About this Owner's Manual

We have made every effort to ensure that you are able to find what you need in this Owner's Manual as quickly as possible. The fastest way to find certain topics is by using the detailed index at the end. If you desire an initial overview of your vehicle, this can be found in the first chapter.
Should you wish to sell your BMW at some time in the future, please remember to hand over the Owner's Manual to the new owner; it is an important part of the vehicle.
If you have any questions, your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center will be glad to advise you.

The individual vehicle

On buying 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. Any differences can easily be identified, since all optional extras and special equipment are marked with an asterisk
If your BMW features equipment 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 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 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 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 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 pertinent 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 damages 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 Sports Activity Vehicle centers.

1. Open the cover on the left in the cargo area: lift the handle on the cover
2. Pull the tab of the retaining strap, refer to arrow, and remove the hazard warning triangle from the support bracket
3. To install: slide the hazard warning triangle into the support bracket and press on the retaining strap.
Always observe all legal regula­tions requiring a warning triangle
to be carried in the vehicle.<
530de242
The first-aid kit is located under the front passenger's seat.
To open: pull the handle and fold the cover down.
To close: fold the cover up.
Some of the articles in the first-aid
kit may be used within a limited time only. For this reason, check the expiration dates of each of the items regularly, and replace any whose expiration dates have passed. You can acquire replacements in any drugstore or pharmacy. Always observe all legal regulations requiring a first-aid kit to be carried in the vehicle.<
Fuel filler door
Before filling the tank, switch 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 fuel filler door, press on the front edge.
In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can also open the fuel filler door manually:
1. Open the cover on the right in the
cargo area: lift the handle on the cover
2. Pull the knob with the fuel pump
symbol.
Refueling
25n
When handling fuels, comply with
all of the applicable safety precau­tions and regulations pertaining to fuels. 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.<
530us008
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 spillage.<
Keep the filler cap in the bracket attached to the fuel filler door.
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.
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

Check tire pressures
All pressure specifications are indicated in psi/kilopascal for tires at ambient temperature, refer also to the table on the next page.
Vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitor RDC: After correcting the inflation pressures, reactivate the system, refer to page 97.
Check tire inflation pressures
regularly — at least every two weeks and before beginning a longer trip. Incorrect tire pressure can other­wise lead to poor handling, tire damage and accidents. Check the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire. Inflate the spare tire to the highest inflation pressure of any tire on your vehicle.<
Comply with tire approval specifications
The inflation pressures in the table apply to tire sizes and tires from BMW­approved manufacturers. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center is familiar with these pressures. A different inflation pressure may be required for tire makes not approved by BMW.
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.

determine the functions of the Key Memory, refer to page 61. You can mark individual keys for subsequent identification by applying the colored decals that you received when accepting delivery of your vehicle
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key which is charged automatically in the ignition lock as you drive. For this reason, if you have a master key that is otherwise not used, use that key approx. once every year while driving for an extended period. This will charge the battery, refer also to page 31.<
2 Spare master key for storage in a
safe place, such as in your wallet. This key is not intended for contin­uous 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.
The concept
The central locking system is ready for operation as soon as you close the front doors. The system engages or releases the locks on the
> doors > liftgate/tailgate > 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 via the button for the
central locking system.
If the system is locked from inside, the fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer to page 35.
When the system is actuated from outside of the vehicle, the anti-theft system is actuated simultaneously. This prevents the doors from being unlocked via safety lock buttons or door handles. The alarm system is also armed or disarmed.
In the event of an accident, the central locking system unlocks automatically, but only those doors which were not locked separately with the safety lock buttons, refer to page 35. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and interior lamps come on.
