BMW series 5 disables Dynamic Stability Control and ABS
Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2004 23:59:42 +0100 (W. Europe Standard Time)
From: Stefan Lesser [redacted for spam control] Subject: BMW series 5 disables Dynamic Stability Control and ABS (originally posted in comp.risks) After two accidents involving police cars of Berlin, Germany, at first the drivers were blamed and appointed to a security training. But taking into consideration the driver's nearly identical reports, which claimed that the cars on-board drive dynamic control systems had failed, BMW took on and inspected the case. The result was: Yes, after an emergency brake exceeding a certain preset pressure on the pedal, all stability systems are disabled and can only be re-enabled by switching off the ignition for five seconds...
