Messages
General information The displaying of text messages and emails from the mobile phone depends on whether the mobile phone supports transmission into the vehicle from the mobile phone. Text messages and e-mails may not be supported by the ser- vice provider or the function may have to be separately activated. After a mobile phone is paired for the first time, the transmission may take several minutes. Messages are only dis- played completely when the vehicle is stopped. Messages from the auxiliary phone are not transmitted. To display various messages: > Text messages. > Messages from My info. > Messages from the BMW Concierge ser-

Vehicle equipment In this chapter, all production, country, and optional equipment that is offered in the model range is described. For this reason, descrip- tions will be given of some equipment that may not be available in a vehicle, for example due to the special options or national-market version selected. This also applies to safety related functions and systems.
General information
Always switch off the engine before refu- eling; otherwise, fuel cannot be added to
the tank and a message will be displayed.< Take all precautionary measures and observe all applicable regulations when handling fuel. Do not carry any spare fuel con- tainers in your vehicle. They can develop a leak and cause an explosion or cause a fire in the event of an accident.<
Closing Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly hear a click.
Do not pinch the band attached to the cap; otherwise, the cap cannot be closed
properly and fuel vapors can escape. A mes- sage will be displayed if the fuel cap is loose or missing.<
Manually releasing the fuel filler flap In the event of a malfunction, you can release the fuel filler flap manually:

Refueling Mobility
1. Loosen the right-hand cargo area trim panel
by turning the screws by 90°, see arrow.
2. Slightly lift the top section of the panel. It is
not necessary to remove the entire panel. 3. Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol.
The fuel filler flap is released.
Observe the following when refueling When handling fuels, follow the safety instructions provided at filling stations; otherwise, there is a risk of personal injury or property damage.< When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com- pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid lifting the filler nozzle while filling the tank, as that would lead to > Premature pump shutoff > Reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor recov-
ery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks off the first time.
Fuel tank capacity Approx. 16.1 US gal/61 liters, including the reserve capacity of 2.1 US gal/8 liters.
Refuel as soon as possible once your cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km; otherwise, engine functions are not ensured and damage can occur.<
Gasoline engine: required fuel Never use fuels labeled at the fuel pump as metal-containing.
Do not use leaded gasoline or gasoline with metal-containing additives doing so can cause permanent damage to the catalytic converter or other components.<
Do not fill the tank with E85, i.e. fuel con- taining 85Ξ ethanol, nor with FlexFuel. Otherwise, the engine and fuel supply system will be damaged.<
Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 91
BMW recommends AKI 91.Gasoline with lower AKI The minimum AKI Rating is: > 328i/xDrive: 87
> 335i, 335i/xDrive: 89. If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI Rat- ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high outside temperatures. This has no effect on the engine life.Do not use any gasoline below the speci- fied minimum fuel grade. Otherwise, the
engine could be damaged.<
Use high-quality brands Field experience has indicated significant dif- ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. Fuels contain- ing up to and including 10Ξ ethanol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8Ξ oxygen by weight, that is, 15Ξ MTBE or 3Ξ methanol plus an equivalent amount of cosolvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.

Refueling
The use of poor-quality fuels may result in drivability, starting and stalling problems especially under certain environmental condi- tions 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 such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these recommendations may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<

Tire inflation pressures
Information for your safety It is not merely the tires' service life, but also driving comfort and, to a great extent, driving safety that depend on the condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire pres- sure.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly and correct it, if necessary: at least twice a month and before starting long trips. If you fail to observe this precaution you may be driving on tires with incorrect tire pressures, a condi- tion that can not only compromise your vehi- cle's driving stability, but also lead to tire dam- age and the risk of an accident. Do not drive with deflated, i.e. flat tires, except when using run-flat tires. A flat tire will seriously impair your vehicle's handling and braking response. Attempts to drive on a flat tire can lead to loss of control over the vehicle.<
Checking pressure Only check tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold. This means after a maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km driving or when the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. When tires are warm, the tire inflation pressure is higher.

page 103, or reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to page 100.<
Inflation pressure specifications The tables below provide all the correct inflation pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient temperature.
The inflation pressures apply to the tire sizes approved and tire brands recom- mended by BMW; a list of these is available from your BMW center.< For correct identification of the right tire infla- tion pressures, observe the following: > Tire sizes for your vehicle > Maximum allowable driving speed
Tire inflation pressures for driving up to 100 mph or 160 km/h For normal driving up to 100 mph or 160 km/h and to achieve optimum driving comfort, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pres- sures listed on the following pages in the col- umns for traveling speeds up to a maximum of 100 mph or 160 km/h. These tire inflation pressures can also be found on the driver's side door pillar when the driver's door is open.
The maximum permissible speed for these tire pressures is 100 mph or
After correcting the tire inflation pressure, reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to
160 km/h. Do not exceed this speed; otherwise, tire damage and accidents could occur.<

Tire inflation pressures for driving above 100 mph or 160 km/h
In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess of 100 mph or 160 km/h, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pres- sures listed on the following pages in the col- umns for traveling speeds including those exceeding 100 mph or 160 km/h. Otherwise, tire damage and accidents could occur.< Observe all national and local maximum speed limits; otherwise, violations of the laws could occur.
