The warning lamps come on in yel- low. A message appears on the Con- trol Display. The Flat Tire Monitor has a malfunction or has failed. Have the
system checked as soon as possible.
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM*
The concept TPM checks the inflation pressures of the four mounted tires. The system notifies you if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires.
Functional requirement In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat tire, the system must be reset while all tire infla- tion pressures are correct. Always use wheels with TPM electronics. Oth- erwise, the system may malfunction.
Each time a tire inflation pressure has been corrected or a wheel or tire has been
changed, reset the system.<
System limitations
TPM cannot warn you in advance of sud- den severe tire damage caused by out-
side influences.< The system does not work correctly if it has not been reset; for example, a flat tire may be indi- cated even though the tire inflation pressures are correct. The system is inactive and cannot indicate a flat tire if a wheel without TPM electronics, such as a compact spare wheel, has been mounted, or if TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to other systems or devices using the same radio fre- quency.
91
Status indicator on the Control Display The color of the tires represents the status of the tires and the system. TPM takes into account that tire pressures change while the vehicle is being driven. The tire pressures do not need to be corrected unless the TPM instructs you to do so by means of color indicators.
Green The tire inflation pressure corresponds to the established target value. "TPM active" appears on the Control Display.
One wheel yellow There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire pres- sure in the indicated tire. A message appears on the Control Display.
All wheels yellow There is a flat tire or substantial loss of tire pres- sure in several tires. A message appears on the Control Display.
Gray The system cannot detect a puncture. Possible reasons for this: > TPM is being reset > Temporary malfunction caused by systems or devices using the same radio frequency
> Malfunction
Resetting the system
Each time a tire inflation pressure has been corrected or a wheel or tire has been
changed, reset the system.< iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16. 1. Press the

will be adapted
9. Start to drive.
The tires are shown in gray and "Resetting TPM..." is displayed.
After driving a few minutes, the set inflation pressures in the tires are accepted as the target values to be monitored. The system reset is completed during your drive, and can be inter-
rupted at any time. When driving resumes, the reset is continued automatically. On the Control Display, the tires are shown in green and "Sta- tus: TPM active" is shown again.
If a flat tire is detected while the system is resetting and determining the inflation pressures, all tires on the Control Display are displayed in yellow. The message "Tire low!" is shown.<
Message for low tire inflation pressure The warning lamps come on in yellow and red. A message appears on the Control Display. In addition, a signal sounds. There is a flat tire or substan-
tial loss of tire pressure. 1. Cautiously reduce speed to below 50 mph/ 80 km/h. Avoid sudden braking and steer- ing maneuvers. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
2.
If the car is not equipped with Run- Flat Tires, refer to page 212, the stan- dard equipment by design, do not continue driving. Otherwise a severe accident could result after a tire puncture if you continue driving.< In the event of complete pressure loss, 0 psi/0 kPa, you can estimate the possible distance for continued driving on the basis of the following guidelines: > With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage: approx. 155 miles/250 km
> With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo bay full, or 4 persons without luggage: approx. 95 miles/150 km
> With a full load:
4 or more persons, cargo bay full: approx. 30 miles/50 km Drive cautiously and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. In the event of pressure loss, vehicle handling changes. This includes reduced tracking stability in braking, extended braking distance and altered natural steering characteristics.
If unusual vibration or loud noises occur during the journey, this may be an indication that the damaged tire has finally failed. Reduce your speed and pull over as soon as possible at a suitable location. Otherwise parts of the tire could come loose, resulting in an accident. Do not continue driving. Instead, contact your BMW center.<
Malfunction
The small warning lamp flashes in yellow and then lights up continu- ously; the larger warning lamp comes on in yellow. On the Control Display,
the tires are shown in gray and a message appears. No punctures can be detected. his type of message is shown in the following situations: > If there is a malfunction
Have the system checked.
> If a wheel without TPM electronics has
been mounted
> If TPM is temporarily malfunctioning due to
other systems or devices using the same radio frequency.
Message for unsuccessful system reset
Both warning lamps come on in yel- low. A message will appear on the Control Display. The system is not reset after a tire has been changed,
for example. Check the tire inflation pressure and reset the system, refer to page 92.
Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom- mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire infla- tion pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires. As93
ing angle increases, i.e. the steering becomes very direct, and less effort is required to turn the wheels. In the higher speed range, on the other hand, the steering angle is reduced more and more. This improves the handling capability of your BMW over the entire speed range. In critical situations, the system can make tar- geted corrections to the steering angle pro- vided by the driver and thus stabilize the vehicle before the driver intervenes. This stabilizing intervention is simultaneously deactivated when DSC is switched off, refer to page 88.
Malfunction
The warning lamps come on. Active steering is no longer operational. At low speeds, greater steering wheel movements are required, whereas at
higher speeds the vehicle reacts more sensi- tively to steering wheel movements. The stabil- ity-enhancing feature may also be deactivated. Drive cautiously and think well ahead. Have the system checked. If the warning lamp lights up during the first engine starting following a power supply inter- ruption, the system must be activated by being initialized.
Brake Force Display
On the left: normal braking On the right: sharp braking
an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem, TPMS, that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are signif- icantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s han- dling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte- nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underin- flation has not reached the level at which the TPMS low tire pressure telltale illuminates. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the sys- tem detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously lit. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle startups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Active steering*
The concept Active steering varies the turning angle of the front wheels in relation to steering wheel move- ments. It also varies the steering force required to turn the wheels depending on the speed at which you are driving. When you are driving in the low road-speed range, e.g. in a town or when parking, the steer-

Airbags
The following airbags are located under the marked covers: 1 Front airbags for driver and front passenger 2 Head airbags, front and rear 3 Side airbags in the seat backrests
Protective action
Observe the adjustment instructions on page 44 to ensure the best possible per-
sonal protection.< The front airbags help protect the driver and front passenger by responding to frontal impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro- vide adequate restraint. When needed, the head and side airbags help provide protection in the event of side impact. The relevant side air- bag supports the side upper body area. The head air bag supports the head. The airbags have been designed to not be trig- gered in every collision situation, e.g. not in minor accidents or rear-end collisions.
Do not apply adhesive materials to the cover panels of the airbags, cover them or
modify them in any other way. Do not attach seat covers, cushions or other objects not spe- cifically approved for seats with integral side air- bags to the front seats. Do not hang items of clothing such as coats or jackets over the back- rests. Do not attempt to remove the airbag retention system from the vehicle. Do not mod- ify the individual components of the system or its wiring in any way. This includes the uphol- stered covers on the steering wheel, instrument panel, seats and roof posts, as well as the sides
of the roof lining. Do not attempt to remove or dismantle the steering wheel. Do not touch the individual components imme- diately after the system has been triggered, because there is a danger of burns. In the event of malfunctions, deactivation, or triggering of the airbag restraint system, have the testing, repair, removal, and disposal of air- bag generators executed only by a BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel and has the required explosives licenses. Unprofessional attempts to service the system could lead to failure in an emer- gency or undesired airbag activation, either of which could result in personal injury.< Warning notices and information about the air- bags can also be found on the sun visors.
Automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags An analysis of the impression in the front pas- senger seat cushion determines whether and how the seat is occupied. The front and side air- bags for the front passenger are activated or deactivated by the system accordingly.
The indicator lamp above the interior rearview mirror shows the current status of the front passenger airbags, deactivated or activated, refer to Status of front passenger air- bags below.
Before transporting a child on the front passenger seat, read the safety precau- tions and handling instructions under Trans- porting children safely, refer to page 53.
95
> The indicator lamp does not come on if the
seat is empty. The front and side airbags for the front pas- senger are not activated.
Operational readiness of airbag system
As of radio readiness, refer to page 57, the warning lamp comes on briefly to indicate that the entire airbag system and the belt tensioners are operational.
Airbag system malfunction > Warning lamp does not come on with the
key in radio-ready position or higher
> Warning lamp remains permanently on
In the event of a fault in the airbag system, have it checked without delay, otherwise there is the risk that the system will not function as intended even if a sufficiently severe acci- dent occurs.<
The front and side airbags can also be deacti- vated by adolescents and adults sitting in cer- tain positions; the indicator lamp for the front passenger airbags comes on. In such cases, the passenger should change his or her sitting position so that the front passenger airbags are activated and the indicator lamp goes out. If the desired airbag status cannot be achieved by changing the sitting position, transport the rele- vant passenger on a rear seat. Do not attach seat covers, seat cushion padding, ball mats or other items to the front passenger seat unless they are specifically recommended by BMW. Do not place any items under the seat which could press against the seat from below. Other- wise a correct analysis of the seat cushion is not ensured.<
Status of front passenger airbags
The indicator lamp for the front passenger air- bags shows the functional status of the front passenger's front and side airbags in accor- dance with whether and how the front passen- ger seat is occupied. The indicator lamp shows whether the front passenger airbags are acti- vated or deactivated. > The indicator lamp comes on as intended
when a child in a specially designated child- restraint system is detected on the seat. The front and side airbags for the front pas- senger are not activated.
> The indicator lamp does not come on as long as a person of sufficient size and in a correct sitting position is detected on the seat. The front and side airbags for the front pas- senger are activated.

Parking lamps In switch position 1, the front, rear and side vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the parking lamps for parking.
The parking lamps will discharge the bat- tery. Therefore, do not leave them on for unduly long periods of time, otherwise the bat- tery might not have enough power to start the engine. It is preferable to switch on the left- hand or right-hand roadside parking lamps, refer to page 99.<
Low beams The low beams light up when the light switch is in position 2 and the ignition is on. If the light switch remains in position 2, the exterior lamps are switched off automatically when the driver's door is opened while the igni- tion is off. If necessary, switch on the parking lamps as described in the section about parking lamps.
Automatic headlamp control* When the switch is in position 3, the low beams are switched on and off automatically depend-
ing on ambient light conditions, e.g. in a tunnel, in twilight, or if there is precipitation. The LED next to the symbol is illuminated when the low beams are on. When driving into tunnels with bright overhead lights, there may be a delay before the head- lamps come on. The headlamps may also come on when the sun is sitting low on a blue sky.
The low beams remain switched on inde- pendent of the ambient lighting condi- tions when you switch on the fog lamps*.< If desired, the light switch can remain in position 3. The exterior lamps are automatically switched off after the vehicle is parked.
The automatic headlamp control cannot serve as a substitute for your personal
judgment in determining when the lamps should be switched on in response to ambient lighting conditions. For example, the system cannot detect fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you should always switch on the low-beam headlamps manually under these conditions.<

Temperature
Set the desired temperatures indi- vidually for the driver's and front passenger's sides. The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as quickly as possi- ble regardless of the season, using maximum cooling or heating power if necessary, and then maintains it.
When you switch between different tem- perature settings in quick succession, the
automatic climate control does not have enough time to achieve the set temperature.<
102
Maximum cooling
At outside temperatures above 32 7/0 6 and when the engine is running, you obtain a maximum cooling effect as soon as possible. The automatic climate control switches to the lowest temperature and operates in recircu- lated-air mode. Air flows at maximum rate only from the vents for the upper body area. You should therefore open them for maximum cool- ing.
AUTO program
The AUTO program adjusts the air distribution to the windshield and side windows, towards the upper body area and into the footwell for you. The air flow rate and your temperature specifications will be adapted to outside influences as a result of seasonal changes, e.g. sunlight or window condensation. The cooling is switched on automatically with the AUTO program.

> LED off: outside air flows in continuously. > Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air. If nec- essary, the system blocks the supply of out- side air and recirculates the inside air. As soon as the concentration of pollutants in the outside air has decreased sufficiently, the system automatically switches back to outside air supply.
> Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the supply of outside air is permanently shut off. The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle.
If condensation starts to form on the inside window surfaces during operation in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch it off while also increasing the air flow rate as required. The recirculated-air mode should not be used over an extended period of time, otherwise the air quality inside the car will deteriorate contin- uously.<

Practical interior accessories
Integrated universal remote control*
HomeLink is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Inc.<
The concept The integrated universal remote control can replace as many as three hand-held transmit- ters for various remote-controlled devices, such as door openers and house alarm sys- tems. The integrated universal remote control registers and stores signals from the original hand-held transmitters. The signal of an original hand-held transmitter can be programmed on one of the three mem- ory buttons 1. After this, the programmed memory button 1 will operate the system in question. The LED 2 flashes to confirm trans- mission of the signal. Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to delete the stored programs beforehand for your safety, refer to page 108.
To prevent possible damage or injury, before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always inspect the immediate area to make certain that no peo- ple, animals or objects are within the pivoting or travel range of the device being operated. Com- ply also with the safety instructions supplied with the original hand-held transmitter.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol appears on the package or in the instructions supplied with the original hand-held transmitter, you can assume that the radio remote control device will be compatible with the integrated universal remote control. For additional information, please contact your BMW center or call: 1-800-355-3515. You can also obtain information on the Internet at: www.bmwusa.com or www.homelink.com.
Programming
1 Memory buttons 2 LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters 1. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 57. 2. When starting operation for the first time:
Press both outer memory buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes. The three memory buttons are cleared.
3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a distance of approx. 2 to 8 in/5 to 20 cm from the memory buttons 1.
The required distance between the hand-held transmitter and the mem- ory buttons 1 depends on the system of the respective original hand-held transmitter used.<
4. Simultaneously press the transmit key on the original hand-held transmitter and the desired memory button 1 on the integrated universal remote control. The LED 2 flashes slowly at first. As soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly, release both buttons. If the LED 2 does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 sec- onds, alter the distance.
5. To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
107
s
The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter. You can operate the device while the ignition is switched off.
If the device fails to function even after repeated programming, check whether
the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter- nating-code system.
