Things to remember when driving Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km. Brake system Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐ prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized contact and wear patterns between brake pads and discs. Drive moderately during this break-in period. Clutch The function of the clutch reaches its optimal level only after a distance driven of approx. 300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period, engage the clutch gently. Following part replacement The same breaking in procedures should be ob‐ served if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.
General driving notes Closing the trunk lid
Drive with the trunk lid closed Only drive with the tailgate closed; other‐ wise, in the event of an accident or braking or evasive maneuvers, passengers or other road users may be injured or the vehicle may be dam‐ aged. In addition, exhaust fumes may enter the passenger compartment.◀ If driving with the tailgate open cannot be avoided: ▷ Close all windows and the glass sunroof. ▷ Greatly increase the blower speed. ▷ Drive moderately.
Breaking-in period General information Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to each other. The following instructions will help achieve a long vehicle life and good economy. Engine and differential Always obey the official speed limit. Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km Do not exceed the maximum engine and road speed: ▷ For gasoline engine, 4,500 rpm and
100 mph/160 km/h.
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the transmission's kickdown mode for the initial miles. From 1,200 miles/2,000 km The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be increased. Tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac‐ tion potential until after an initial breaking-in pe‐ riod.

Hot exhaust system Hot exhaust system High temperatures are generated in the
exhaust system. Do not remove the heat shields installed and never apply undercoating to them. When driv‐ ing, standing at idle and while parking, take care to avoid possible contact between the hot ex‐ haust system and any highly flammable materi‐ als such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, and with it the risk of serious personal injury as well as property damage. Do not touch hot exhaust pipes; otherwise, there is the danger of getting burned.◀
Mobile communication devices in the vehicle
Mobile communication devices in the ve‐ hicle
It is advised that you do not use mobile commu‐ nication devices, e.g., mobile phones, inside the vehicle without connecting them directly to the external antenna. Otherwise, the vehicle elec‐ tronics and mobile communication devices can interfere with each other. In addition, there is no assurance that the radiation generated during transmission will be discharged from the vehicle interior.◀
Hydroplaning On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can form between the tires and road surface. This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplan‐ ing. It is characterized by a partial or complete loss of contact between the tires and the road surface, ultimately undermining your ability to steer and brake the vehicle.
Hydroplaning When driving on wet or slushy roads, re‐
duce your speed to prevent hydroplaning.◀
Driving through water Drive though calm water only if it is not deeper than 9.8 inches/25 cm and at this height, no faster than walking speed, up to 6 mph/10 km/h. Adhere to water depth and speed limita‐ tions
Do not exceed this water depth and walking speed; otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the elec‐ trical systems and the transmission may be damaged.◀
Braking safely Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as a standard feature. Applying the brakes fully is the most effective way of braking in situations when this is neces‐ sary. The vehicle maintains steering responsiveness. You can still avoid any obstacles with a minimum of steering effort. Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from the hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is in its active mode. Objects in the area around the pedals No objects in the area around the pedals Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other objects out of the area of motion of the pedals; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be properly fixed in place. Ensure that the floor mats are securely fastened again after they were removed for cleaning, for example.◀
Driving in wet conditions When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles.

Should corrosion form on the brake discs, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating ef‐ fect that generally cannot be corrected. Condensation under the parked vehicle When using the automatic climate control, con‐ densation water develops that exits underneath the vehicle. Therefore, traces of condensed water under the vehicle are normal.
Ensure that this action does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the brake discs and pads. In this way braking efficiency will be available when you need it. Hills Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Otherwise, the brake system may overheat, resulting in a reduction in the brake system efficiency. Manual transmission: You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if necessary. Automatic transmission: You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down in the manual mode of the auto‐ matic transmission.
Avoid load on the brakes Avoid placing excessive load on the brake system. Light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and pos‐ sibly even brake failure.◀
Do not drive in neutral Do not drive in neutral or with the engine stopped, as doing so disables engine braking. In addition, steering and brake assist is unavailable with the engine stopped.◀
Brake disc corrosion Corrosion on the brake discs and contamination on the brake pads are furthered by: ▷ Low mileage. ▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not
used at all.
▷ Infrequent use of the brakes. Corrosion occurs when the minimum pressure that must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the discs is not reached.

Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
General information Overloading the vehicle To avoid exceeding the approved carrying capacity of the tires, never overload the vehicle. Overloading can lead to overheating and in‐ creases the rate at which damage develops in‐ side the tires. This could result in a sudden loss of tire inflation pressure.◀ No fluids in the trunk Make sure that fluids do not leak into the trunk; otherwise, the vehicle may be damaged.◀
Determining the load limit

Driving tips
hicle and unstable driving situations may result.
2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY pounds.
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,000 lbs and there will be four 150 lbs pas‐ sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail‐ able cargo and luggage load capacity is 400 lbs: 1,000 lbs minus 600 lbs = 400 lbs. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
Load
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of the occupants and the cargo. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo that can be transported.
1. Locate the following statement on your ve‐
hicle’s placard: ▷ The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the ve‐

Stowing cargo
Floor net The floor net can also be used to Secure the load and to store small parts.
▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward and as low as possible, ideally directly behind the cargo area separating wall.
▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each of the outer safety belts in the opposite buckle.
▷ Cover sharp edges and corners. ▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests to
stow cargo.
▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of the
backrests.
▷ Place protective material around any sharp- edged or pointed objects that could bump against the rear window while the vehicle is in motion.
Securing cargo Lashing eyes in the cargo area
To secure the cargo there are four lashing eyes in the cargo area.
Hook the floor net into the fittings in the cargo area floor.
Securing cargo ▷ Smaller and lighter items: secure with re‐ taining straps, the floor net or draw straps. ▷ Larger and heavy objects: secure with cargo
straps.
Attach the cargo straps, retaining straps or draw straps to the lashing eyes in the cargo area.
Securing cargo Always position and secure the cargo as described above; otherwise, it can endanger the car's occupants if sudden braking or swerving becomes necessary. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car; otherwise, they could be thrown around as a result of hard braking, sud‐ den swerves, etc., and endanger the occu‐ pants.◀

Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
General information Your vehicle contains advanced technology for the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐ sions. Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐ ferent factors. The implementation of certain measures, driv‐ ing style and regular maintenance can have an influence on fuel consumption and on the envi‐ ronmental impact.
Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts following use Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof or rear luggage racks which are no longer required following use. Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐ dynamics and increase the fuel consumption.
Close the windows and glass sunroof Driving with the glass sunroof and windows open results in increased air resistance and raises fuel consumption.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if necessary, correct the tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before start‐ ing on a long trip. Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐ sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and tire wear.
Drive away without delay Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate engine speeds. This is the fastest way for the cold engine to reach its operating temperature.
Look well ahead when driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle driving ahead of you. Driving smoothly and looking ahead reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid high engine speeds Use 1st gear to get the vehicle in motion. Be‐ ginning with 2nd gear, accelerate rapidly. When accelerating, shift up before reaching high en‐ gine speeds.

Driving tips
Switch off any functions that are not currently needed Functions such as seat heating and the rear win‐ dow defroster require a lot of energy and con‐ sume additional fuel, especially in city and stop- and-go traffic. Therefore, switch off these functions if they are not actually needed.
Have maintenance carried out Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve optimal vehicle economy and operating life. Have the maintenance carried out by your serv‐ ice center. Please also note the BMW Maintenance Sys‐ tem, refer to page 193.
ECO PRO The concept ECO PRO supports a driving style that saves on fuel consumption. For this purpose, the engine control and comfort functions, e. g. the climate control output, are adjusted. In addition, context-sensitive instructions can be displayed that assist in driving in a manner that optimizes fuel consumption. The extension of the range that is achieved as a result can be displayed in the instrument cluster. Activating ECO PRO
Press button repeatedly until ECO PRO is displayed in the instrument cluster.
When you reach the desired speed, shift into the highest applicable gear and drive with the en‐ gine speed as low as possible and at a constant speed. As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel consumption and reduces wear. The gear shift indicator of your vehicle indicates the most fuel efficient gear.
Use coasting conditions When approaching a red light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt. On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the ac‐ celerator and let the vehicle roll. The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
Switch off the engine during longer stops Switch off the engine during longer stops, e.g., at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic congestion. Auto Start/Stop function The Auto Start/Stop function of your vehicle au‐ tomatically switches off the engine during a stop. If the engine is switched off and then restarted rather than leaving the engine running con‐ stantly, fuel consumption and emissions are re‐ duced. Savings can begin within a few seconds of switching off the engine. Using this system can cause certain compo‐ nents of the vehicle to become worn prema‐ turely. Iin addition, fuel consumption is also determined by other factors, such as driving style, road con‐ ditions, maintenance or environmental factors.

Ethanol should satisfy the following quality standards: US: ASTM 4806–xx CAN: CGSB-3.511–xx xx: comply with the current standard in each case.
Do not refuel with ethanol E85
Do not refuel with E85, i.e., fuel with anethanol content of 85 %, or with Flex Fuel, as this would damage the engine and fuel supply sys‐ tem.◀ The engine is knock controlled. Therefore, you can refuel with different gasoline qualities.
Recommended fuel quality BMW recommends AKI 91. Minimum fuel grade BMW recommends AKI 89. Minimum fuel grade Do not use any gasoline below the mini‐ mum fuel grade as this may impair engine per‐ formance.◀ 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.
Minimum fuel grade The use of poor-quality fuels may result in harmful engine deposits or damage. Addition‐ ally, problems relating to drivability, starting and stalling, especially under certain environmental conditions such as high ambient temperature and high altitude, may occur. If drivability problems are encountered, we rec‐ ommend switching to a high quality gasoline brand and a higher octane grade — AKI number — for a few tank fills. To avoid harmful engine deposits, it is highly recommended to purchase gasoline from BP or Top Tier retailers. Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in the need for unscheduled mainte‐ nance.◀

Wheels and tires Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
Tire inflation pressure Safety information The tire characteristics and tire inflation pres‐ sure influence the following: ▷ The service life of the tires. ▷ Road safety. ▷ Driving comfort. Checking the pressure Only check the tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold. This means after driving no more than 1.25 miles/2 km or when the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. When the tires are warm, the tire inflation pressure is higher.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Regularly check the tire inflation pressure and correct it as needed: at least twice a month and before a long trip. If you fail to observe this precaution, you may be driving on tires with in‐ correct tire pressures, a condition that may not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an accident.◀ After correcting the tire inflation pressure: ▷ Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor. ▷ Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor.

Pressure specifications The tire inflation pressure table, refer to page 176, contains all pressure specifications for the specified tire sizes at the ambient tem‐ perature. Pressure specifications apply to ap‐ proved tire sizes and recommended tire brands. This information can be obtained from your service center. To identify the correct tire inflation pressure, please note the following: ▷ Tire sizes of your vehicle. ▷ Maximum permitted driving speed. Tire inflation pressures up to 100 mph/ 160 km/h For speeds of up to 100 mph/160 km/h and for optimum driving comfort, note the pressure val‐ ues in the tire inflation pressure table, refer to page 176, and adjust as necessary.
These pressure values can also be found on the tire inflation pressure label on the driver's door pillar.
Maximum permissible speed Do not exceed 100 mph/160 km/h; other‐
wise, tire damage and accidents may result.◀

Recommendation Regardless of wear, replace tires at least every 6 years. Uniform Tire Quality Grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200; Traction AA; Temperature A DOT Quality Grades Treadwear Traction AA A B C Temperature A B C All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. Treadwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov‐ ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half, 1 g, times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and cli‐ mate. Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfa‐
182
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 903 880 - 07 12 490
ces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydro‐ planing, or peak traction characteristics. Temperature The temperature grades are A, the highest, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus‐ tained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Temperature grade for this tire The temperature grade for this tire is es‐ tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐ tion, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and pos‐ sible tire failure. If necessary, have the vehicle towed.◀
RSC – Run-flat tires Run-flat tires, refer to page 185, are labeled with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC marked on the sidewall. M+S Winter and all-season tires with better cold weather performance than summer tires.
Wheels and tires Mobility
Tire tread Summer tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.12 in/3 mm. There is an increased danger of hydroplaning if the tread depth is less than 0.12 in/3 mm. Winter tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.16 in/4 mm. Below a tread depth of 0.16 in/4 mm, tires are less suitable for winter operation. Minimum tread depth
Wear indicators are distributed around the tire's circumference and have the legally required minimum height of 0.063 in/1.6 mm. They are marked on the side of the tire with TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Tire damage General information Inspect your tires often for damage, foreign ob‐ jects lodged in the tread, and tread wear. Notes Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can cause serious damage to wheels, tires and sus‐ pension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning

between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, es‐ pecially if your vehicle is equipped with low-pro‐ file tires. Indications of tire damage or other vehicle de‐ fects: ▷ Unusual vibrations during driving. ▷ Unusual handling such as a strong tendency
to pull to the left or right.
Damage can, e. g., be caused by driving over curbs, road damage, or similar things.
