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.<
The first aid pouch is located on the right-hand side of the cargo bay in a storage area.
Sports Wagon
The first aid pouch is located in the cargo bay behind the left-hand trim panel.

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.<
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 222. 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.<
237
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 tool kit under- neath the cover on the right-hand side of the cargo bay, refer to page 228. Sports Wagon: it is stored in the onboard tool kit underneath the cover on the left-hand side of the cargo bay, refer to page 228.
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 the vehicle by the tow fitting. Otherwise the tow fitting and the vehicle could be damaged.<
Access to screw thread Rectangular cover panel in bumper: Press on the upper edges of the cover panel.

Being towed
Make sure that the ignition is switched on, refer to page 56, otherwise the low-beam
238
headlamps, tail lamps, turn signal indicators and windshield wipers may be unavailable. Power steering assistance is not available when the engine is not running. Thus, braking and steering will require increased effort. Active steering is not active and it will be necessary to turn the steering wheel further.< Switch on the hazard warning flashers, depend- ing on local regulations.
Manual transmission Gearshift lever in idle position.
Automatic transmission Selector lever in position N. Changing selector lever positions, refer to page 59.
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 In some countries, it is illegal to tow your vehicle with a tow bar or tow rope on public highways. Please familiarize yourself with the relevant towing regulations for the country in which you are driving.
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.<
Tow-starting Avoid tow-starting the vehicle whenever possi- ble; instead, jump-start the engine, refer to page 236. 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 56. 3. Shift into 3rd gear. 4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch
depressed and slowly release the clutch. After the engine starts, immediately depress the clutch completely again.
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 87.<
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.<
With a tow truck: vehicle without xDrive
Have the BMW transported with a tow truck with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed. Do not tow the vehicle with just the rear axle raised as this may cause the steering to turn. Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or body and chassis parts, otherwise dam-
age may result.<
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.
