Things to remember when driving > After driving through water at low speed, lightly press the brake pedal several times to dry the brakes and to prevent the braking effect from being reduced by wetness. > Depending on the condition of the surface, it may be practical to briefly activate DTC, refer to DTC Dynamic Traction Control on page 89. > If the drive wheels spin on one side, depress the accelerator pedal sufficiently so that the driving stability control systems can distribute the drive forces to the individual wheels. Please note the following points after driving on poor roads to maintain the driving safety of your BMW: > Clean the coarsest dirt from the body. > Clean mud, snow, ice etc. from the wheels and tires and check the tires for damage. 136 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 602 756 - © 06/09 BMW AG
