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, such as a car radio or telephone, which is not described in this Owner's Manual, 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 designed 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 you are handling gasoline.<

6 Notes

Maintenance and repair

Advanced technology, e.g. the use of modern materials and high-

performance 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 made by other manufacturers to ascertain 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, walkietalkie, ham radio or similar, 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.

Do not use key or remote control to lock doors or cargo area 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.<

Symbol on vehicle parts

24 Refueling

Always observe all safety precautions 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 possi-

ble 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.

If an electrical malfunction occurs, you can unlock the fuel filler door manually:

1.Release the side trim on the righthand sidewall of the cargo area

2.Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol.

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.

The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle shuts off the first time.

Refueling

Close the gas cap carefully after refueling until a click is heard.

While closing, be sure not to squeeze the strap which is fastened to the cap. A loose or missing cap will activate the CHECK GAS CAP* lamp.<

Fuel tank capacity

>Approx. 16.6 gal./63 liters, of which

>approx. 2.1 gal./8 liters are reserve capacity.

Do not drive to the last drop of fuel. This can prevent the engine

from operating properly and result in damage.<

Fuel specifications

Tire inflation pressure 25

 

 

The engine uses lead-free gasoline only.

Required fuel:

>Premium Unleaded Gasoline, min. 91 AKI.

AKI = Anti Knock Index

Never use leaded fuel, as it would cause permanent and irreversible

damage to the oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter.<

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.

Repairs Maintenance Controls Overview

Index Data

26 Tire inflation pressure

Vehicles with Flat Tire Monitor:

After correcting the inflation pressures, reinitialize the system. Refer to

page 91.

Check the tire pressures on a regular 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, refer to page 147.

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.

The key set

1Master keys with remote control unit

– these keys determine the functions of the Key Memory. Refer to page 61. 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 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 that are not being used, you should use those keys at least once a year while driving for an extended period to charge the battery, refer also to

page 31.<

The concept

The central locking system is ready for operation whenever the driver's door is closed. The system simultaneously engages and releases the locks on the

>doors

>tailgate and rear window

>fuel filler door.

The central locking system can be operated

>from outside via the remote control as well as via the driver's door lock

>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 35. 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.

If locked from the inside, the central locking system unlocks automatically in the event of an accident, except on doors that have been locked individually using the lock buttons, refer to page 35. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and interior lamps come on.
