Owner's Handbook for Vehicle
Congratulations on your choice of a BMW. The better you are acquainted with your car, the easier you will
find it is to handle. We would therefore like to offer you the following advice:
Please read the Owner's Handbook before setting out in your new BMW. Also use the integrated Owner's Handbook in your vehicle. It contains important notes on how to operate the car, enabling you to derive maximum benefit from the technical advantages of your BMW. It also contains useful information which will help you to uphold both your BMW's operating safety and its full resale value.
Updates to the printed or integrated Owner's Handbook after go‐ ing to press are located as needed in the appendix to the printed quick reference to the vehicle.
Supplementary information is provided in the other documents of on-board literature.
We wish you a safe and enjoyable journey, BMW AG

About this Owner’s Handbook
The quickest access to a particular topic or item is by consulting the alphabetical index.
The first chapter is recommended for an initial overview of the vehicle.

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.

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‐

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.

Voice control system

Voice control system Overview

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.

Principle

▷ Through the voice control system most
functions shown in the Control Display can be operated by spoken commands. The system supports spoken input.
▷ Functions that can only be used when the
vehicle is stationary cannot be operated via the voice control system.
▷ The system has a special microphone on the
driver's side.
▷ ›...‹ Identifies commands for the voice con‐
trol system in the Owner's Handbook.

Requirements

On the control display set a language that is also supported by the voice control system, so that the vehicle can identify spoken commands.
Setting the language, see page 81.

Issuing voice commands

Activating the voice control system
The command is shown in the instrument cluster.
Symbol in the instrument cluster indicates
that the voice control system is active. If no further spoken commands are possible,
switch to iDrive to control the function in this case.
Switching off the voice control system
Press the button on the steering wheel or say ›Cancel‹.

Possible commands

Most of the menu items on the control display can be called up by means of spoken com‐ mands.
The possible commands depend on which menu is currently displayed on the Control Dis‐ play.
There are commands for the functions of the main menu.
Several list entries, for example, telephone book entries, can also be selected using the voice control system. When doing this, list entries are to be spoken exactly as they are shown in the relevant list.
Having possible commands read aloud
Possible commands can be read aloud: ›Voice commands‹
If, for example, the menu "Settings" is displayed, the commands for the settings are announced.
1.
2. Wait for acoustic signal.
3. Issue the command.
Press the button on the steering
wheel.
Running functions using short commands
Main menu functions can be performed imme‐ diately using short commands, almost irrespec‐

2. Press the button on the steering
wheel.
3. ›C D and multimedia‹
The last medium played is played.
4. ›C D track ...‹, for example CD track 4.

Setting the speech dialogue

You can set whether the system uses the stand‐ ard dialogue or the short variant,
With the short variants of the speech dialogue, the system announcements are played in short‐ ened form.
On the control display:
"Settings"
1.
2. "Language/Units"
3. "Speech mode:"
4. Select the setting.

Adjusting volume

Turn the volume knob during the voice instruc‐ tions until the desired volume is obtained.
▷ The volume is retained even if you change
the volume of other audio sources.
▷ The volume is saved for the remote control
currently in use.

Information regarding emergency calls

The voice control system should not be used for emergency calls. Under stress, the spoken lan‐ guage and voice pitch can change, which could unnecessarily delay the connection of your call.
Instead, use the SOS button, see page 265, in the area of the interior mirror.

Operating conditions

▷ Commands, digits and letters should be
pronounced fluently, with the usual empha‐ sis, and at a normal volume and speed.
▷ Always speak the commands in the lan‐
guage of the voice control system.
▷ When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name:
22
›Station ...‹ for example, Classic Radio sta‐ tion
▷ Doors, windows and the glass roof should be
kept closed to avoid noise interference.
▷ Avoid background noises in the car while
you are speaking.
