Malfunction

Brake fluid

The warning lamp lights up red despite
the handbrake being released. Stop
immediately.

The brake fluid in the reservoir has fallen to
below the minimum level. At the same time, a
considerably longer brake pedal travel may be
noticeable. Have the system checked immedi-
ately.

During continued driving, increased brake
pedal travel may be necessary, and con-

siderably longer braking distances may result.
Please adapt your driving style accordingly.

function on Canadian models.

Brake pads

The warning lamp lights up.
The brake pads have reached their min-
imum pad thickness. Have brake pads

replaced immediately.

For your own safety, use only brake pads
that BMW has approved for your particu-

lar vehicle model. As BMW cannot assess the
suitability of other brake pads for use in your
vehicle, we are unable to assume continued
responsibility for the vehicle's operating safety
if non-approved pads are installed.
