Your individual vehicle

On purchasing your BMW, you have decided in favor of a model with individ­ualized equipment and features. This Owner's Manual describes all models and equipment that BMW offers within the same group.
We hope you will understand that equipment and features are included that you might not have chosen for your vehicle. You can easily identify any dif­ferences with the aid of the asterisk used to identify all optional equipment and accessories.
If your BMW features equipment which is not described in this Owner's Man­ual, such as a car radio or telephone, supplementary Owner's Manuals are enclosed. We ask you to read these manuals as well.

Status at time of printing

BMW pursues a policy of continuous, ongoing development 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, the features described in this Owner's Manual could differ from those in your vehicle. Nor can errors and omissions be entirely ruled out. You are therefore asked to appreciate that no claims can be recognized on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this Owner's Manual.

For your own safety

Fuels
Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels
containing up to and including 10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight – that is, 15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of co-solvent – will not void the applicable warranties respecting defects in materials or work­manship. Field experience has indi­cated significant differences in fuel quality – volatility, composition, addi­tives, etc. among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. The use of poor-quality fuels may result in driveability, starting and stalling problems, especially under certain environmental conditions, such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter driveability prob­lems which you suspect could be related to the fuel you are using, we recommend that you respond by switching to a recognized high-quality brand. Failure to comply with these recom­mendations may result in unscheduled maintenance. Obey all applicable safety rules when handling gasoline.

Notes
Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the
use of modern materials and high­performance electronics, requires spe­cially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, only have corre­sponding work on your BMW carried out by a BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel. If work is carried out improperly there is a danger of conse­quential damage and the related safety
<
risks.
Parts and accessories
Important safety information!
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 on the market to determine whether 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 non-BMW approved accessories such as alarms, radios, amplifiers, radar detectors,
wheels, suspension components, brake dust shields, telephones – including operation of any portable cellular phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna – or trans­ceiver equipment, such as a CB, walkie-talkie, 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. Contact your BMW center for additional information. Do not use key or remote control to lock doors or luggage compartment with anyone inside the vehicle. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more details.
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.

Refueling

Always observe all safety precau-
tions posted at the service station when handling fuel. Never carry spare fuel containers in your vehicle. Whether empty or full, these containers can leak, cause an explosion, or lead to fire in the event of a collision.<
Fuel filler door
Always switch off the engine
before refueling, as it is not possi­ble to add fuel with the engine running, and attempts may also trigger the SERVICE ENGINE SOON lamp.<
Press on the rear edge of the fuel filler door to open and close it.
Pull the knob with the fuel pump sym­bol, located on the right side wall of the luggage compartment.
Simple and environmentally friendly
Open the gas cap carefully to pre­vent fuel from spraying out. Fuel
spray may cause injury.<
Keep the gas cap in the bracket attached to the fuel filler door.
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle completely into the filler pipe. Lifting the nozzle during refueling
> results in premature pump shutoff > and will reduce the effectiveness of
the vapor recovery system on the pump.

Checking tire pressures
Tire pressures in psi/kilopascal are shown on the driver's door post and are visible when the door is open.
Only check the tire inflation pressures of cold tires. This means after driving a maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km or after the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. Warm tires have higher infla­tion pressures.
In the following tire inflation pressure table, all pressures are specified in the standard units of pressure, psi and kilo­pascal, and apply to cold tires, i.e. tires at ambient temperature.
26
Tire inflation pressure
Vehicles with Flat Tire Monitor:
After correcting the inflation pressures, reinitialize the system. Refer to page 94.
Check the tire pressures on a reg-
ular basis – at least twice a month – and before every extended journey. If this is not done, incorrect tire pressures can cause driving instability and tire damage, ultimately resulting in acci­dents. Remember to check the inflation pres­sure in the space-saver or standard spare tire. Inflate the spare tire to the highest infla­tion pressure specified for your vehi­cle.<
Comply with tire approval specifications
The inflation pressures in the table apply to BMW approved tire sizes and tire manufacturers. Your BMW center can provide you with more information about these. Other pressures may be required for tires made by other manu­facturers.
Your vehicle is equipped with tires that not only meet US standards, but also European standards. We recommend the exclusive use of BMW approved tires.

Keys

Central locking system

The key set
1 Master keys with remote control unit
– these keys determine the functions of the Key Memory. Refer to page 70. You can mark the individual keys for subsequent identification by apply­ing the colored decals that you received when accepting delivery of your vehicle
In every master key with the
remote control feature there is an extended-life battery that is charged automatically in the ignition lock as you drive. For this reason, if you have master keys with the remote control feature that are not being used otherwise, use those keys at least once a year while driving for an extended period to charge the battery.<
2 Spare key – for storage in a safe
place, such as in your wallet. This key is not intended for constant use. The luggage compartment lid and the glove compartment cannot be locked and unlocked with this key. This is useful for valet parking, for example
The concept
The central locking system engages and releases the following locks at the same time:
> doors > luggage compartment lid > fuel filler door > glove compartment.
The central locking system is ready for operation whenever the driver's door is closed.
The central locking system can be operated
> from outside via the door lock as well
as via the remote control
> from inside by pressing a button.
The fuel filler door is not locked when the central locking system is activated from the inside, refer to page 34.
When the system is actuated from the outside, the anti-theft system is also activated. This prevents the doors from being unlocked via the lock buttons or the release handle. The alarm system is also activated or deactivated.
The central locking system is automati­cally deactivated in the event of an accident. In addition, the hazard warn­ing flashers and interior lamps come on.
