Overview

Brake system

Brake fluid level

If the brake warning lamp
comes on and the parking brake
has been released:

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

143

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 hydraulic circuits of the brake
system.

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 pads

If the warning lamp for the brake
pads lights up:
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
brake pads that BMW has

approved for your particular 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.
