This is indicated by an acoustic signal and the flashing display N in the instrument cluster.
Driving It is also possible to start off in second gear, e.g. in slippery conditions. Using shift paddles on steering wheel In the following situations, SMG does the thinking for you: > Upshifts and downshifts are executed only when they will result in a plausible combination of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example, the system will not execute a downshift that would cause the engine to overrev. > When the vehicle is stationary, the transmission automatically downshifts into first gear.

Maintaining speed, storing speed, and accelerating Press button 4: The vehicle accelerates to and maintains the stored speed.
Driving fares. Especially on longer trips, the system can reduce fatigue and tension, while increasing your enjoyment of driving. Please use it safely and responsibly. In addition to maintaining a steady cruising speed, active cruise control will, within the scope of given possibilities, adjust your vehicle's speed automatically if you encounter slower vehicles ahead, thus allowing you to flow with the traffic without having to make frequent interventions.
Briefly pull the lever repeatedly up to the resistance point or past the resistance point, arrow 2, until the desired speed is displayed. The speed currently being driven is stored and maintained. It is indicated on the speedometer and briefly in the instrument cluster. The controlled speed can drop on uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient. If the engine's braking action is not sufficient on a downhill grade, the system lightly brakes the vehicle.
Driving The selected distance is displayed in the instrument cluster. Distance 1 > when the system does not recognize any objects for a longer time, e.g. on infrequently traveled roads without a shoulder or guard rails, or if the radar sensor is covered with dirt, refer to page 71 > when the speed is reduced to below 20 mph/30 km/h due to a traffic situation Distance 2 Distance 3 This distance is set when the system is used for the first time after starting the engine.
At a glance If the display ACC --- mph/km/h briefly appears in the instrument cluster, it might be that conditions necessary for operation are not currently being met. To call up Check Control messages, refer to page 79.< Radar sensor If the sensor is incorrectly aligned, the active cruise control cannot be activated.
Driving your vehicle when there is a slow-moving vehicle, stopped vehicle or stationary object ahead of you, as for example at a traffic light or when approaching a parked vehicle. Also, the system does not react to oncoming traffic, pedestrians or other types of potential traffic such as a rider on horseback. It is also possible that the system may not detect smaller moving objects such as motorcycles or bicycles.
At a glance Controls Driving tips In approaching a curve, it is possible that active cruise control would react briefly to a vehicle in the adjacent lane. In addition, the system can sense if your vehicle is in a curve and may not accelerate. If your vehicle decelerates in either case, you can choose to overcome the deceleration by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal.

Please note any supplementary information that appears there. Press the button; the DTC indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up.
Technology for comfort, convenience and safety Dynamic Drive* Flat Tire Monitor FTM The concept The concept Dynamic Drive minimizes body roll and optimizes vehicle stability during cornering and evasive maneuvers. The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the inflation pressures in the tires as you drive. The system provides an alert whenever the inflation pressure drops significantly in relation to the pressure in another tire. Dynamic Drive is based on active stabilizers on the front and rear axles.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have been initialized. The system must then be initialized.< 3. In the event of complete tire pressure loss, 0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible distance for continued driving on run-flat tires, based on the following guide values: 5. Start engine, but do not start driving. 6. Select "Set tire pressure" and press the controller. 7. Select "Yes" and press the controller.
Technology for comfort, convenience and safety Active steering* The concept The active steering is a system that actively varies the steering angle of the front wheels in relation to the steering wheel movements. At low speeds, e.g. in a town or when parking, the steering angle of the wheels is increased, i.e. the steering becomes very direct.

Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Breaking-in Clutch Moving parts need time to adjust to one another. To ensure that your vehicle continues to provide optimized economy of operation throughout an extended service life, we request that you devote careful attention to the following section. Engine and differential Always obey all official speed limits.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as the tread depth of the tires decreases, also refer to Minimum tire tread on page 187. Driving through water Do not drive through water on the road if it is deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only at walking speed at the most. Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, electrical systems and transmission may be damaged.< Braking safely Your BMW is equipped with ABS as a standard feature. In situations that require it, it is best to brake with full force.
Things to remember when driving steep downhill stretches. Even light but consistent pedal pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.< The braking action of the engine can be further increased by downshifting in the manual mode of the automatic transmission, possibly as far as first gear, refer to page 63. This prevents an excessive load on the brakes.
> Use the luggage net* or securing straps to hold down small and lightweight luggage and cargo. The permissible load is the total of the weight of occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage can be transported. Stowing cargo > Load heavy cargo as far forward and as low as possible, placing it directly behind the bulkhead behind the rear seats. > Cover sharp edges and corners. Always position and secure the load as described above.
