Switch-On Conditions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW 530i, 2006 BMW 525i, 2006 BMW 330xi, 2006 BMW 330i, and 2006 BMW 330Ci. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Preconditions for activation for Active Steering are:

Steering-wheel position and the position of the steered wheels are synchronized as soon as the engine is running. This ensures that the positions of the steering wheel and the road wheels match if, for example, the steering wheel was moved while the vehicle was at a standstill with the ignition switched OFF.

NOTE: The synchronization procedure can cause the steering wheel or the vehicle's front wheels to move. Movements of the steering wheel or the vehicle's front wheels might be perceptible while synchronization is in progress.
Synchronization also occurs while the vehicle is on the move, but the process is extremely slow and virtually imperceptible.
