Using HDC
With manual transmission:
Use HDC in first gear and in Reverse
since the engine's braking effect is
diminished in the higher gears.
SUSP.INACT appears in the Check
Control: there is a malfunction in the
self-leveling suspension.
With automatic transmission:
You can use HDC in every drive posi-
tion.
Stop and inspect the vehicle. If the rear
of the vehicle is visibly lower than the
front, possibly accompanied by a tilt
noticeable when you compare the left
rear with the right rear, please respond
by immediately proceeding to the near-
est BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center.
Drive with appropriate caution in the
meantime. The vehicle has reduced
ground clearance and driving comfort
may be noticeably reduced.
In case of a malfunction
If the warning lamp in the button goes
out during HDC operation or does not
light up when the HDC is activated:
HDC is temporarily not available as
brake temperature is too high.
Even when the position of the vehicle
is normal, have the system checked as
soon as possible when a malfunction is
indicated.
