The first chapter is recommended for an initial overview of the vehicle. Updates after going to press Updates to the Owner's Handbook after going to press are found in the appendix of the printed quick reference to the vehicle. Additional sources of information Should you require any further information, please contact your Service centre, who will be pleased to advise you. Information on BMW, for example on technol‐ ogy, on the Internet: www.bmw.com Symbols Indicates precautions that must be followed precisely in order to avoid the possibility of per‐ sonal injury and serious damage to the vehicle. ◄ Marks the end of a specific item of informa‐ tion. "..." Identifies texts on the control display for se‐ lecting functions. ›...‹ Identifies commands for the voice control system. »...« Identifies replies by the voice control sys‐ tem. Refers to measures that can be taken to help protect the environment. Symbol for components and assemblies Recommends that you study the relevant section of this Owner's Handbook in connection with a particular part or assembly. Vehicle Equipment This Owner's Handbook describes all models and all standard, national and special equipment provided in the model series. This Owner's Handbook therefore also describes and illus‐ trates equipment not present in your vehicle, for example due to selected special equipment and national version. That also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems. If certain equipment and models are not descri‐ bed in this Owner's Handbook, refer to the Sup‐ plementary Owner's Handbooks provided. In right-hand drive vehicles, some of the control functions are arranged differently from those shown in the illustrations. Built-date The 'built-date' of your vehicle is indicated un‐ derneath the door post on the driver's door. The ‘built-date’ is defined as ‘the calendar month and the calendar year in which the body shell and the powertrain subassemblies are con‐ joined and the vehicle is driven or moved from the production line’. Status of the Owner's Handbook The high level of safety and quality of vehicles is ensured by continuous enhancement. In rare in‐ 6 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Notes stances, your car may therefore differ from the information supplied here. For Australia/New Zealand When reading this Owner's Handbook, please bear the following in mind: to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards, we pursue a policy of con‐ tinuous, ongoing development. Because modi‐ fications in the design of both vehicles and ac‐ cessories may be introduced at any time, your own vehicle's equipment may vary from that de‐ scribed in this manual. For the same reason, it is also impossible to guarantee that all descrip‐ tions will be completely accurate in all respects. We must therefore request your understanding of the fact that the manufacturer of your vehicle is unable to recognise legal claims based on dis‐ crepancies between the data, illustrations and descriptions in this Owner's Handbook and your own vehicle's equipment. Please note, too, that some of the optional equipment described in this manual is not available on Australian models due to restrictions imposed by Australian De‐ sign Rules and other requirements. Should you require any further information, please contact your Service centre, who will be pleased to advise you. Updates after going to press Updates to the Owner's Handbook after going to press are found in the appendix of the printed quick reference to the vehicle. Your own safety Your vehicle is configured for the operating con‐ ditions and registration requirements of your country. If the vehicle is to be operated in an‐ other country, your vehicle must be adapted to any prevailing different operating conditions and permit requirements. Information on possi‐ ble exclusion of warranty or warranty restrictions for your vehicle can be obtained from your Serv‐ ice centre. Maintenance and repair The advanced technology behind this car, for example the use of modern materials and highperformance electronics, means that adapted methods of maintenance and repair are re‐ quired. Always have the corresponding work performed either by a BMW Service centre or by a work‐ shop that operates to BMW specifications and has suitably trained personnel. If such work is performed inexpertly, it could re‐ sult in consequential damage and thus consti‐ tute a safety risk. Parts and accessories BMW recommends using parts and accessory products that are specifically approved for this purpose by BMW. You are recommended to consult a BMW Serv‐ ice centre for advice on genuine BMW parts and accessories, other BMW approved products and competent advice on all related matters. The safety and compatibility of these products in conjunction with BMW vehicles have been checked by BMW. BMW accepts product liability for them. BMW cannot accept liability for parts or accessory products of any kind which it has not approved. BMW is unable to assess each individual prod‐ uct of outside origin as to its suitability for use on BMW vehicles without safety risk. Nor can suitability be assured if an official permit has been issued for it in a specific country. Tests performed for such permits cannot always cover all operating conditions for BMW vehicles, and some of them therefore are insufficient.

How‐ ever, they can only offer protection when adjus‐ ted correctly. Notes Before driving off, always make sure that all oc‐ cupants have fastened their seat belts. The airbags are a complementary safety feature and not a substitute for the seat belts. ▷ The upper belt anchorage is suitable for adults of any stature as long as the seat is correctly adjusted. Place the seat belt tightly over the pelvis and shoulder as close as possible to the body and make sure that it is positioned low at the hip in the area of the pelvis and is not pressing on your midriff. Otherwise, the seat belt can slip over the hip and injure the midriff in the event of a head-on collision. The seat belt must not pass across the neck. It should not be pulled across sharp edges or routed or fastened over hard or fragile objects.◀ Impairment of the restraining effect Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly pull the seat belt in the upper-body area taut, otherwise its restraining effect could be im‐ paired.◀ Warning Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable. Wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as pos‐ sible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing by polishes, oils and chemicals and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Lights Adaptive Headlights Principle Adaptive Headlights is a variable headlight con‐ trol system that makes it possible to illuminate the road surface responsively. The beams from the headlights follow the road ahead on the basis of the steering angle and other parameters. In sharp turns up to a specified speed, for ex‐ ample in hairpin bends or when cornering, either the fog lights or the cornering light switches on. The lights up the inside of the curves better. Depending on the speed, the variable light dis‐ tribution ensures even better illumination of the roadway. The light distribution is automatically adapted to the speed. The city light is active as of a speed of less than 50 km/h, 30 mph. The motorway light is switched on at a speed higher than 110 km/h, 68 mph after approximately 30 sec‐ onds or as of a speed of 140 km/h, 87 mph. Activating Switch position on. with the ignition switched A cornering light is activated automatically de‐ pending on the steering angle or use of the turn indicators. Controls Headlight beam throw adjustment With halogen headlights adjust the beam throw of the low-beam headlights manually in accord‐ ance with the vehicle load. Otherwise, the glare will disturb drivers of oncoming vehicles. Values applicable when towing a trailer: 0 / 1 = 1 to 2 persons without luggage. 1 / 1 = 5 persons without luggage. 1 / 2 = 5 persons with luggage. 2 / 2 = 1 person, boot fully loaded. High-beam assistance Principle When low-beam headlights are switched on, this system automatically switches the highbeam headlights on and off or fades out the areas which dazzle oncoming vehicles. This process is controlled by a sensor on the front of the interior mirror. The assistant ensures that the high-beam headlights are switched on whenever the traffic situation allows. You can also control the lights yourself at any time and switch them on and off as usual. Activating So as not to dazzle oncoming vehicles, the adap‐ tive cornering light does not swivel to the driver's side when stationary. When reversing, only the cornering light is active and illuminates the zone on the outside of the bend. Malfunction A Check Control message is displayed. Adaptive Headlights are faulty or have failed. Have the system checked as soon as possible. The high beam assistance can be activated with the low-beam headlights switched on. 1. Turn the light switch to position or . 2. Press the button on the turn indicator lever, arrow. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 85 Controls Lights The indicator light in the instrument cluster is illuminated. When the low-beam headlights are on, the beam is dipped and returned to full beam automati‐ cally. The system responds to light from oncoming traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to ad‐ equate illumination, for example in built-up areas. The blue indicator light in the instrument cluster illuminates if the high beam is switched on by the system. Depending on the version of the system installed in the ve‐ hicle, it may be that the high beam is not switched off for oncoming vehicles, but only the areas which dazzle the oncoming vehicles are faded out. In this case, the blue indicator light continues to illuminate. Raising and dipping manually System limits Personal responsibility The high-beam assistance cannot replace the personal decision to use the high beam. In such situations you should dip the headlights manually in order not to create a safety hazard.◀ In the following situations, the system will not operate or its operation will be impaired and your intervention may be required: ▷ During extremely unfavourable weather conditions such as fog or heavy precipita‐ tion. ▷ When detecting poorly-lit road users such as pedestrians, cyclists or horseback riders or carts, and when trains or ships are close to the road, or when game are passing across the road. ▷ On narrow bends, steep uphill or downhill gradients, at traffic junctions or if your view of oncoming vehicles on a motorway is ob‐ structed. ▷ In poorly-lit towns and where there are very reflective signs. ▷ At low road speeds. ▷ When the windscreen in front of the interior mirror is covered with condensation, dirt, stickers, labels, etc. ▷ High-beam headlights on, arrow 1.

Otherwise they could be injured should the airbags deploy. ▷ Do not dismantle the airbag system. ▷ Do not dismantle the steering wheel. ▷ Never attach any material to the airbag cov‐ ers with adhesive; never place material over them or modify them in any way. ▷ Do not modify individual components of the system or its wiring in any way. This includes the covers on the steering wheel, instrument cluster, seats and roof posts as well as the sides of the roof lining.◀ Even if all these instructions are complied with, depending on the circumstances in which an Controls accident occurs, certain injuries as a result of contact with the airbag cannot be entirely ruled out. The noise caused by the deployment of an air‐ bag may lead to brief and generally temporary hearing loss in vehicle occupants sensitive to noise. In the event of faults, taking the airbags out of use and after they have been triggered Avoid touching the system’s components im‐ mediately after it has been triggered, as there is a risk of sustaining burns. Only commission your Service Centre or au‐ thorised workshops with checking, repairing or dismantling and scrapping airbag generators, as your Service Centre or authorised workshops have the required legal permits for handling ex‐ plosives. Any careless or unskilled interference with the system could lead to its failure or to accidental triggering with the risk of injury.◀ Functional readiness of the airbag system When the ignition is switched on, the warning light in the instrument cluster briefly illuminates and so shows the functional readiness of the entire airbag system and the belt tensioner.

The system does not measure the tyre pres‐ sures as such. It detects a pressure loss on the basis of a com‐ parison between the speeds at which the indi‐ vidual wheels rotate while the vehicle is in mo‐ tion. If a tyre loses pressure, its diameter changes. This in turn alters the rotational speed of the corresponding wheel. This is detected and re‐ ported as a flat tyre. Operating requirements The system must have been initialised with cor‐ rect tyre inflation pressure, otherwise reliable signalling of a flat tyre cannot be assured. Each time the tyre pressure is adjusted or a tyre or wheel is changed, initialise the system again. 1. "Vehicle information" 2. "Vehicle status" 3. The status is displayed. Initialising On initialisation, the current tyre pressures are stored as a reference for detection of a flat tyre. The initialisation is started by confirming the correct inflation pressures. When driving with snow chains fitted, do not in‐ itialise the system. 1. "Vehicle information" 2. "Vehicle status" 3. System limits "Flat Tyre Monitor" "Confirm tyre pressure" 4. Start the engine – do not drive off. Sudden tyre damage No warning can be given of extreme, sud‐ den tyre failure caused by external factors.◀ A natural, even loss of pressure in all four tyres that occurs over time is not detected. Conse‐ quently, check the tyre pressures at regular in‐ tervals. In the following situations, the system could be slow to respond or operate incorrectly: ▷ If the system has not been initialised. ▷ When driving on snow-covered or slippery surfaces. ▷ When driving enthusiastically, causing the driven wheels to spin, high lateral accelera‐ tion. ▷ Driving with snow chains. 5. Start the initialisation with "Initialise tyre pressure". 6. Drive off. Initialising is completed while the vehicle is in motion; this process can be interrupted at any time. Initialising resumes automatically when you continue your journey. Indication of a flat tyre The yellow warning light is illuminated. A Check Control message is displayed. There is a flat tyre or substantial loss of tyre pressure. 1. Reduce your speed and cautiously stop the car. Avoid violent or sudden braking and steering manoeuvres. 2. Check whether the vehicle is equipped with standard tyres or run-flat tyres. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 93 Controls Security The symbol identifying run-flat tyres, see page 241, is the circle with the letters RSC on the tyre sidewall. Do not continue a journey without run-flat tyres Do not continue your journey if the vehicle is not equipped with run-flat tyres, otherwise a serious accident could occur.◀ It is possible that Dynamic Stability Control DSC is activated as soon as the message for a punc‐ ture appears. 2. Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph any longer. 3. As soon as you get an opportunity, check the tyre pressure in all four tyres. If all four tyres are inflated to the correct pressures, the runflat indicator might not have been initialised. In this case initialise the system. Maximum possible distance with tyres entirely deflated: What to do in the event of a flat tyre The possible distance with a flat tyre depends on the load and strain on the vehicle during the journey. Standard tyres With a moderate vehicle load, the possible dis‐ tance travelled is approx. 80 km, 50 miles. 1. Identify the damaged tyre. Do this by checking the air pressure in all four tyres. The tyre inflation pressure display of the Mobility System, see page 242, can be used for this. If all four tyres are inflated to the correct pressures, the runflat indicator might not have been initialised. In this case initialise the system. If it is not possible to identify, contact a Serv‐ ice centre. 2. The tyre inflation pressure display of the Mobility System, see page 242, can be used for this. When driving with damaged tyres, the vehicle handling changes, for example quicker loss of traction when braking, longer stopping distance and modified self-steering behaviour. Adapt driving style accordingly. Avoid abrupt steering or driving over obstacles, for example curbs, potholes etc. As the possible distance largely depends on the strain on the vehicle during the journey, this can be shorter, or longer if the vehicle is driven care‐ fully, according to speed, road condition, out‐ side temperature, load etc. Continuing a journey with a flat tyre Drive moderately and do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph. If tyre pressure has fallen, vehicle handling changes, for example reduced directional sta‐ bility when braking, longer stopping distance and modified self-steering behaviour.◀ Run-flat tyres Maximum speed If a tyre has punctured you can continue your journey, driving at speeds up to a maximum of 80 km/h, 50 mph. Continuing a journey with a flat tyre If you continue a journey with a flat tyre: Continuing a journey with a flat tyre and trailer When a trailer is being towed, heavy trailers in particular can start to snake. For this reason, do not exceed 60 km/h, 35 mph, as otherwise there is a danger that accidents might occur.◀ 1. Avoid violent or sudden braking and steering manoeuvres. 94 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Security Final tyre failure Controls Display Vibration or loud noises while driving may be an indication that the tyre has finally failed. Reduce your speed and stop, otherwise sec‐ tions of the tyre could become detached and cause an accident. Do not drive the car any fur‐ ther; contact your Service Centre instead.◀ Lane departure warning ▷ Lines, arrow 1: the system is activated. Principle This system warns if the vehicle leaves the lane, when the vehicle is on roads with lane markings and travelling above a given speed. Depending on the equipment for your country, this speed is between 55 km/h, approximately 35 mph and 70 km/h, approximately 45 mph. When this sys‐ tem is switched on below this speed, a message is displayed in the instrument cluster. ▷ Arrows, arrow 2: at least one lane boundary line has been detected and warnings can be issued. Output of the warning If the vehicle leaves the driving lane and a lane boundary line is detected, the steering wheel starts to vibrate. When there are warnings, the steering wheel starts to vibrate slightly. The time of this warning may vary depending on the current driving sit‐ uation. If the turn indicator is set before changing lanes, no warning is issued. The system does not issue a warning if the driver indicates before leaving the driving lane. The warning is cancelled: Switching on/off Cancellation of the warning ▷ Automatically after approximately three seconds. ▷ On returning to the correct lane. ▷ With strong braking. ▷ On indicating.

Measurement Ultrasonic sensors in each bumper measure the distance. The range is approximately 2 m, 6 ft. An acoustic warning is only issued: ▷ From the front sensors and the two rear cor‐ ner sensors at approximately 60 cm, 24 in. ▷ For the centre rear sensors at approximately 1.50 m, 5 ft. Controls Low objects already indicated, such as kerbs, may enter the sensors' blind areas before or af‐ ter a continuous audible signal is given. Higher, protruding objects such as ledges may not be detectable. False alarms Under the following conditions, PDC can issue a warning although there is no obstacle in the detection range: ▷ In heavy rain. ▷ If the sensors are very dirty or covered with ice. ▷ If the sensors are covered with snow. System limits Also monitor the traffic situation PDC is no substitute for your personal as‐ sessment of the traffic situation. Also monitor the traffic situation around the vehicle by ob‐ serving it directly. Otherwise, there is a danger that accidents might occur due to other road users or objects located outside of detection range of the PDC, for example. Loud sound sources outside or inside the car can drown out the PDC signal.◀ Avoid driving fast with PDC active Avoid approaching an object at speed. ▷ On rough road surfaces. ▷ In large, rectangular buildings with smooth walls, for example underground car parks. ▷ Due to dense exhaust gas. ▷ Due to other ultrasonic sources, for example sweeping machines, steam-jet cleaners or neon lights.

Brake system Brake pads and discs only achieve a favourable wear and contact pattern after approximately 500 km, 300 miles. Drive moderately during this running-in period. Clutch Running in General Moving parts need a certain time to achieve maximum operating efficiency as a unit. The following information helps to achieve max‐ imum service life and efficiency of the vehicle. Engine and final drive Please observe the valid speed limit in the re‐ spective country you are travelling in. Up to 2000 km, 1200 miles Do not exceed the maximum engine revs and speed: ▷ For petrol engines, 4500 rpm and 160 km/h, 100 mph. ▷ For diesel engines, 3500 rpm and 150 km/h, 93 mph. Avoid full throttle and do not use the automatic transmission kick-down. From 2000 km, 1200 miles onwards Engine and road speeds can be gradually in‐ creased. The clutch only begins to function optimally at approx. 500 km, 300 miles. Engage the clutch gently during this running-in period. After fitting new parts The same running-in procedures should be ob‐ served if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.

There is moreover no guar‐ antee that the radiation generated when such devices are transmitting will be dissipated out of the vehicle’s interior.◀ Do not touch hot exhaust tail pipes; otherwise there is a risk of burns.◀ Aquaplaning Diesel particle filter On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can form between the tyres and the road. The diesel particle filter collects soot particles and burns them periodically at high tempera‐ tures. When cleaning for a few minutes, the following may occur: ▷ Engine temporarily runs a bit roughly. ▷ Noise and slight development of smoke from the exhaust shortly after shutting off the engine. ▷ The usual power output development re‐ quires a slightly higher engine speed. Radio signals Warning The vehicle’s performance may be affec‐ ted by interference from high frequency radio signals. Such signals are output from a series of transmission systems, for example, from air traf‐ fic beacons or relay stations for mobile telecom‐ munications. We recommend you consult your Service Cen‐ tre should you experience any difficulties.◀ This situation, known as aquaplaning, means that the tyre can actually lose contact com‐ pletely with the road surface and the car can neither be steered nor the brakes properly ap‐ plied. Aquaplaning On wet or slushy roads, reduce your speed in order to avoid aquaplaning.◀ Wading If the water is calm drive no faster than walking speed, approximately 10 km/h, 6 mph and only up to a maximum water depth of approximately 25 cm, 9.8 inches. Pay attention to the water depth and your speed Do not exceed the water depth and walking speed, as otherwise the engine, electrical sys‐ tem and transmission could be damaged.◀ Safe braking Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as standard. Applying the brakes fully is the most effective way of braking in situations in which this is nec‐ essary. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 133 Driving hints Driving precautions The vehicle can be steered. Any obstacles can be avoided with steering wheel movements that are as calm as possible. A pulsing of the brake pedal and hydraulic reg‐ ulating sounds indicate that ABS is regulating. Objects in the range of movement of the pedals No objects in the range of movement of the pedals Foot mats, carpets or other objects must not breach the range of movement of the pedals, as otherwise they could influence the function of the pedals when driving. Do not place additional foot mats on top of ex‐ isting floor mats or other similar objects. Only use foot mats that have been approved for the vehicle and that can be fastened accord‐ ingly. Ensure that floor mats are securely reattached after having been removed, for example for cleaning.◀ The braking action of the engine can be boosted further by shifting down in the manual mode of the automatic transmission. Avoid excessive braking Avoid excessive loads on the brake. Even slight, continuous pressure on the brake pedal could cause overheating, brake pad wear or even brake system failure.◀ Do not drive with the transmission in neu‐ tral Never drive with the transmission in neutral or with the engine switched off. Otherwise, the braking action of the engine will either not be present, or there will be no power assistance to the brakes or steering.◀ Corrosion of the brake disc Corrosion of the brake discs and contamination of the brake pads increase with: ▷ Low mileage. ▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not used. Wet roads ▷ Infrequent use of the brakes. In damp weather or heavy rain, apply the brakes lightly every few kilometres/miles. Corrosion occurs when the minimum pressure that must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the discs is not reached. In doing so, do not obstruct other road users. The resulting heat dries the brake discs and pads. The braking force will be available immediately if needed. Downhill gradients When driving on long or steep downhill stretches, use the gear in which the least braking is required. Otherwise the brake system can overheat and braking action is reduced. Should corrosion form on the brake discs, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating ef‐ fect that generally cannot be corrected. Condensate when vehicle is parked When using the automatic air conditioning, con‐ densation water develops that exits underneath the vehicle. Traces of water on the ground are therefore nor‐ mal. Manual gearbox: The braking effect can be additionally increased by shifting down, even into first gear, if applica‐ ble.

Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is also described, for example the selected special equipment or national version. That also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems. General Overloading the vehicle So that the permitted load capacity of the tyres is not exceeded, do not overload the vehi‐ cle. The tyres could then overheat and sustain internal damage. Under certain circumstances, sudden tyre pressure loss will be the conse‐ quence.◀ ▷ Do not stack storage goods above the upper edge of the backrests. ▷ Stow heavy transported loads as far forward and as low down as possible, directly behind the rear seat. ▷ Fully fold down the rear-seat backrest if the load is to be stowed accordingly. ▷ Use the luggage net, see page 125, to pro‐ tect the vehicle's occupants. Make sure that objects cannot pass through the luggage net. ▷ Cover angular or sharp objects that could hit the rear window during the journey. Securing the load Lashing eyes in the boot No fluids in the boot Ensure that fluid leakage does not occur in the boot. Otherwise the vehicle could be dam‐ aged.◀ Loading For securing the load two or four lashing eyes are in the boot. Floor net For securing the load and for keeping small parts, the floot net can also be used. ▷ Very heavy transported load: with no pas‐ sengers on the back seat, insert both outer seat belts into the respective opposite buck‐ les. ▷ Wrap protective material round sharp cor‐ ners and edges.

Securing transported loads ▷ Smaller and lighter parts: with tensioning straps, to secure the floor net or other suit‐ able straps. ▷ Relatively large and heavy objects: secure with lashing straps. Fasten tensioning straps of various kinds to the lashing eyes in the boot. Securing transported loads Accommodate and secure the transpor‐ ted load as described above, otherwise it could endanger the vehicle occupants, for example, when braking and swerving. Heavy and hard objects must not be stored un‐ secured in the interior, otherwise these could endanger the vehicle occupants, for example, when braking and swerving. Do not exceed the permitted overall weight and permitted axle loads, otherwise the operational safety of the vehicle can no longer be guaran‐ teed and the permit regulations are not met.◀ The mounting points are located on the roof strip above the doors. Fold the cover outwards. Loads A loaded roof rack alters the car's road behav‐ iour and steering response by shifting its centre of gravity. When loading and driving, bear the following in mind: ▷ Do not exceed permitted roof and axle load as well as the permitted gross weight. ▷ Distribute the roof load evenly. ▷ The roof load must not be spread over a large area. ▷ Place heavy items of luggage at the bottom. ▷ Securely fasten roof rack, e.g. with tension‐ ing straps. ▷ Do not allow objects to protrude into the swing range of the tailgate. ▷ Drive smoothly and avoid sudden accelera‐ tion, braking or cornering. Roof rack Fastening Follow fitting instruction of the roof rack. 136 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Towing a trailer Driving hints Towing a trailer Vehicle Equipment This chapter describes all standard, national and special equipment provided in the model series. Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is also described, for example the selected special equipment or national version. That also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems. tribution Hitch or Load Levelling Device on any BMW Group vehicles. The use of such devices may affect the vehicle’s warranty status. We recommend you consult your Authorised BMW Dealer for any further advice or clarifica‐ tion. Before a journey General Nose weight The permitted trailer load is indicated in the technical data. Information on possibilities to increase the load can be provided by any Service centre. The vehicle is equipped with reinforced springs on the rear axle and, depending on the type, with a more powerful engine cooling system. For Australia/New Zealand Towing Australian standard AS 4177.1-2004 Caravan and light trailer towing components – towbars and towing brackets contains the following statement, which is hereby accepted by the BMW Group Australia: FOR TOWING ONLY. The trailer tow hitch supplied with your BMW vehicle should only be used for towing and not in connection with any kind of transport device attached to the trailer tow hitch, i.e. bicycle car‐ riers or similar. As all BMW Group towbar assemblies are de‐ signed, tested and approved as a single unit, the practice of modifying or replacing the BMW sup‐ plied towball mount assembly is not approved. Use only the genuine BMW towball mount as‐ sembly. BMW Group Australia does not recommend or support the installation and use of a Weight Dis‐ ▷ Minimum nose weight: 25 kg, 55 lb. ▷ Maximum nose weight: 75 kg, approxi‐ mately 165 lb. Where possible, make full use of this weight. The weight of the trailer tow hitch and the nose weight reduce the maximum load of your car. The nose weight increases the vehicle weight. The total permitted weight of the towing vehicle, see Technical data, must not be exceeded as a result. Loads Stow the load as low as possible and as close as possible to the axle. A low centre of trailer gravity makes the vehicle combination much more stable and safe to drive. The permitted total weight of the trailer and the permitted axle load of the vehicle (see Technical data) may not be exceeded. The smaller value is the limit which should be adhered to. Tyre pressures Check the vehicle’s and the trailer’s tyre pres‐ sures carefully. On the vehicle, the tyre inflation pressure, see page 238, for higher loads applies. For the trailer, the regulations of the manufac‐ turer apply. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 137 Driving hints Towing a trailer Runflat indicator Maximum speed when towing a trailer Reinitialise the runflat indicator after a trailer has been attached or detached or the inflation pres‐ sure has been corrected. Exterior mirrors Two exterior mirrors which bring both rear cor‐ ners of the trailer into your field of view are re‐ quired by law. Mirrors of this kind can be ob‐ tained from your Service centre as optional accessories. Power consumption The power output of the trailer’s rear lights must not exceed the following values: ▷ Turn indicators: 42 Watts per side ▷ Rear lights: 60 Watts per side ▷ Brake lights: 84 Watts total ▷ Rear fog lights: 42 Watts total ▷ Reversing lights: 42 Watts total Keep the switch-on times of the current con‐ sumer units in the caravan mode short in order not to place an excessive load on the vehicle battery. Function of the rear lights Before beginning your journey, check the function of the rear lights of the trailer, as other‐ wise this might endanger other road users.◀ Towing a trailer Counteracting snaking If the trailer begins to snake, the vehicle combi‐ nation can only be stabilised by braking hard im‐ mediately. Make sure that the necessary steering correc‐ tions are carried out as cautiously as possible, taking other road users into consideration. Uphill gradients In the interest of safety and to avoid holding up other traffic, do not attempt to climb gradients steeper than 12 % when towing a trailer. If higher trailer loads are permitted later, the limit is 8 %. Downhill gradients On downward inclines, a vehicle combination has tendency to snake at an earlier stage. Before the downward incline, shift down to the next-lowest gear and drive downwards slowly. High loads and high outside temperature Long journeys with a high load and outside temperature Notes Appropriate speed when towing a trailer Keep to an appropriate speed when tow‐ ing a trailer. Speeds in excess of approximately 80 km/h, 50 mph can be enough to produce a swaying or fishtailing motion, depending on the design of the trailer and the load it is carrying.◀ 138 If you are towing a trailer, increase tyre pressures by 0.2 bar all round and do not exceed a top speed of 100 km/h / 60 mph, as the higher axle load could result in damage to the tyres if the car is driven at higher speeds. Note the max‐ imum possible tyre pressures stated on the tyres.◀ On long journeys with a high trailer load and high outside temperature, make sure that the fuel tank is more than 1/4 full, as otherwise the en‐ gine output can decrease or engine damage can occur.◀ Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Towing a trailer Trailer Stability Control Principle The system helps you to neutralise a trailer’s tendency to swing from side to side. Driving hints Trailer tow hitch with removable ball linkage Storage It detects snaking movements and promptly brakes the vehicle so that road speeds fall to below the critical range and the vehicle combi‐ nation is stabilised. If the power socket for the trailer is in use but no trailer is attached, for example during use of a bicycle carrier with lights, the system may be‐ come active in extreme driving situations. Operating requirements The system is operational when towing a trailer and when using the trailer socket as of approxi‐ mately 65 km/h, 40 mph. The removable ball linkage is stored beneath the floor panel of the boot. Take-up for ball linkage System limits ▷ The system cannot intervene if the trailer veers instantly, for example on slippery or loose road surfaces. ▷ Trailers with a high centre of gravity can tip over before a swinging motion is detected. ▷ The system is not operational if Dynamic Stability Control DSC is deactivated or has failed. The take-up of the removable ball linkage is on the underside of the vehicle. Follow maintenance instructions, see page 274.

Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is also described, for example the selected special equipment or national version. That also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems. Checking tyre pressures regularly Check and, if necessary, correct tyre inflation pressures at least twice a month and before set‐ ting off on a longer journey. Insufficient tyre inflation pressure enlarges the rolling resistance and thus increases fuel con‐ sumption and tyre wear. General Your vehicle contains wide-ranging technolo‐ gies for reducing consumption and emission levels. Fuel consumption depends on various factors. A number of measures, driving style and regular maintenance can influence the fuel consump‐ tion and the burden on the environment. Removing transported load that is not required Extra weight increases fuel consumption. Removing add-on parts after use Driving off immediately Do not warm up the engine with the car at a standstill; it is preferable to set off straight away, driving at moderate engine speeds. A cold engine will then reach its operating tem‐ perature faster. Driving with foresight Avoid accelerating and braking unnecessarily. Keep an appropriate distance from the preced‐ ing vehicle. Anticipating the road situation and adopting a smooth driving style will reduce fuel consump‐ tion. Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof racks and rearmounted racks after use. Avoid high engine speeds Add-on parts on the car interfere with its aero‐ dynamic performance and inflate fuel consump‐ tion. Use 1st gear to drive off. As from 2nd gear, ac‐ celerate quickly. Avoid high engine speeds and shift up quickly. Closing windows and the glass roof Shift into the highest possible gear when you have reached the desired speed and drive at a constant speed with the lowest possible engine speed. An opened glass roof or opened window increa‐ ses the drag coefficient and thus the fuel con‐ sumption. 142 Basic principle: driving at low engine speeds re‐ duces fuel consumption and wear. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Saving fuel Driving hints The shift point indicator of your vehicle indicates the most economical gear. For this reason, switch these functions off if they are not required. Making use of coasting Having the car serviced On approaching a red traffic light, take your foot off the accelerator and allow the car to roll. Have the vehicle serviced regularly to achieve optimal economy and service life. It is recom‐ mended to have maintenance work performed by your Service centre. On downward stretches, take your foot off the accelerator and allow the car to roll. The fuel supply is interrupted when coasting. See also the BMW Maintenance System, see page 252. Switching off the engine when stationary ECO PRO When you stop the car for longer periods, for example at traffic lights, railway crossings or in traffic jams, switch off the engine. Auto Start Stop function The Auto Start Stop function of your vehicle shuts off the engine automatically during a stop. If the engine is switched off and then started again, the fuel consumption and emissions are reduced compared with a permanently running engine. Savings can be made just by stopping the engine for a few seconds. By using this system, premature wear can be caused to certain components of the vehicle. Fuel consumption also depends on other fac‐ tors, such as driving style, road conditions, maintenance or environmental factors, for ex‐ ample. Switching off functions that are not necessary at the moment Functions such as seat heating or heated rear window require a great deal of energy and con‐ sume additional fuel, especially in city traffic and stop/go traffic. Principle ECO PRO supports a low energy consumption driving style. To do this, the engine control and comfort functions are adjusted, such as, for ex‐ ample, the air conditioning power. In addition, situation-dependent instructions can be displayed which help you to drive with optimum fuel consumption. In the instrument cluster, the extension of the range achieved as a result can be displayed. Activate ECO PRO Press the button until ECO PRO is dis‐ played in the instrument cluster.

Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is also described, for example the selected special equipment or national version. That also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems. Tyre pressures Information for your safety A tyre’s condition and pressure influence the following: ▷ Operating life of the tyre. ▷ Driving safety. ▷ Driving comfort. The inflation pressures specified for approved tyre sizes are located on the door pillar of the driver's door. If the speed code letter for the tyre cannot be located, use the tyre pressure for the corre‐ sponding size, for example 255/50 R 19. For Australia/New Zealand Checking pressures Checking tyre pressures regularly Check regularly and adjust as necessary, but at least twice a month and before any long journey. Incorrect tyre pressures can adversely affect the car’s road holding and cause tyre damage, which could result in an accident.◀ After correcting the tyre pressure: ▷ Re-initialise the runflat indicator Inflation pressures are specified on the tyre label affixed to the driver’s door post. Warning The inflation pressures on the tyre label are applicable only for tyres explicitly mentioned on the label. Inflation pressures for tyres that may be covered by the label – by size, speed category and load rating/load index – but not ex‐ plicitly mentioned on the label may be different. Please obtain adequate inflation pressures in accordance with the tyre manufacturer’s speci‐ fications at your tyre dealer.◀ Tyre sizes Inflation pressures refer to the approved and recommended tyre sizes and tyre makes. Your Service centre will be glad to provide more information on wheels and tyres. 238 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Wheels and tyres Mobility Tyre tread ▷ Unusual vehicle response, such as pro‐ nounced pulling to the left or right. Summer tyres Damage can be caused by, for example, running over kerbs, road damage etc. The tyre tread depth should not be less than 3 mm, 1/8 in. Below a tread depth of 3 mm, 1/8 in, there is a high risk of aquaplaning. In the event of tyre damage Winter tyres If there are indications of tyre damage, re‐ duce speed immediately and have the wheels and tyres checked without delay, otherwise there is an increased risk of accident. The tyre tread depth should not be less than 4 mm, 3/16 in. Drive carefully to the nearest Service centre or specialist tyre dealer. Below a tread depth of 4 mm, 3/16 in, suitability for vehicle operation in winter is restricted. Have the car towed there if necessary. Minimum tread depth Otherwise tyre damage can cause danger of death to vehicle occupants and also other roadusers.◀ Repairing tyre damage For safety reasons, the manufacturer of your vehicle advises against having damaged run-flat tyres repaired; have them replaced in‐ stead. Otherwise subsequent damage cannot be excluded.◀ Wear indicators are distributed across the tyre circumference and have the legally prescribed minimum height of 1.6 mm, 1/16 in. Age of tyres They are identified on the tyre’s side wall by TWI, Tread Wear Indicator. Irrespective of wear, change tyres after six years at the latest. Recommendation Date of manufacture Tyre damage On the tyre side wall: General DOT … 3611: the tyre was made in the 36th week of 2011. Inspect tyres frequently for damage, the pres‐ ence of foreign bodies and wear. Notes Vehicle behaviour that is an indication of tyre damage or other faults: ▷ Unusual vibrations while the vehicle is in motion.

If such work is performed inexpertly, it could re‐ sult in consequential damage and thus consti‐ tute a safety risk.◀ Wheel and tyre combination Certain makes of tyre are recommended by the manufacturer of your vehicle depending on tyre size. These can be seen by the asterisk on the side wall of the tyre. Your Service centre can provide details of the right wheel/tyre combination and rim designs for your car. When properly used, these tyres meet the high‐ est standards in terms of safety and handling characteristics. Incorrect wheel and tyre combinations will in‐ terfere with the proper functioning of various systems, such as ABS and DSC. New tyres To maintain good vehicle handling, always fit tyres of the same make and tread pattern to all wheels. After a tyre has been damaged, fit the original wheel and tyre combination again. Approved wheels and tyres The manufacturer of your vehicle recom‐ mends using only wheels and tyres that have been approved for a specific vehicle type. Even if nominally the same dimension, tyres could make contact with the body, for example due to manufacturing tolerances and result in serious accidents. The manufacturer of your vehicle is unable to assess the suitability of tyres and wheels it has not approved, and therefore cannot guarantee their safety.◀ New tyres do not achieve their full road grip im‐ mediately, for production reasons. During the first 300 km, 200 miles, drive mod‐ erately. Retreaded tyres The manufacturer of your vehicle advises against the use of retreaded tyres. Retreaded tyres Due to their potentially different internal construction and advanced age, their durability may be limited and their road safety therefore questionable.◀ Winter tyres Winter tyres are recommended for operation on winter roads or at temperatures below +7 ℃/+45 ℉. Although so-called all-season tyres with an M+S marking have better winter characteristics than summer tyres, they do not normally match the performance of winter tyres. 240 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Wheels and tyres Top speed of winter tyres If the car is capable of speeds higher than the speed permitted for the winter tyres, a sticker stating the maximum permitted speed for the tyres fitted must be displayed in the driver's field of view. Specialist tyre dealers and your Service centre can supply the sticker. Mobility Run-flat tyres Label Top speed for winter tyres Do not exceed the top speed for the winter tyres in use, otherwise tyre damage potentially leading to an accident could occur.◀ Run-flat tyres RSC marking on the tyre side wall. For your own safety, when using run-flat tyres, do not mix with other types of tyre. There is no spare wheel available in the event of a puncture. Your Service centre will be pleased to advise. These wheels consist of tyres that are self-sup‐ porting within certain limitations, and special rims. Interchanging front and rear wheels The manufacturer of your vehicle advises against interchanging the front and rear wheels. This could impair vehicle handling. The reinforced side wall means that the tyre keeps the vehicle mobile to a degree even if pressure has been lost. Continue driving with the damaged tyre, see page 94. Changing run-flat tyres Tyre storage Store wheels and tyres in a cool, dry and pref‐ erably dark place when not in use. Protect tyres against contamination from oil, grease and fuel. Do not exceed the maximum tyre pressure indi‐ cated on the tyre's side wall. For your own safety, use only run-flat tyres. There is no spare wheel available in the event of a puncture. Your Service centre will be pleased to advise. Remedying punctures Safety precautions in the event of a punc‐ ture Park the vehicle on a solid surface and as far away from moving traffic as possible. Switch on hazard warning lights. Engage the steering wheel lock in the straight ahead position of the wheels. Secure the vehicle against rolling away, also ap‐ ply the parking brake and with automatic gear‐ box engage the P position.

The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends that you have the corresponding work carried out by the Service Centre, if you are not familiar with them or they are not described here. A replacement bulb box can be obtained from the Service centre. Risk of sustaining burns Only change bulbs while they are cool to the touch. Otherwise, burns could result.◀ Working on the lighting system Before performing any work on the light‐ ing system, switch off the lights in question, oth‐ erwise there is a risk of short-circuits. Observe any instructions supplied by the bulb manufacturer to avoid the risk of injury or dam‐ age when changing bulbs.◀ Do not perform any work on or replace bulbs on the xenon lights Controls, displays and other equipment items inside your car have light-emitting diodes be‐ hind a cover as their light source. These resemble conventional lasers and are classified by legislation as Class 1 light-emitting diodes. Do not remove the covers Do not remove the covers or expose the eyes directly to the unfiltered light source for several hours at a time, as this could cause irri‐ tation to the retina.◀ Headlight glass During cool or humid weather, the exterior lights can mist over. When driving with the light switched on, the condensation disappears after a short time. There is no need to replace the headlight glass. If the headlights do not defrost, even when driv‐ ing with the lights switched on and increasing moisture builds up, for example water droplets in the lights, have these checked by the service centre. Front lights, replacing the bulbs Halogen headlights Work on the xenon light system, including changing the bulb, must always be performed by a Service centre. Otherwise there is a risk of potentially fatal accidents if work is performed inexpertly, because of the high electrical vol‐ tages present.◀ Do not touch the bulbs Do not touch the glass of a new bulb with your fingers, because even slight amounts of dirt or grease will then be burned into the bulb and reduce its working life. 256 1 Daytime driving lights 2 Turn indicator Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 Replacing parts Mobility 3 Low-beam headlights Turn indicator 4 High-beam headlights/headlight flasher 21 Watt bulb, PY21W 5 Side lights 1.

This chapter describes all standard, national and special equipment provided in the model series. Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is also described, for example the selected special equipment or national version. That also applies to safety-relevant functions and systems. Notes Washing the car Notes Steam-jet cleaners or high-pressure cleaners If you use steam-jet cleaners or high-pressure cleaners, make sure you maintain an adequate distance and a maximum temperature of 60 ℃/140 ℉. With the glass roof keep a distance of at least 80 cm, approx. 31.5 inches. High-pressure jets striking it from close up or with excessively high pressure or temperature could cause damage, or start off a process of long-term damage. Comply with the instructions for the high-pres‐ sure cleaner.◀ Cleaning sensors/cameras with highpressure cleaners Bear the following in mind: ▷ Textile car washes or systems using soft brushes are preferable, to avoid damage to the paintwork. ▷ Make sure the wheels and tyres are not damaged by the conveying mechanism. ▷ Fold in the exterior mirrors, as they could otherwise sustain damage due to the car's width. ▷ Deactivate the rain sensor, see page 62, to avoid unintentional operation of the wipers. ▷ In some instances, depending on the interior movement detector of the alarm system, a false alarm may be triggered. Observe the notes on avoiding false alarms, see page 38. Guide rails in car washes Avoid car washes where the guide rails are higher than 10 cm, 4 in as otherwise the car body may be damaged.◀ Entering a car wash Take the following steps so that the vehicle can be driven into a car wash: Do not direct high-pressure cleaners at the sen‐ sors or cameras on the outside of the vehicle for sustained periods and maintain a distance of at least 30 cm, 12 in. This applies to systems such as Park Distance Control.◀ Manual gearbox: Especially in winter, wash the car more fre‐ quently. 4. Stop the engine. Very high levels of dirt and road salt can cause damage to the car. Automatic gearbox: 1. Release the parking brake. 2. Drive into the car wash. 3. Engage idle position. 5. Switch on ignition. 1. Release the parking brake, see page 60. 2. Drive into the car wash. 3. Depress the brake as needed. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 900 802 - 03 12 490 271 Mobility General care 4. Engage transmission position N. 5. Stop the engine. In this way the ignition re‐ mains switched on and a Check Control message is displayed. Transmission position P with the igni‐ tion switched off With the ignition switched off, transmission position P is engaged automatically. Make sure that in a car wash, for example, the ig‐ nition is not switched off inadvertently.◀ Care and cleaning products Observe the notes on the pack. When cleaning the interior, open the doors or windows. Use only products that are intended for cleaning the car’s interior. Cleaning agents can contain hazardous sub‐ stances or constitute a health risk.◀ Vehicle paintwork It is not possible to lock the vehicle from the out‐ side in transmission position N. Regular care promotes driving safety and pre‐ serves your car's value. If an attempt is made to lock the vehicle, a signal sounds. Environmental factors can affect the vehicle's paintwork. Base the frequency and extent of ve‐ hicle care on such factors. Transmission position Transmission position P is automatically en‐ gaged: ▷ With the ignition switched off. ▷ After approximately 15 minutes. Headlights ▷ Do not rub them when dry or use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents. ▷ Soak impurities such as insects with sham‐ poo and wash off with water. ▷ Remove ice with a de-icer spray; do not use an ice scraper. After washing the car After washing the car, drive it briefly and apply the brakes to dry them out; this is necessary to prevent reduced braking action, and also to avoid corrosion of the brake discs. Remove dust from the leather at regular inter‐ vals with a cloth or vacuum cleaner. Dust and road dirt will otherwise become worked into pores and folds, causing consider‐ able abrasion and causing the leather surface to become prematurely brittle. In order to protect against discolouration, for ex‐ ample from clothing, clean the leather approxi‐ mately every two months. Clean light-coloured leather more frequently as it has the tendency to soil faster. Use leather cleaner, as dirt and grease with oth‐ erwise attack the protective coating of the leather. Suitable cleaner can be obtained from a Service centre. Care of upholstery fabrics Clean regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Car care Care products BMW recommends that you use BMW cleaning and care products, as these have been tested and approved. 272 Leather care In the event of heavy soiling, for example stains caused by drinks, use a soft sponge or a lint-free microfibre cloth with suitable interior cleaning agents. Clean upholstery materials over a large area up to the seams. Avoid strong rubbing.

Do not use aggressive, acidic, strong alkali and abrasive cleaning agents, or steam-jet cleaners at above 60 ℃/140 ℉. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Chrome surfaces Carefully clean parts such as the radiator grille and door handles with plenty of water to which a shampoo may be added, particularly if ex‐ posed to road salt. Rubber parts Other than washing with water, treat only with rubber care products. Do not use any silicone-based care products for treating rubber seals, as these could otherwise be damaged and become a source of noise. Fine wood parts Clean fine wood trims and fine wood parts only with a damp cloth. Then dry them with a soft cloth. Plastic parts These include: ▷ Imitation leather surfaces. ▷ Roof lining. ▷ Light covers. ▷ Glass cover of instrument cluster. ▷ Parts sprayed matt black. ▷ Painted parts in the interior. Use a microfibre cloth to clean. Mobility Slightly moisten the cloth with water. Do not soak the roof lining. No cleaning agents containing alcohol/ solvent Do not use any alcohol-based or solvent-based cleaning agents such as nitro thinners, cold cleansers, fuel or similar, as otherwise the sur‐ faces can be damaged.◀ Seat belts Dirt on the seat belts can interfere with the ac‐ tion of the reel and represent a safety hazard.
