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. Thus in rare circumstances, the features described in this Owner's Manual may differ from those of your vehicle.
For your own safety
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.<
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, con­tain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive 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. Batteries also contain other chemicals known to the State of Cali­fornia to cause cancer. 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.<
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. BMW will not accept any liability for damages resulting from installation of parts and accessories not approved by BMW.

Notes
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 mobile phone from within the vehicle without using an externally mounted antenna – or trans­ceiver equipment such as CBs, walkie­talkies, ham radios 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. Refer to your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle 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 auto­motive part.<

Refueling

530us005
1. Open the cover on the left in the cargo area by lifting 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.
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. Therefore, check the expiration dates of the contents regularly and replace the contents concerned in good time as needed.

Fuel filler door
Before filling the tank, switch off the engine. If you do not, fuel can-
not be added to 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 by lifting the handle on the cover
2. Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol.
Refueling
25n
When handling fuels, always
observe any safety guidelines posted at the service 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.<
530us008
Observe the following when refueling
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.
The fuel tank is full when the filler noz­zle clicks off the first time.
To close the fuel filler cap: Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly hear a click.
Close the filler cap carefully after
refueling until a click is heard. While closing, be sure not to jam the strap attached to the cap between the gas cap and the vehicle. A loose or missing cap will activate the message CHECK GAS CAP in the Check Con­trol
*
or the Check Gas Cap lamp*.<
Tank capacity: approx. 24.6 gal./93 liters, including a reserve of: 6-cylinder engine: approx. 2.0 gal./ 8 liters: 8-cylinder engine: approx. 2.5 gal./ 10 liters.
Never attempt to continue driving
until the tank is completely empty, as engine functions could be affected, and the vehicle could sustain damage as a result.<

Fuel specifications

The engine uses lead-free gasoline only.
Required fuel
Premium Unleaded Gasoline, Minimum Octane Rating: 91.
Minimum Octane Rating corresponds to the Anti Knock Index AKI and is deter­mined according to the so-called (R+M)/2 method.
Do not use leaded gasoline: use of leaded fuel will permanently dam-
age the lambda probe and catalytic converter of your vehicle.<
Use high-quality brands
Field experience has indicated signifi­cant differences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. 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 co­solvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.
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 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 also result in unsched­uled maintenance.<

Keys Central locking system

530de367
The key set
1 Each master key with remote control
contains a long-life battery as a power supply, which is automatically recharged in the ignition lock while driving. It is therefore necessary to use each master key at least twice per year in order to maintain the charge. Depending on which master key the vehicle detects during unlocking, different settings will be requested and executed in the vehi­cle, refer to Vehicle and Key memory on page 61.
2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key does not fit in the lock of the glove compartment. This is an advan­tage in a hotel, for example. The key is not intended for continuous use.
Replacement keys
Additional or replacement keys are available at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center.
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 34.
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 lock buttons or door handles. The alarm system is also armed or disarmed.
In an accident of sufficient severity the central locking system automatically unlocks, but only doors which have not been locked separately with the lock buttons, refer to page 34. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and the interior lamps are switched on.
