The individual vehicle
On buying your BMW, you have decided in favor of a model with individ­ualized equipment and fittings. 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. Any differences can easily be identified, since all optional accessories and special equipment are marked with
*
an asterisk If your BMW features equipment that is
not described in this Owner's Manual (a car radio or telephone, for instance), we have enclosed Supplementary Owner's Manuals. 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, it is possible that the features described in this Owner's Manual could differ from those on your vehicle. Nor can errors and omissions be entirely ruled out. You are therefore asked to appreciate that no legal claims can be entertained on the basis of the data, illustrations or descriptions in this Owner's Manual.

For your own safety

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 that 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. Follow the relevant safety rules when
<
you are handling gasoline.
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 from 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 portable cellular phone from within the vehicle without using an externally-mounted antenna) or trans­ceiver equipment (for instance, CBs, 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. 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 auto-
<
motive part.
Symbol on vehicle parts
Indicates that you should consult
the relevant section of this Owner's Manual for information on a particular part or assembly.
For your own safety
The following only applies to vehicles owned and operated in the US.
REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
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, Inc., P.O. Box 1227, Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone (201) 307-4000.
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 dealer, or BMW of North America, Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

that are identified by " proper functioning whenever the igni­tion key is turned. They light up once for different periods of time.
If a fault should occur in one of these systems, the corresponding lamp does not go out after the engine is started or it lights up while the vehicle is moving. You will see how to react to this in the following section.
" are tested for
Red: stop immediately
Battery charge current The battery is no longer being
charged. There is a malfunction of the alternator drive belt or in the charging circuit of the alternator. Please contact the nearest BMW center.

The button flashes intermittently when the hazard warning flashers are on.
To help you locate the switch in an emergency, the button is also illumi­nated whenever the vehicle's lamps are on.
394de053
The hazard warning triangle is readily accessible. It is stored in the container for the onboard tool kit mounted in the luggage compartment lid.
To open the container, loosen the wing nut(s).
Comply with legal requirements that cover the availability of a

Under the front passenger's seat. To remove: lift the release lever on the
front (arrow) and pull the first-aid kit forward out of its support.
To store: position the back of the kit into the support, then push back until the lever engages.
Some of the articles in the first-aid
kit may be used within a limited time only. For this reason, check the contents of the kit regularly. Replace any items whose expiration dates have passed. These items are available in any drugstore or pharmacy. Comply with legal requirements that cover the availability of a first-aid kit in the vehicle.<

Refueling

394de011
Fuel filler door
Before filling the tank, shut off the
engine. If you do not, fuel cannot be filled into the tank and the Service Engine Soon lamp may come on.<
To open the filler door, press on the front edge.
To unlock the fuel filler door if the central locking system malfunctions, refer to page 170.
When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau­tions and regulations posted at the filling station. 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.<
394de120
Simple and environmentally friendly
Open the filler cap carefully to
prevent fuel from spraying out. Fuel spray may cause injury. Do not top off. Topping off may cause fuel to spill.<
Keep the filler cap in the bracket attached to the fuel filler door.
25n
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle completely into the filler pipe. Pulling the nozzle out of the pipe during refu­eling
> results in premature pump shutoff > and will reduce the effect of the vapor
recovery system on the pump.
As long as the filler nozzle is used prop­erly, the fuel tank is full whenever the nozzle shuts off the first time.
Tank capacity: refer to page 186.
Close the filler 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 message "CHECK FILLER CAP" in the Check Control or the Service Engine Soon lamp.<

Required fuel: > Premium Unleaded Gasoline,
min. 91 AKI AKI = Anti Knock Index
Do not use leaded fuels. The use
of leaded fuels will cause perma­nent damage to the system's oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter.<
Check tire inflation pressures
regularly – at least every two weeks and before beginning a longer trip. Incorrect tire pressure can other­wise lead to tire damage and acci­dents.<
390de351
The inflation pressures are indicated on a label attached to the B-pillar behind the driver's door (visible with door open).
Check tire pressures
All pressure specifications are indicated in psi (kilopascal) for tires at ambient temperature (refer also to the next page).
After you have corrected the tire
inflation pressure, reactivate the Tire Pressure Warning (RDW) system. Refer to page 88.<

1 The master keys with remote control
determine the functions of the Key Memory. Refer to page 52
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key which is charged automatically in the steering lock as you drive. For this reason, if you have a master key that is otherwise not used, use that key approximately once every year while driving for an extended period. This will charge the battery. Refer also to page 33.<
2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not intended for constant use
3 Door and ignition key
The lock for the glove compartment cannot be operated with this key. This is recommended for valet parking, for instance
Replacement keys
Replacement keys are available exclu­sively through your BMW center. Your BMW center is obligated to ensure that a person requesting a key is authorized to do so since the keys belong to a security system (refer to "Electronic vehicle immobilizer" on page 31).
If possible, take all of the master
keys that belong to the vehicle with you when you pick up your replacement key. Whenever you receive a new replace­ment key, turn it once to position 2 in the ignition lock (ignition switched on) and then back, so that the electronic vehicle immobilizer can "learn" the new key.<
