Selector Angle Sensor And Shift Travel Sensor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 46 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW M5, 2008 BMW 650i, 2007 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW M6, and 2007 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The main-beam headlights are not switched on if reverse gear is engaged. In a car fitted with sequential manual transmission (SMG), the selector angle sensor and the shift travel sensor supply the "reverse gear engaged" information. The selector angle sensor and the shift travel sensor send the information to the SMG control unit. The SMG control unit sends the information to the light module.
