License plate lamp, center brake lamp, parking/tail lamp and turn signal* These lamps use LED technology for operation. In the event of a malfunction, please contact your BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with cor- respondingly trained personnel.
Changing wheels Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as standard. This removes the need to change a wheel immediately in the event of a puncture. For information on continuing to drive with a damaged tire, refer to Indication of a flat tire on page 85. The symbol identifying run-flat tires is a circle with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to Run-flat tires, page 216. When mounting new tires or changing over from summer to winter tires and vice versa, mount run-flat tires for your own safety. In the event of a flat, no spare wheel is available. Your BMW center will be glad to advise you. Refer also to New wheels and tires, page 216.
The jacking points are at the positions shown in the illustration.
Vehicle battery
Battery care The battery is 100% maintenance-free, the electrolyte will last for the life of the battery when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli- mate. Your BMW center will be glad to advise in all matters concerning the battery.
Replacing the battery
Only use vehicle batteries that have been approved for your vehicle by the manu- facturer; otherwise, the vehicle could be dam- aged and systems or functions may not be fully available.< After a battery replacement, have the battery registered on the vehicle by your service center to ensure that all comfort functions are fully available.
Charging the battery Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the terminals in the engine compartment with the engine off. Connections, refer to Jump-starting on page 238.

Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and do not replace a defective fuse with a sub- stitute of another color or amperage rating; oth- erwise, this could lead to a circuit overload, ulti- mately resulting in a fire in the vehicle.<
Open the cover in the glove compartment and remove it. Plastic tweezers are located on the distributor box. See the rear of the cover for information on fuse assignment. Spare fuses are available from your BMW cen- ter.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of by your BMW center or bring them to a recycling center. Maintain the battery in an upright posi- tion for transport and storage. Always secure the battery against tipping over during trans- port.<

Giving and receiving assistance
Emergency Request* Conditions for an Emergency Request: > Full preparation package mobile phone: this
equipment makes it possible to send an Emergency Request even if no mobile phone is paired with the vehicle.
> BMW Assist is activated. Activating
BMW Assist, refer to page 190.
> Radio readiness is on. > The BMW Assist system is logged on to a
mobile phone network.
> The Emergency Request system is opera-
ble.
Once your service contract for BMW Assist expires, the BMW Assist system can be deacti- vated by a BMW center without you having to visit a workshop. Once the BMW Assist system has been deactivated, Emergency Requests are not possible. The BMW Assist system can be reactivated by a BMW center after a new contract has been signed.
Sending an Emergency Request 1. Briefly press the cover flap to open.
2. Press the SOS button until the LED in the
button lights up.
As soon as the voice connection to the BMW Assist Response Center has been established, the LED flashes. Once the BMW Assist Response Center has received your Emergency Request, the BMW Assist Response Center contacts you
and takes further steps to help you. Even if you are unable to respond, the BMW Assist Response Center will be able to initiate further steps to assist you under certain conditions. If the circumstances allow this, remain in the vehicle until the connection has been estab- lished. You will then be able to provide a detailed description of the situation. Data for determining the necessary rescue measures are transmitted to the BMW Assist Response Center, e.g. the current position of your vehicle, if it can be determined. If the LED is flashing but the BMW Assist Response Center cannot be heard over the hands-free system, it is possible that the hands-free system is malfunctioning. You may still be heard by the BMW Assist Response Center, however. Under certain conditions, an Emergency Request is sent automatically immediately after a severe accident. This Automatic Collision Notification is not affected by the button being pressed.
For technical reasons, the Emergency Request service cannot be guaranteed
for the most unfavorable conditions.<
Roadside Assistance The BMW Roadside Assistance is there to assist you around the clock in the event of a breakdown, including on weekends and public holidays. The phone numbers of Roadside Assistance in your home country can be found in the Contact brochure.

The warning triangle is located behind the left- hand trim panel in the cargo area. Press the tab to take it out.
Jump-starting If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's engine can be started by connecting two jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You can also use the same method to help start another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp handles.
Do not touch any electrically live parts when the engine is running, or a fatal acci- dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow- ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or both vehicles, and to guard against possible personal injuries.<
Preparation 1. Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 volts and approximately the same capacitance in Ah. This information can be found on the bat- tery.
2. Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles. There must not be any contact between the bodies of the two vehicles; otherwise,
there is a danger of shorting.<
The first aid pouch is located on the right-hand side of the cargo area in a storage area.

Connecting jumper cables
Connect the jumper cables in the correct order, so that no sparks which could
cause injury occur.< Your BMW has a jump-starting connection in the engine compartment which acts as the bat- tery's positive terminal, refer also to the Engine compartment overview on page 219. The cap is marked with +. 1. Pull the cap of the BMW jump-starting con-
nection up to remove.
2. Attach one terminal clamp of the plus/+
jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehi- cle providing assistance.
3. Attach the second terminal clamp of the
plus/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehicle to be started.
4. Attach one terminal clamp of the minus/–
jumper cable to the negative terminal of the battery or to an engine or body ground of the assisting vehicle. Your BMW has a special nut as body ground or negative pole.
5. Attach the second terminal clamp of the
minus/– jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the battery or to the engine or body ground of the vehicle to be started.
Starting the engine 1. Start the engine of the donor vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes at slightly increased idle speed.
2. Start the engine on the other vehicle in the
usual way. If the first start attempt is not successful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge.
3. Let the engines run for a few minutes. 4. Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing
the above connecting sequence.
If necessary, have the battery checked and recharged.
Never use spray fluids to start the engine.<
Tow-starting, towing away
Observe the applicable laws and regula- tions for tow-starting and towing vehi-
cles.<
Do not transport any passengers other than the driver in a vehicle that is being
towed.<
Using a tow fitting The screw-in tow fitting must always be carried in the car. It can be screwed in at the front or rear of the BMW. Sedan: it is stored in the onboard vehicle tool kit underneath the cover on the right-hand side of the cargo area, refer to page 229. Sports Wagon: it is stored in the onboard vehi- cle tool kit underneath the cover on the left- hand side of the cargo area, refer to page 229. Use only the tow fitting provided with the vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the tow fitting for towing on paved roads only. Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift
239
Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph or 70 km/h and a towing distance of 90 miles/150 km; otherwise, the automatic transmission may be damaged.<
Towing methods
Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or body and chassis parts; otherwise, dam-
age may result.<
With a tow bar
The towing vehicle must not be lighter than the towed vehicle; otherwise, it may
be impossible to maintain control.< The tow fittings used should be on the same side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi- ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle, please observe the following: > Clearance and maneuvering capability will
be sharply limited during cornering.
> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle
could result in damage.<
With a tow rope When starting off in the towing vehicle, make sure that the tow rope is taut.
To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps. Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could result in damage.<

5. Stop at a suitable location, remove the tow bar or rope and switch off the hazard warn- ing flashers.
6. Have the vehicle checked.
With xDrive: do not activate Hill Descent Control HDC when the vehicle is being
tow-started, page 83.<
Have the BMW transported with a tow truck with a so-called lift bar, or on a flatbed. Do not tow the vehicle with just the rear axle raised as this may cause the steering to turn.
With a tow truck: vehicle with xDrive
Do not tow a BMW with xDrive with just the front or rear axle raised; otherwise, the
wheels could lock up and the transfer case could be damaged.<
Have the BMW transported on a flatbed surface only.
Tow-starting Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi- ble; instead, jump-start the engine, refer to page 238. Vehicles with a catalytic converter should only be tow-started when the engine is cold, vehicles with an automatic transmission cannot be tow-started at all. 1. Switch on hazard warning flashers, comply
with local regulations.
2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 54. 3. Shift into 3rd gear. 4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch
depressed and slowly release the clutch.
