2012 BMW 3 Series Coupe CONV iDrive Owners Manual

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. Coupe: it is stored in the onboard vehicle tool kit underneath the cover on the right-hand side of the cargo area, refer to page 270. Convertible: it is stored in the onboard vehicle tool kit underneath the cargo area floor, refer to page 270.

Being towed

Make sure that the ignition is switched on, refer to page 61; otherwise, the low-beam 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.<

Giving and receiving assistance

Manual transmission Gearshift lever in neutral position.

Automatic transmission Selector lever in position N. Changing selector lever positions, refer to page 64.

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.<

Sport automatic transmission with double clutch

Make sure that the parking lock P is not engaged; otherwise, the rear wheels are

immobilized. When using the car wash function, refer to page 267, note that the parking lock P is engaged automatically after approx. 30 minutes, blocking the rear wheels. In the event of an electrical malfunction or if the vehicle must be towed for more than approx. 20 minutes, unlock the parking lock manually, refer to page 69.<

When towing, do not exceed a maximum speed of 30 mph or 50 km/h and a maxi- mum distance traveled of 30 miles/50 km; oth- erwise, the 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:

280

> 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.<

With a tow truck: vehicle without xDrive Manual and automatic transmission:

Sport automatic transmission with double clutch:

Have the BMW transported with a tow truck with a so-called lift bar, or on a flatbed.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 609 333 - © 08/11 BMW AGGiving and receiving assistance Mobility

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 278Vehicles with a catalytic converter should only be tow-started when the engine is cold; vehicles with an automatic transmission or Sport automatic transmission with double clutch cannot be tow-started at all. 1. Switch on hazard warning flashers, comply

with local regulations.

2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 61. 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 99.<
