Without any intervention on your part, the car's speed is kept down to about twice walking pace. You can activate HDC at speeds less than approximately 35 km/h (22 mph). On a descent, the car automatically reduces speed from under approx. Activating the system 35 km/h (22 mph) to about twice walking pace approx. 12 km/h (7. 5 mph) Press the HDC button: the green telltale and then maintains this constant speed. You can press the brake pedal or open The telltale light flashes when the car is automatically braked. the throttle to vary the car's speed in a range from approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) to 25 km/h (15. 5 mph). You also have the option of setting a speed in this range using the +/ buttons of the cruise control system. HDC is automatically deactivated when the car accelerates to a speed of approximately 60 km/h (37 mph). Deactivating the system Use HDC in first gear and in reverse, because the engine's braking effect diminishes in higher gears. Cars with automatic transmission: you can use HDC with the selector lever in any drive position. In the event of a fault The telltale light in the button goes out while HDC is active or fails to come on when HDC is activated: HDC temporarily unavailable on account of high brake temperatures. The DSC telltale light comes on as well: Failure in the HDC and DSC system. Visit BMW Service and have the Press the button a second time; the tellsystem repaired. HDC is deactivated automatically when the car's speed increases to approx. 60 km/h (37 mph) or when the ignition is switched off.

The system reports any sudden loss of pressure in one or more tyres. To enable the system to "recognise" the correct tyre pressures, first compare these with the specified values in the table, see page 24, and correct them if necessary. This warning light in the instrument cluster tells you if the tyre pressure departs from the correct value. Initialising the system If tyre pressure sinks significantly after a period (this is perfectly normal in all tyres), the yellow telltale light comes on. This is to remind you that the tyre pressure should be corrected to the specified value again as soon as possible. If you are asked by the system to check tyre pressures shortly after correcting them, the corrected pressure values were not plausible. Please check the tyre pressures again and correct them to the values specified in the tyre pressure table. After this, reactivate the system. < With a burst tyre 1.
