To enter the timeEnter the numbers for hours and
minutes by pressing the button.
Enter the hour first. Each time the
button is pressed, the hour display
increases by one. Pressing and holding
the button starts the rapid advance.
Confirm the time set with the
button. Now enter the minutes when
two zeros appear.
Enter the minutes in the same manner
as the hours.
Press the save button : the time is
started exactly on the second. The
colon stops flashing.To reset the timePress and hold the button for
approx. 3 seconds: enter the hour when
the colon begins to flash.
Enter the numbers by pressing the
button in the same manner as when
entering the time.
Setting the 12-hour or 24-hour
modePress and hold the buttons
simultaneously for approx. 1 second.
Then press the button. Now, the
mode changes from 12 to 24 hours
whenever you press the button.
When you select the 12-hour mode,
AM or PM will appear on the right-hand
side of the display panel.
The last mode selected is adopted
when you press or automatically
stored approx. 5 seconds after the last
setting.
Outside temperatureIf the outside temperature drops to
approx. +37.5 7 (+3 6), a warning
signal sounds (ice warning). The
temperature display appears automati-
cally and flashes for 8 seconds.
The warning is repeated whenever the
temperature has reached at least
+43 7 (+6 6) and then drops to
+37.5 7 (+3 6) again.
The ice warning does not alter the
fact that surface ice can form at
temperatures above +37.5 7 (+3 6),
on bridges or shaded road surfaces, for
instance.< 367us712

ASC+T Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)*Reactivate the ASC+TPress the button again; the indicator
lamp goes out.
The laws of physics cannot be
repealed, even with ASC+T. It will
always be the driver's responsibility to
drive in a manner that matches road
conditions. We therefore urge you to
avoid using the additional safety margin
of the system as an excuse for taking
risks.<
For additional details concerning
ASC+T, please refer to the chapter,
"Advanced technology," page 165.
The conceptDSC maintains vehicle stability, even in
critical driving situations.
The system optimizes vehicle stability
during acceleration and when starting
from a full stop, as well as optimizing
traction. In addition, it recognizes
unstable vehicle conditions, such as
understeering or oversteering, and, as
far as is possible within the laws of
physics, helps keep the vehicle on a
steady course by reducing the engine
speed and brake applications to the
individual wheels.
The DSC is operational every time you
start the engine. DSC includes the
functions of ADB and CBC, refer to
page 102.
The ADB (Automatic Differential
Braking) copies the function of conven-
tional differential and transverse locks
through brake intervention, and
increases traction whenever conditions
merit, e. g. when driving on snow-
covered roads.
If the DSC is deactivated the ADB is in
ready mode.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after you switch on the ignition,
refer to page 22.
The indicator lamp flashes:
DSC controls the drive and braking
forces.
The indicator lamp stays lit:
DSC has been switched off via the
button; ADB is in ready mode.
ADB control intervention is not indi-
cated.
The indicator lamp and the
brake warning lamp remain on:
The DSC, ADB and DBC have
been switched off via the button
or are defective.
The vehicle will remain completely
operational, however without DSC. In
the event of a fault, please see your
BMW center.
