Congratulations, and thank you for choosing a BMW. Thorough familiarity with your vehicle will provide you with enhanced control and security when you drive it. [. . . ] Avoid full brake applications because the vehicle could become unstable and go out of control. 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. 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. 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.

Disc brakes
Disc brakes furnish optimum deceleration and braking control and greater fade resistance under heavy use.

If the ABS fails, you should revert If the brake discs are corroded, they will tend to respond to braking with a pulsating effect which even extended application will fail to cure. For your own safety: use only brake pads that BMW has approved for your specific vehicle model. BMW cannot evaluate nonapproved brake pads to determine if they are suited for use, and therefore cannot ensure the operating safety of the vehicle in the event of their use. < to the staggered braking technique described on page 94. Extended or steep mountain descents should be driven in the gear in which only minimal periodic brake application is required. This avoids excessive strain on the brakes and possible impairment of the braking effect. You can increase the engine's braking effect by selecting progressively lower gears, downshifting into first gear, if necessary.

Data
Do not drive the vehicle with the clutch depressed, with the shift lever in neutral or with the engine shut off. The engine provides no braking control when the transmission is in neutral and there is no power assist for braking and steering when the engine is shut off. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the accelerator, clutch and brake pedals and obstruct their movement. <

Driving notes
Should engine braking prove inadequate, you should still avoid extended, continuous braking. Instead, decelerate the vehicle with increased pressure on the brake pedal (watch for following traffic!), release the pedal and then repeat the brake application (staggered braking). This staggered braking technique allows the brakes to cool in the intervals between active braking phases, preventing overheating and ensuring that full braking capacity remains available at all times.
