[. . . ] This also applies for driving with snow chains. However, ABS continues to provide enhanced vehicle stability and steering response under these conditions. The system is operative once the vehicle exceeds a speed of approx. Therefore, the wheels could theoretically tend to lock in the final phase of a braking action, but this is insignificant in actual practice. If you are in a situation which requires full braking, you will exploit the full benefits of the ABS system if you apply maximum brake pressure ("panic stop"). Since the vehicle maintains steering responsiveness, you can avoid possible obstacles with a minimum of steering effort, despite the full brake application.

Have the system checked by your BMW center as soon as possible. Warning lamps for Canadian models. Information for your safety Not even ABS can suspend the laws of physics. ABS alone cannot prevent accidents if the brakes are applied without an adequate, safe distance between vehicles or if the speed limit has been exceeded. Nor can it prevent the hazards of aquaplaning. Responsibility for these types of situations remains in the hands (and at the feet) of the driver. You should never allow the added safety of ABS to lull you into a false sense of security, or mislead you into taking increased risks that could affect your own safety and that of others. Do not make any modifications to the ABS system. Service procedures on ABS are to be performed by authorized technicians only. < Antilock Brake System (ABS)/ Cornering Brake Control (CBC) CBC is an advanced engineering feature of the ABS. When braking while cornering at high speed or braking during high lateral acceleration, or when braking during a lane change, vehicle stability is improved and steering response is enhanced.
