC
and xDrive have failed. It is then possi-

rear axle. If the brake warning lamp
lights up yellow in the described combi-
nation, the EBV Electronic brake-force distribu-
tion is still available. Have the system checked
as soon as possible.
Display of the previously described mal-
function on Canadian models.
The warning lamp lights up continu-
ously and a warning signal sounds:
DSC or the xDrive all-wheel system has
failed.
The stabilizing interventions of DSC or the all-
wheel drive system xDrive are no longer avail-
able. It is then possible to exert driving force
only via the rear axle. Have the system checked
as soon as possible.
Flat Tire Monitor FTM*
The concept
The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the infla-
tion pressures in the four mounted tires as you
drive. The system triggers an alert whenever
the inflation pressure in one tire drops signifi-
cantly in relation to the pressure in another tire.
When a loss of pressure occurs, the rolling
radius changes and with it, the rotational speed
