BMW 3: Anti-lock Braking System
ABS
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during braking.
The vehicle maintains its steering power even
during full brake applications, thus increasing active
safety.
ABS is operational every time you start the engine.
Brake assistant

stop. This system utilizes all of the capabilities
provided by the Antilock Brake System
ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the emergency stop.
