You can use the accelerator or brakes to vary this automatically controlled speed within a range extending from approx. 4mph/6km/h to 15mph/25km/h. You can specify a target speed within the same range by using the lever of the cruise control. With downhill grade over 10Ξ you can reduce the speed to approx. 3mph/4km/h. Pull the lever of the cruise control beyond the resis- tance point, arrow3. Press the BC button in the turn signal lever, refer to page73, until the display appears. Technology for comfort, convenience and safetyThe current distribution of drive forces is indi- cated by arrows pointing to all four wheels. The highlighted arrows show the drive forces currently present. The longer an arrow is, the greater the drive forces in the associated wheel. The transparent arrows indicate the maximum value the drive forces over the last 10 seconds. 1 Increasing speed 2 Pull to the resistance point: Reduce speed to approx. 4mph/6km/h 90 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 602 756 - © 06/09 BMW AG
