cuits are all indicated below the fuse holder. To close the fuse holder, snap it into position at the top and turn the two fasteners inward.
Do not attempt to repair a burned- out fuse or replace it with a fuse with a different color or ampere rating. Doing this could cause a fire in the ve- hicle resulting from a circuit overload.<
If a fuse blows repeatedly, refer the problem to your BMW center for repair.
Manual release Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol (arrow) on the right trim panel of the luggage compartment.

Jump-starting
Do not use spray starter fluids to start the engine. If the battery is drained, the engine can be started using two jumper cables and another vehicle's battery. Use only jumper cables with fully insulated handles on the terminal clamps.
Do not touch the parts conducting electrical current while the engine
is running. Failure to comply with this creates a risk of fatal injury.<
Carefully comply with the following in- structions to avoid personal injury or damage to one or both vehicles: 1 Be sure that the battery on the sup- port vehicle is also rated at 12 volts, and that the capacities of the two batteries (Ah) are roughly comparable (printed on casing)
2 Leave the drained battery connected
to the vehicle's electrical system
3 Make sure that there is no contact between the bodywork of the two vehicles – short circuit risk!
4 Start by connecting the jumper cable from the positive terminal of the sup- port vehicle to the positive terminal connector located in your BMW's engine compartment. The cover of the auxiliary terminal for jump-start-
ing is identified by a "+" sign. Refer to the illustration. Remove by pulling the tab (arrow 1)
5 Then connect the negative terminals. Attach the cable to either the support vehicle's negative battery terminal (–), or to a suitable ground on its engine or bodywork. Then connect the other end of the cable to a ground on the engine or on the bodywork of the ve- hicle that is to be started. There is a special nut provided for this on the BMW (arrow 2)
Follow the same sequence for connecting the jumper cables
when helping other vehicles. If you do not, there is the risk of injury if sparks are generated at the battery.<
6 Start the support vehicle's engine
and let it run
7 Start the engine on the vehicle need- ing the jump-start, and allow it to run as usual. If the first start attempt is not successful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the drained battery to recharge
8 Before disconnecting the jumper
cables from your BMW, turn on the rear window defroster and set the blower to the highest speed; allow the engine to run approx. 10 seconds. This will prevent a voltage surge from the voltage regulator to the electrical accessories
9 Then disconnect the jumper cables in
reverse sequence.
Depending on the reason for the mal- function, recharge the battery.
Towing the vehicle
169n
Tow fitting The screw-in tow fitting is stored in the onboard tool kit; be sure that it remains in the vehicle at all times. This fitting is designed for installation in the tow sockets located at the front and rear of the vehicle. It is intended for towing on paved road surfaces only. This fitting should not be used to pull a vehicle out of deep snow, mud, sand, etc. Always comply with all applicable towing laws and regulations.
Access to tow sockets Front: Using a screwdriver, press out the cover panel on the top part of the recess.
Rear: Using a screwdriver, press out the cover panel on the top part of the recess.
Screw the tow fittings in com- pletely and tightly. If you do not,
the threads could be damaged. Do not tow the vehicle by any compo- nents of the running gear, or lash them down in any way. If you do, the compo- nents could be damaged, leading to possible accidents.<
Towing with a commercial tow truck > Do not tow with sling-type equipment > Use wheel lift or flat bed equipment > Please comply with applicable state
towing laws.
Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle for any reason.
Never attach tie-down hooks, chains, straps, or tow hooks to the tie rods, control arms, or any other part of the vehicle suspension. If you do so, severe damage will occur to these compon- ents.c

Technology
In order to include driving conditions in its calculations, ATC registers curves and both uphill and downhill gradients. For example, if you maintain speed through a curve, the transmission does not shift up. On uphill gradients, it shifts up only when the engine speed increases in order to make more efficient use of power reserves. On downhill gradients, ATC shifts down when the speed of the vehicle increases and the driver must apply the brakes.
172n
ATC*
For vehicles with automatic transmis- sion*, Adaptive Transmission Control (ATC) makes the optimum gear selec- tion based on a number of factors. In this process, it considers your individ- ual driving style as well as current driving conditions. ATC recognizes your personal driving style from the positions and movements of the accelerator pedal, deceleration when braking, and lateral acceleration through curves. ATC makes the appro- priate selection based on various shift characteristics, which range from com- fort- to performance-oriented.
Airbags
DSC
173n
Deceleration sensors continuously monitor the acceleration forces acting upon the vehicle. If, as the result of a frontal collision, a deceleration is reached at which the protection of the safety belts alone is no longer ade- quate, the gas generators of the driver and passenger-front airbags are ignited. However, the passenger-side airbag is only triggered if an additional sensor has recognized that the passenger seat is occupied. In the event of a side collision, the side airbags in the front are triggered if necessary.
The airbags located under the marked covers inflate and unfold in a matter of a few milliseconds. In this process, they tear through the designed separation points of the upholstered covers or press them out. Because the inflation process must be virtually instantaneous, it is necessarily accompanied by a certain amount of ignition and inflation noise. The gas required to inflate the airbags is not dangerous, and the smoke associated with it dissipates. The entire process is completed within fractions of a second.
Highly sensitive sensors monitor the wheel speeds, steering angle, lateral acceleration, brake pressure and the movement of the vehicle around its vertical axis. If differences in the wheel speeds occur, the system counteracts the danger of wheelspin by reducing torque. If neces- sary, the system also responds with additional brake applications at the rear wheels. In addition, DSC permanently monitors the vehicle's current operating condition and compares it with an ideal condition that is calculated from the sensor sig- nals. If deviations from this occur (un- dersteering or oversteering, for in- stance), DSC can stabilize the vehicle in fractions of a second by reducing engine output and with the assistance of brak- ing intervention at individual wheels. As a result, most skids can be preven- ted from their very onset. You may need some time to become accustomed to this system intervention. However, it provides optimum drive force and vehicle stability. The braking intervention may be accompanied by sounds specific to the system.
174nRadio reception
Safety belt tensioner
The limitations inherent to radio recep- tion in a moving vehicle have been min- imized by a number of innovative sys- tem designs: The "Radio Data System" (RDS) makes sure that, for stations broadcasting on several frequencies, the radio automati- cally tunes to the frequency with the best reception quality. With the Diversity Antenna system, sev- eral FM antennas are integrated within the convertible top compartment lid to provide three separate sources for re- ceiving broadcast waves. An integral processor automatically selects the an- tenna with the best FM reception qual- ity at any given time. The selection of the antenna takes place within millisec- onds, and is therefore not noticed by the radio listener.
The safety belt tensioners respond to severe head-on collisions by tightening the belts to ensure that occupants remain firmly positioned in their seats. A gas-pressure system retracts the buckle assembly to tension the shoul- der and lap belts within fractions of a second. This reduces the tendency to slide under the lap belt.
The AM frequency bands (medium- wave, long-wave and short-wave) make it possible to receive stations from a great distance, because the broadcast signals travel not only along the ground as surface waves, but also as atmospheric waves that are re- flected from the ionosphere. Frequency-modulation (FM) provides substantially better sound quality than the other frequencies. However, because FM transmissions rely on line- of-sight broadcast waves, their effec- tive reception range is limited.
Interior rearview mirror with automatic dimmer*
175n
The semisolid reacts chemically to this electrical current, dimming the mirror through an infinitely-variable range (electrochromic technology). As a result, it is no longer necessary to dim the mirror manually, and the driver can concentrate completely on traffic conditions.
The interior rearview mirror with auto- matic dimming feature reduces glare by adapting the intensity of the reflected images to correspond to levels of light registered by the unit's sensors. The mirror reverts to its undimmed setting as soon as the light source disappears. One light sensor is mounted on the front of the mirror housing. This sensor, the one that is directed forward, measures light intensity in the area ahead of the vehicle. The second sensor is inte- grated within the mirror's glass. The electronic control system compares the light intensity from front and rear. The difference provides the basic parameter used to modulate an electrical current and induce chemical changes in a semi- solid layer incorporated in the lens.
176nRain sensor*
When the system is set to the "Intermit- tent" wiper speed, the wipers react im- mediately – if water is splashed onto the windshield by vehicles traveling ahead of you, for example. As a result, the rain sensor contributes to driving safety and comfort.
Depending on how wet the windshield is, the rain sensor controls the opera- tion of the windshield wipers. Infrared light is carried along the sur- face of the windshield in an optical con- ductor in such a manner that it is re- flected completely when the windshield is dry. The quantity of reflected light is measured. If there is moisture on the glass, the amount of light reflected is reduced since the infrared light at the surface of the windshield can escape. The quan- tity of reflected light is thus a means of gauging the degree of wetness on the windshield.
Tire Pressure Control (RDC)*
177n
There is an antenna located right near every wheel in the vehicle body. Each antenna picks up signals from its re- spective wheel. A central electronics system evaluates all four signals and forwards any changes. The RDC pro- vides an important contribution to driving safety.
This system regularly checks tire pres- sure and monitors all four tires even while driving, so you don't have to. Behind the valve stem in every wheel, there is an electronic chip that is de- signed for severe-duty applications and long service life. It contains a pressure sensor, a transmitter and a battery. The pressure is measured in extremely short time intervals and then transmitted by a radio signal. If an irregularity is detected, the transmis- sion rate is increased.
The sounds the automatic climate con- trol makes as it carries out its self-diag- nostics are noticeable because of the noise that the ventilation flaps make af- ter the ignition has been switched off. All of the other self-diagnostics func- tions operate silently in the back- ground. Any possible defects detected during these self-diagnostics can be read out by your BMW center and quickly cor- rected during the vehicle's next regu- larly scheduled maintenance.
178nSelf-diagnostics
All of the important electrical and elec- tronic systems in the vehicle are tested regularly and automatically; the driver does not have to perform any extra operations or adjustments. The indicator lamps come on briefly when the ignition is switched on. While you are driving, the functional status of the actuator motors (for the windshield wipers, power windows, seats, etc.) is constantly analyzed by current measurements in their relays.
In the same manner, the electrical re- sistance of the airbag ignition genera- tors and all of the remaining airbag components is measured at all times. Any fault in this system would be de- tected immediately by a current fluctua- tion that would necessarily accompany it. The fault would be indicated immedi- ately by the airbag warning lamp. Even after you shut off the engine, the overall functional status of your vehicle is being monitored. For example, all of the flaps for the heating and ventilation system travel to the nearest limit posi- tion. This action ensures that in any case, the defrosting function will remain intact, even if a malfunction in the auto- matic climate control should occur dur- ing the night while the vehicle is parked. A calibration cycle runs every tenth time the engine is shut off. During this cycle, the actuator motors of all the heating and ventilation flaps travel to their limit stops in both directions. The limit posi- tions and the return travel paths are checked in this manner in order to en- sure that appropriate adjustments for the operating elements can be made at any time.
Rollover protection system Xenon lamps*
179n
The rollover protection system offers additional protection apart from the air- bags and safety belts. The system has highly sensitive sensors that react im- mediately upon detecting an unstable vehicle condition, i.e. when the vehicle is tilted to a critical degree, or if the wheels are not making proper ground contact. In this kind of situation, the protective bar in each rear head restraint is triggered.
Xenon lamps illuminate the side and front areas of the vehicle with signifi- cantly more brightness and uniformity than the traditional halogen lamp. In a xenon lamp, an electric arc re- places the filament in order to generate intense illumination. A gas mixture in a quartz glass tube with metal vapor is ignited by a high electric voltage. The arc that is generated is then sustained by a lower voltage. When the lamp is turned on there is a brief warm-up period. Maximum brightness is attained in approx. 15 seconds.
Xenon lamps provide significantly im- proved visibility, especially during ad- verse weather and poor driving condi- tions e.g. driving at night in heavy rain or through road repair areas where there are no lane markers. Vehicles with xenon lamps are equipped with automatic headlamp range control. As a result, the highway is always opti- mally lighted, regardless of road condi- tions, and drivers in oncoming traffic are not blinded. Xenon lamps make a significant contri- bution to highway safety since pedestri- ans and other highway users, bicyclists and motorcyclists in the right lane, are more easily detected.
