When you ordered your BMW, you chose vari­ous items of equipment. This Owner's Manual describes the entire array of options and equip­ment available with a specific BMW model.
Please bear in mind that the manual may con­tain information on accessories and equipment that you have not specified for your own vehicle. Sections describing options and special equip­ment are marked by asterisks identifying possible differences between the descriptions in this manual and your own vehi­cle's equipment.

Status of this Owner's Manual at time of printing

BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing development that is conceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety standards combined with advanced, state-of-the-art technology. For this reason, it is possible in exceptional cases that features described in this Owner's Manual could differ from those on your vehicle.

For your own safety

Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of
modern materials and powerful electron­ics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. You should therefore have the corresponding work on your vehicle per­formed only by your BMW center or at a work­shop that works according to BMW repair pro­cedures with correspondingly trained personnel. If this work is not carried out prop­erly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.<
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and accessories approved by BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Original BMW Parts, you simultaneously acquire the assurance that they have been thoroughly tested by BMW to ensure optimum performance when installed on your vehicle.
BMW warrants these parts to be free from defects in material and workmanship.
BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from installation of parts and accesso­ries not approved by BMW.
BMW cannot test every product made by other manufacturers to verify if it can be used on a BMW safely and without risk to either the vehi­cle, its operation, or its occupants.
Original BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other products approved by BMW, together with professional advice on using these items, are available from all BMW centers.
Installation and operation of accessories not approved by BMW, such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones, including operation of any mobile phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna, or transceiver equipment, for instance, CBs, walkie-talkies, ham radio or sim­ilar accessories, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, compromise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical system or affect the validity of the BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW center for additional information.<
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and sys­tems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any cer­tified automotive part.<

California Proposition 65 warning
California law requires us to issue the following warning:
Notes
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of
automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior fur­nishings in a vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Battery posts, terminals and related accesso­ries contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.<

Service and warranty

We recommend that you read this publication thoroughly.
Your BMW is covered by the following warran­ties:
> New Vehicle Limited Warranty > Rust Perforation Limited Warranty > Federal Emissions System Defect Warranty > Federal Emissions Performance Warranty > California Emission Control System Limited
Warranty
Detailed information about these warranties is listed in the Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models.
Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and designed to meet the particular operating con­ditions and homologation requirements in your country and continental region in order to deliver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is operated under those conditions. If you wish to operate your vehicle in another country or region, you may be required to adapt your vehi­cle to meet different prevailing operating condi­tions and homologation requirements. You should also be aware of any applicable warranty limitations or exclusions for such country or region. In such case, please contact Customer Relations for further information.

Maintenance
Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the road safety, operational reliability and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Specifications for required maintenance mea­sures:
> BMW Maintenance system > Service and Warranty Information Booklet

If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in serious damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not cov­ered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited War­ranty.

Reporting safety defects

For US customers
The following only applies to vehicles owned and operated in the US.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, in addition to notifying BMW of North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone 1-800-831-
1117. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may
open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your center, or BMW of North America, LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Adminis­trator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590.

Notes on Emergency Requests

Do not use the voice activation system to ini­tiate an Emergency Request. In stressful situa­tions, the voice and vocal pitch can change. This can unnecessarily delay the establishment of a telephone connection.
Instead, use the SOS button page 234, in the vicinity of the interior rearview mirror.

Controls

Controls
This chapter is intended to provide you with
information for complete control of your vehicle.
All features and accessories that are useful for
driving and your safety, comfort and
convenience, are described here.

Opening and closing

Remote control

Each remote control contains a rechargeable
Opening and closing
battery that is automatically recharged when it is in the ignition lock while the car is being driven. Use each remote control at least twice a year for longer road trips in order to maintain the batteries' charge status. In cars with Comfort
*, the remote control contains a
Access replaceable battery, refer to page 37.
The settings called up and implemented when the car is unlocked depend on which remote control is used to unlock the car, refer to Per­sonal Profile, next column.
In addition, information about service require­ments is stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in the remote control, page 221.
New remote controls
Your BMW center can supply new remote con­trols with integrated keys as additional units or as replacements in the event of loss.

Personal Profile

The concept
You can set many of your BMW's functions to suit your personal needs and preferences. Without any action on your part, Personal Pro­file ensures that most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use. When you unlock the car, the remote control used for the purpose is recognized and the set­tings stored for it are called up and imple­mented.
This means that your personal settings will be activated for you, even if in the meantime your car was used by someone else with another remote control and the corresponding settings. The individual settings are stored for a maxi­mum of four remote controls. They are stored for two remote controls if Comfort Access use.
