ASS Question..
This might be a dumb question.. I apologize for that... But I've realized that on my 13' 640i GC the car does not show the ASS sign with a / on the instrument cluster... It only shows the sign when ASS is active... Why is that? How Come on other Bimmers both signs show?

I see the ASS with / sign when I first start the car and then come to a stop. There are certain situations when ASS is disabled by the system, one of which is when the engine is not warm enough (aka cold start). Maybe in Qatar it's warm enough all year around that it doesn't affect ASS? |

I'm speculating but if you look at the pics, on the cars that it shows up, they have a "ready" and "off" position for the rev needle.
On those cars nothing shows up when ASS does turn the engine off. The rev needle just sits at ready. So it could be the different kinds of instruments work a little differently in terms of telling you what the ASS is up to. A person not really paying attention to the instruments might see the ASS pop up and not notice it has a line through it, so BMW might have decided not to show two such similar symbols to prevent confusion. Showing the engine is off because off ASS and will turn on again is more important than showing ASS has decided not to turn the car off... Last edited by diesel20; 01-27-2015 at 04:06 AM.. |
