For your own safety
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, re‐ quires suitable maintenance and repair meth‐ ods.
Therefore, have this work performed only by a BMW center or a workshop that works accord‐
Notes
ing to BMW repair procedures with appropri‐ ately trained personnel.
If this work is not carried out properly, there is the danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine parts and ac‐ cessories approved by BMW. When you pur‐ chase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Genuine BMW Parts, you simultane‐ ously 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 de‐ fects in material and workmanship. BMW will not accept any liability for damage resulting from in‐ stallation 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. Genuine BMW Parts, BMW Accessories and other prod‐ ucts approved by BMW, together with profes‐ sional 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 trans‐ ceiver equipment, for instance, CBs, walkie­talkies, ham radios or similar accessories, may cause extensive damage to the vehicle, com‐ promise 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, re‐ placement, or repair of the emission control de‐ vices and systems may be performed by any au‐ tomotive repair establishment or individual using any certified automotive part.
California Proposition 65 Warning
California laws require us to state the following warning:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle, con‐ tain or emit chemicals known to the State of Cal‐ ifornia to cause cancer and birth defects and re‐ productive 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 vehicle is covered by the fol‐ lowing 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 con‐ ditions and homologation requirements in your country and continental region in order to deliver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is op‐ erated under those conditions. If you wish to op‐ erate 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
7
Notes
also be aware of any applicable warranty limita‐ tions 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 Vehi‐ cle Limited Warranty.
Specifications for required maintenance meas‐ ures:
▷ BMW Maintenance system
▷ Service and Warranty Information Booklet
for US models
▷ Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for
Canadian models
If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in serious damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not cov‐ ered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited War‐ ranty.
Data memory
Numerous electronic components in your vehi‐ cle contain data memories that store technical information on the vehicle condition, events and faults, either temporarily or permanently. This technical information generally documents the state of a component, a module, a system or the environment.
▷ Operating conditions of system compo‐
nents, such as filling levels.
▷ Status messages from the vehicle and its
individual components, such as wheel rpm/ speed, motion delay, transverse accelera‐ tion.
▷ Malfunctions and defects in important sys‐
tem components, such as lights and brakes.
▷ Vehicle responses to special driving situa‐
tions, such as airbag deployment, use of the stability control systems.
▷ Ambient conditions, such as the tempera‐
ture.
These data are of a technical nature only and are used to detect and eliminate faults and to opti‐ mize vehicle functions. Travel profiles of routes driven with the vehicle cannot be created from these data. If services are used, for instance in the event of repairs, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance, etc., this technical in‐ formation can be read out from the event and fault data memories by service personnel, in‐ cluding the manufacturer, using special diagno‐ sis tools. This service personnel can provide you with more information if needed. After trouble‐ shooting, the information in the fault memory is cleared or overwritten continuously.
Situations are conceivable during the use of the vehicle in which these technical data could be‐ come associated with a specific person in com‐ bination with other information, such as an ac‐ cident report, damage to the vehicle, witness accounts, etc., possibly with the involvement of an authorized expert.
Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer, such as vehicle lo‐ calization in the event of an emergency, permit the transfer of certain vehicle data out of the ve‐ hicle.
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 Na‐ tional 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.

Voice activation system

Vehicle equipment

This chapter describes all series equipment as well as country-specific and special equipment offered for this model series.Therefore, it also describes equipment that may not be found in your vehicle, for instance due to the selected special equipment or the country version. This also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐ tems.

The concept

▷ Most functions that are displayed on the
Control Display can be operated with the voice activation system using spoken com‐ mands. The system prompts you to make your entries.
▷ Functions that can only be used when the
vehicle is stationary cannot be operated us‐ ing the voice activation system.
▷ The system uses a special microphone lo‐
cated in the area of the interior rearview mir‐ ror.
▷ ›...‹ Verbal instructions in the Owner's

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 te‐ lephone connection.
Instead, use the SOS button, refer to page 253, in the vicinity of the interior mirror.

Environmental conditions

▷ Say the commands, numbers, and letters
smoothly and with normal volume, empha‐ sis, and speed.
▷ Always say commands in the language of
the voice activation system.
