2010 BMW 528 Owner's Manual - Page 95

When you are driving in the low speed range, e.g. in a town or when parking, the steering angle increases, i.e., the steering becomes very direct. In the higher speed range, on the other hand, the steering angle is reduced more and more. This improves the handling capability of your BMW over the entire speed range. In critical situations, the system can make targeted corrections to the steering angle provided by the driver and thus stabilize the vehicle before the driver intervenes. This stabilizing intervention is simultaneously deactivated when DSC is switched off, refer to page 85. Deactivation Active steering is deactivated to perform an initialization. A message indicates that the feature is deactivated. Initialization may take several minutes. If the message does not go out during the current trip, have the system checked. Defect A text message appears if there is a defect. Have the system checked. Malfunction The warning lamp lights up yellow and a message is shown on the Control Display. Active steering is malfunctioning or is temporarily deactivated. At low speeds, greater steering wheel movements are required, whereas at higher speeds, the vehicle reacts more sensitively to steering wheel movements. The stability-promoting intervention can also be deactivated. Proceed cautiously and drive defensively. Brake force display On the right: heavy braking.
