Indicator light
The indicator light on the instru-
ment panel goes out shortly
after the engine has been
started. See page 18.
If the indicator light flashes:
The system is active, and regulates
tractive and braking forces.
If the indicator light does not go out
after starting the engine, or remains on
during a journey:
The system is either defective or has
been switched off at the button
provided. The car can be driven
normally without ASC+T/DSC. Please
visit BMW Service for repair work.
Switching off
Press the button, the indicator light
remains on all the time.
Depending on the car's equipment, the
button is marked either ASC or DSC.
In the following exceptional situations it
may be best to switch off ASC+T/DSC
for a short time:
>
If the car has to be rocked out of a
hollow or a soft surface, or started in
deep snow or on a loose surface
>
If snow chains are fitted.

Switching on again
Press the button again; the indicator
light will go out.
Not even ASC+T/DSC can over-
come the laws of physics. It is
therefore the driver's responsibility to
adopt a suitable driving style in every
situation. Avoid taking any risks on
account of the additional safety
afforded by this system.
