If the indicator lamp comes on,
there is a malfunction in the
transmission system.

Bring the vehicle to a stop. Move the
transmission selector lever to P. Set the
parking brake and turn the engine off –
ignition key to position 0.

Wait a few seconds, then start the
engine.

If the indicator lamp goes out after a
few seconds, normal transmission per-
formance has been restored. You may
continue to drive as usual.

If the indicator lamp does not go out,
you can place the selector lever in all
positions. However, the vehicle will now
only operate in 3rd and 4th gear.

If this happens, avoid extreme engine
loads and consult the nearest autho-
rized BMW center.

Never work in the engine com-
partment when a drive gear – for-

ward or reverse – is engaged. If you do
this, the vehicle could move.
