Brake system
Brake fluid level
If the warning lamp for the hy-
draulic brake system comes on:
The brake fluid level is too low in
the reservoir (refer to page 130).
If the brake fluid level is too low
and brake pedal travel is notice-
ably longer, there may be a defect in
one of the two hydraulic brake circuits.
Proceed to the nearest BMW cen-
ter. Higher brake application pres-
sure may be necessary under these
conditions, and brake pedal travel may
be significantly longer. Please remem-
ber to adapt your driving style accord-
ingly.<
Brake pads
If the warning lamp for the brake
pads comes on:
The brake pads have reached
their minimum pad thickness. Proceed
to the nearest BMW center as soon as
possible to have the pads replaced.
For your own safety: Use only
brake pads that BMW has ap-
proved for your specific vehicle model.
BMW cannot evaluate non-approved
brake pads to determine if they are
suited for use, and therefore cannot en-
sure the operating safety of the vehicle
in the event of their use.<
