[. . . ] The signal tone becomes continuous once the distance to the nearest object falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm. The warning signal is canceled after approx. 3 seconds if you are moving parallel to a wall. EBV Electronic brake-force distribution EBV controls the brake system's application pressure at the rear wheels to ensure stable deceleration. Malfunction The indicator lamp flashes and a short steady signal tone is sounded > if you activate PDC with the button > when you select reverse for the first time after switching on the ignition > if a malfunction occurs while the PDC system is active. Switch the system off and have the cause of the malfunction corrected by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center. DBC Dynamic Brake Control When the brake pedal is depressed rapidly, this system automatically generates a maximal boost of braking force and thus aids in keeping braking distances as short as possible during full braking. This system exploits all of the benefits provided by ABS. 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. Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 158 701 - © 10/04 BMW AG Antilock Brake System Malfunction Please be absolutely sure to follow instructions regarding possible combinations of indicator lights on page 20. DSC Dynamic Stability Control The concept DSC prevents the drive wheels from slipping when starting off and accelerating. DSC also identifies unstable driving conditions, such as a loss of traction at the rear of the vehicle or sliding of the vehicle in its front wheels. Under these circumstances, DSC helps the vehicle maintain a safe course within the physical limits by reducing the engine output and by applying the brakes in the individual wheels. The DSC is operational every time you start the engine. The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with DSC. An appropriate driving style always remains the responsibility of the driver. So please do not further limit the additional safety margin by risky driving. < 95n Indicator lamp Overview Index Data Repairs Maintenance Controls The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out after the engine is started.

In order to limit the brake temperature, brief automatic masking of the brake activation is possible. To maintain vehicle stability, always drive with the system switched on when Switching DSC on possible. < Press the button a second time ­ the indicator lamp goes out.
