Active steeritly* On the left: normal braking. On the right: sharp braking Tii? COIII.C~I Active steering varles the turning angle of the front wheels in relation to steering wheel move- ments. It alsovarles the steering force required to turn the wheels depending on the speed at which you are driving. When you are driving in the low road-speed range, e.g. in a town or when parking, the steer- ing angle increases, i.e. the steerlng becomes verydlrect, and less effort isrequired to turn the wheels. In the higher speed range, on the other hand, the steering angle is reduced more and more. This improves the handl~ngcapability of your BMW over the entire speed range. In critical situations, the system can make tar- geted corrections to the steering angle pro- vided by the driver and thus stabilize theveh~cle before the driver intervenes. This stabilizing
