Active steering
The concept
Active steering varies the turning angle of the front wheels in relation to steering wheel movements. It also varies the steering force required to turn the wheels depending on the speed at which you are driving.
When you are driving in the low speed range, e.g. in a town or when parking, the steering angle is increased, i.e. steering becomes very direct and less effort is required to turn the wheels. In the higher speed range, on the other hand, the steering angle is reduced as the speed increases. This improves the handling 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.
Malfunction The warning lamps come on. 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-enhancing feature may also be deactivated.
Drive cautiously and think well ahead.
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 disappear during the current trip, have the system checked.
Defect
If there is a defect, a corresponding text message appears. Have the system checked.
