The individual vehicle
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 * to assist you in identifying possible differences between the descriptions in this manual and your own vehicle's equipment.
If equipment in your BMW is not described in this Owner's Manual, please refer to the accompanying Supplementary Owner's Manuals.
Editorial notice
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 electron-
ics, 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 non-BMW approved accessories 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

Text messages at the lower edge of the Control Display explain the meaning of the displayed indicator and warning lamps.
You can call up more information, e.g. on the cause of a malfunction and on how to respond, via Check Control, refer to page 83.
In urgent cases, this information will be shown as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.

Voice command system*
The concept
The voice command system allows you to control operation of various vehicle systems without removing your hands from the steering wheel.
Individual menu items on the Control Display can be spoken as commands. It is not necessary to use the controller.
The voice command system transforms your oral commands into control signals for the selected systems and provides support in the form of instructions or questions.
The voice command system uses a special microphone located in the area of the interior rearview mirror, refer to page 14.
This symbol on the Control Display and an acoustic signal indicate that the voice command system is ready to receive spoken commands.
2.Say the command.
The command appears on the Control Display.
Precondition
Via iDrive, select the language in which the voice command system is operating, so that the spoken commands can be identified. Selecting the language for iDrive, refer to page 86.
