braking and steering maneuvers. Do

System malfunction

ment cluster lights up yellow.
The Flat Tire Monitor is malfunc-

tioning or out of order. Please refer the
problem to your BMW center.

Brake force display

The brake force display indicates to the
driver of the vehicle behind you how
hard you are braking your vehicle.

The display has two levels:
> Normal braking: the brake lamps

among the rear lamps and the center
brake lamp light up

> Hard braking or use of ABS: the tail

lamps light up with the same bright-
ness as the brake lamps and thereby
intensify the visual effect of the brake
lamps.
