tow bars and trailer couplings, and in
the vicinity of thin or wedge-shaped
objects. Low objects already displayed,
e.g. a curb, can also disappear from the
detection area of the sensors again
before a continuous tone sounds.
Loud sources of sound, inside and out-
side the vehicle, could drown out the

The warning signal is canceled after
approx. 3 seconds if you are moving
parallel to a wall.

EBV controls the brake system's appli-
cation pressure at the rear wheels to
ensure stable deceleration.

system is active.
When the brake pedal is depressed
rapidly, this system automatically gen-
erates a maximal boost of braking force
and thus aids in keeping braking dis-
tances as short as possible during full
braking. This system exploits all of the
benefits provided by ABS.
Keep the sensors clean and free of ice
or snow in order to ensure that they will
continue to operate effectively.
Do not apply high pressure spray to the
sensors for a prolonged period of time.
Keep the spray at least 4 in/10 cm away
from the sensors.
Switch the system off and have the
cause of the malfunction corrected by
your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle cen-
ter.
Do not reduce the pressure on the
brake pedal for the duration of the
brake application. DBC is deactivated
when you release the brake pedal.
