Should you want to sell your BMW some day, please remember to hand over the Owner's Manual as well; it is an important component of your vehicle.

Additional sources of information: If you have any questions, your

BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center will be glad to advise you.

You can find information on BMW, e.g. technology, on the Internet at www.bmwusa.com.

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

Fuels:

Use unleaded fuel 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 drivability, starting and stalling problems, especially under certain environmental conditions, such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter drivability 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.

Maintenance and repair:

Advanced technology, e.g. the

use of modern materials and highperformance electronics, requires specially adapted maintenance and repair methods. Therefore, only have corresponding work on your BMW carried out by a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle 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:

For your own safety, use genuine

parts and accessories approved by BMW. When you purchase accessories tested and approved by BMW and Genuine 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.

Notes

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. Genuine 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. 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 phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna – or transceiver equipment such as CB, walkietalkie, 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 Sports Activity Vehicle center for additional informa-

tion.

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.

Service and Warranty

This manual is supplemented by a Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or a Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models.

We recommend that you read this publication thoroughly.

Your BMW is covered by the following warranties:

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

Rust Perforation Limited Warranty

Federal Emissions System Defect Warranty

Federal Emissions Performance Warranty

California Emissions 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.

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 GAS CAP – in the Check Control

The key set

1 Central key with remote control,

determine the functions of the Key Memory, refer to page 60. You can mark the keys with remote control using the colored labels you received on taking delivery of the vehicle

Each central key with remote con-

trol contains a long-life battery. The battery is automatically charged in the ignition lock while the vehicle is being driven. If you have any central keys with remote control that are not used on a regular basis, you should therefore remember to recharge these units by using them to drive the vehicle for an

extended period at least once a year, refer to page 29.<

2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,

such as in your wallet. This key cannot be used to open the lock for the glove compartment. This is an advantage in a hotel, for example.

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 cen-

tral locking system.

If the system is locked from inside, the fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer to page 33.

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 an accident, the central locking system automatically unlocks, however only doors that were not locked separately with the lock buttons, refer to page 33. The hazard warning flashers and interior lamps are also switched on.
