> Do not drive in water that is deeper than 20 in/50 cm. If you must drive through water up to that depth, drive at a walking speed and do not stop. After leaving the water, press on the footbrake gently several times while driving at a low speed. The brake applications will help to dry the brakes, thus preventing a reduction in braking performance caused by the moisture. For cleaning the handbrake, apply the lever slightly at approx. 25 mph/40 km/h and continue to drive for approx. 200 yards/ 200 meters, provided that traffic conditions allow you to do so. Please bear the following points in mind after driving on poor roads, in order to preserve the road safety of your BMW: > Clean the heavy dirt from the body. > Clean mud, snow, ice and other materials from the wheels and tires. Check the tires for damage. 81 Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 012 213 - © 02/06 BMW AG Reference Mobility Driving tips Controls At a glance
