Brake system

Brake fluid level

The warning lamp for the brake
comes on with the parking
brake released:

The brake fluid level is too low in the
reservoir (refer to page

If the brake fluid level is too low and
brake pedal travel has become notice-
ably longer, there may be a defect in
one of the brake system's hydraulic
circuits.

Brake warning lamp for Cana-
dian models.

Proceed to the nearest BMW
center. Higher brake application

pressure may be necessary under these
conditions, and brake pedal travel may
be significantly longer. Please
remember to adapt your driving style
accordingly.

Brake linings

The warning lamp for the brake
pads comes on:
The brake pads have reached

their minimum pad thickness. Proceed
to the nearest BMW center as soon as
possible to have the pads replaced.

For your own safety: use only
BMW approved brake pads for

your specific vehicle model. BMW
cannot evaluate non-approved brake
pads to determine if they are suited for
use, and therefore cannot ensure the
operating safety of the vehicle if they
are installed.
