The automatic transmission of your
BMW is equipped with Adaptive Trans-
mission Control (ATC), a system which
reacts with precision to your individual
driving style and vehicle operating
conditions. ATC operates by automati-
cally selecting from among a range of
available control programs.

Range selection
A detent prevents inadvertent shifts into
some selector lever positions. To disen-
gage the detent, press the button on
the front of the shift knob (arrow).
While the vehicle is stationary and
before shifting out of "Park" or
"Neutral," depress the footbrake in
order to disengage the selector lever's
lock mechanism (Shiftlock).
Hold the footbrake down until starting
off. Otherwise the vehicle will "creep"
when a drive position is engaged.<
