OBD interface socket

California laws require us to state the following warning:

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a vehicle, con- tain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of com- ponent wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead com- pounds. Wash your hands after hand- ling. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory ani- mals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.<

The interface socket for onboard diag- nostics is located on the left-hand side of the driver's side, below the instru- ment panel and under a cover panel. The cover has the letters OBD on it. This interface makes it possible to access data on emissions-related com- ponents using special equipment.

An illuminated indicator informs you of the need for service, not that you need to stop the vehi- cle. However, the systems should be checked by your BMW center at the earliest possible opportunity. If the indicator blinks or flashes, this indicates a high level of engine misfire. Reduce speed and contact the nearest BMW center immediately. Severe

engine misfiring for even a short period of time can seriously damage emission control system components, especially the catalytic converter.

Service Engine Soon warning lamp for Canadian models.

If the gas cap is not on tight enough, the OBD system can

detect leaking vapor and the indicator will light up. If the gas cap is then tight- ened, the indicator will usually go out after a short period of time.<

Lamps and bulbs

The lamps and bulbs make essential contributions to the safety of your vehi- cle. Therefore, proceed carefully when handling bulbs. BMW recommends that you have such work performed by your BMW center if you are not familiar with the procedures.

Do not touch the glass portion of a new bulb with your bare hands since even small amounts of impurities burn in to the surface and reduce the service life of the bulb. Use a clean cloth, paper napkin, or a similar mate- rial, or hold the bulb by its metallic base.<

A replacement bulb set is available from your BMW center.

Before working on the electrical system, switch off the electrical accessory you are working on or dis- connect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Failure to observe this precaution could result in short circuits. To prevent injuries and damage, com- ply with any instructions provided by the bulb manufacturer.<

Xenon lamps* The service life of these bulbs is very long and the probability of a failure is very low, provided that they are not switched on and off an unusual number of times. If one of these bulbs should nevertheless fail, it is possible to con- tinue driving with great caution using the fog lamps, provided local traffic laws do not prohibit this.

Because of the extremely high voltages involved, any work on the

xenon lighting system, including bulb- changing, should be carried out by technically-qualified personnel only. Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal injury.<

Your BMW is equipped with a spare tire or a space-saver spare tire designed for temporary use in maintaining the vehi- cle's mobility in an emergency.

To remove the spare tire, lift the floor panel in the luggage com-

partment completely out, refer to page 37.<

Safety precautions in the event of a flat tire or wheel change:

Stop the vehicle as far as possible from passing traffic. Park on a firm, flat sur- face. Switch on the hazard warning flashers. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position and engage the steering lock. Shift into 1st or Reverse, or if you have an automatic transmis- sion position the selector lever in Park, and engage the parking brake. All passengers should be outside the vehicle and well away from your imme- diate working area, behind a guardrail, for example. If a warning triangle or portable hazard warning lamp is available, set it up on the roadside at an appropriate distance from the rear of the vehicle. Comply with all local safety guidelines and reg- ulations. Change the wheel only on a level, firm surface which is not slippery. Avoid jacking the vehicle on a soft or slippery support surface – snow, ice, loose gravel, etc. – as either the vehicle or the jack could slip sideways. Position the jack on a firm support sur- face. Do not place wooden blocks or similar objects under the jack. They could pre- vent the jack from extending to its full

5. Position the jack at the jacking

point closest to the flat tire with the jack base vertically below the jack- ing point and the entire surface of the head of the jack moves into the square recess of the jacking point – refer to the detail in the next illus- tration – when the jack is cranked 6. Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are changing is raised from the ground

7. Unscrew the lug bolts and remove

the wheel

8. Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from the mounting surfaces of the wheel and hub. Clean the lug bolts

9. Position the new wheel or the

space-saver spare tire on the hub and screw at least two lug bolts fin- ger-tight into opposite bolt holes 10. Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Screw in all the bolts in diagonal pattern

11. Lower the jack and remove it from

beneath the vehicle

12. Tighten the lug bolts securely in a

diagonal pattern

13. Wheels with full wheel covers*: place the wheel cover with the valve opening over the valve. Use both hands to press the cover securely onto the rim

14. Check and correct the tire inflation pressure at the earliest opportunity. Vehicles with Flat Tire Monitor: after mounting the spare tire or correcting the tire inflation pres- sure, reinitialize the system, refer to pages 84.

Protect valve stems and valves from dirt using screw-on valve stem caps. Dirty valve stems frequently lead to slow pressure loss.

144

Changing a wheel

Run Flat tires*

Do not attempt to install the full wheel cover on the space-saver

spare tire, since this could damage the cover.<

The vehicle jack is designed for changing wheels only. Do not

attempt to raise another vehicle model with it or to raise any load of any kind. To do so could cause accidents and personal injury. To ensure continued safety, have the tightness of the torque bolts checked with a calibrated lug wrench – torque specification: 88.5 lb ft/120 Nm – at the earliest opportunity.<

When storing a wheel in the spare tire recess, take care to avoid bending the threaded rod. If the original BMW light-alloy wheels have been replaced with other light- alloy wheels, different lug bolts may be required. Replace the defective tire as soon as possible and have the new wheel/tire balanced.

Driving with the space-saver spare tire Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph / 80 km/h. Be aware that vehicle handling may be altered. Anticipate, e.g., reduced track- ing during braking, longer braking dis- tances and changed steering charac- teristics when approaching limit conditions. These handling characteris- tics will be even more pronounced if winter tires are mounted.

Only one space-saver spare tire may be mounted at one time.

Mount a wheel and tire of the original size at the earliest possible opportu- nity.<

Driving with a spare tire*

For certain wheel/tire combina- tions, the size of the spare tire will

differ from that of the remaining tires. The spare tire is fully functional at all loads and speeds. However, the spare tire should be replaced at the earliest possible opportunity in order to achieve the original operating conditions.<

Run Flat tires are labeled on the side- wall with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC. Run Flat tires consist of self-supporting tires and special rims. The tire reinforcement ensures that driving remains possible to a restricted degree in the event of pressure drop or even if the tire is deflated.

When mounting or replacing sum- mer tires with winter tires, or vice versa, use Run Flat tires since no spare wheel is available in the event of a flat. In this event, BMW recommends con- sulting your BMW center. Your BMW center has the information needed for working with Run Flat tires and is equipped with the necessary special tools.<

Driving with a damaged tire Depending on the cargo load, Run Flat tires allow you to continue driving at a maximum speed of 50 mph / 80 km/h. If there is a total loss of tire inflation pres- sure, 0 psi/0 kPa, or obvious tire dam- age, you can determine the distance you may continue driving based on the following values: > With a light load:

1 to 2 persons without luggage: approx. 150 miles/250 km

> With a medium load:

2 persons, luggage compartment full; or 5 persons without luggage: approx. 100 miles/150 km

> With a full load:

5 persons, luggage compartment full: approx. 30 miles/50 km.

Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph / 80 km/h. Be

aware that vehicle handling will be altered when there is a loss in inflation pressure. Anticipate, e.g., reduced tracking during braking, longer braking distances and changed steering char- acteristics. For safety reasons, BMW recommends not having damaged Run Flat tires repaired. In this case, consult your BMW center.<

Maintenance The battery is absolutely maintenance- free, that is, the original electrolyte will normally last for the service life of the battery under moderate climatic condi- tions.

Please consult your BMW center whenever you have any questions

concerning the battery.<

Charging the battery When charging the battery in the vehi- cle, leave the engine off at all times. Connect the charge cables to the termi- nals in the engine compartment. For terminal locations, refer to Jump-start- ing on page 147.

Disposal

Return used batteries to a recy- cling point or your BMW center. Maintain the battery in an upright posi- tion for transport and storage. Secure the battery against falling over in tran- sit.<

You will find the fuses and information on their respective allocation in the glove compartment behind a panel with two snap clips.

Do not attempt to repair a blown fuse or replace it with a fuse

having a different color or amperage rating. To do this could cause a fire in the vehicle resulting from a circuit over- load.<

Giving and receiving assistance Receiving assistance

The BMW Group's Mobile Service offers you 24-hour assistance in the event of a breakdown, even on week- ends and holidays. The telephone numbers of the Mobile Service control center in your country are listed in the BMW Dealer Directory. If your vehicle has the necessary equip- ment, you can contact the Mobile Ser- vice or issue an emergency call using buttons in the interior rearview mirror. When an emergency call is initiated, a telephone connection is established with the general emergency call center. In vehicles with activated BMW Assist function, a telephone connection is set up to the BMW Assist emergency call center. If the current location of your vehicle can be determined, this location is transmitted to the BMW Assist emer- gency call center.

If the indicator lamp is flashing but you cannot hear the emergency call center, you may still be heard by the emer- gency call center.

For technical reasons, the emer- gency call function cannot be

guaranteed in certain unfavorable con- ditions.<

If certain requirements are met, an emergency call is automatically initiated after a serious accident. The automatic emergency call will not be hindered by pressing the button.

Mobile Service* To establish contact with the BMW Group's Mobile Service: Press button 2 for at least 2 seconds. The indicator lamp above the buttons lights up. As soon as a telephone con- nection has been set up with the Mobile Service, the indicator lamp flashes. Depending on the country you are in, your vehicle's current location will also be transmitted if your vehicle is equipped with an activated BMW Assist function.

Fold down the cover. 1 Emergency call 2 Mobile Service Requirements for initiating an emer- gency call or contacting Mobile Service: > The car phone is registered with a

mobile network

> The emergency call system is opera-

tional.

Initiating an emergency call* Press button 1 for at least 2 seconds. The indicator lamp above the buttons lights up. As soon as a telephone con- nection has been set up to the main emergency call center, the indicator lamp flashes.

Jump-starting

When your battery is discharged, you can use two jumper cables to start your vehicle with power from the battery in a second vehicle. You can also use the same method to help start another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with fully insulated handles on the terminal clamps.

Do not touch high-voltage wiring and cables on a running engine.

Contact with components carrying high voltage can be harmful or fatal. Care- fully observe the following instructions to avoid personal injury and/or damage to one or both vehicles.<

Preparations 1. Check whether the battery of the support vehicle has 12 volts and approximately the same capacity – measured in Ah. This information is provided on the battery

2. Stop the engine of the support vehi-

cle

3. Switch off all electrical components

in both vehicles.

Make absolutely certain that there is no contact between the body-

work of the two vehicles, otherwise there is a short circuit hazard.<

147

2. Connect one terminal clamp of the plus/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or to an auxil- iary jump-starting terminal of the support vehicle

3. Connect the second terminal clamp

of the plus/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or to an auxiliary jump-starting terminal of the vehicle to be started

4. Your BMW is equipped with a special

nut – see arrow 2 – to serve as the ground or negative terminal. Attach a terminal clamp of the minus/– jumper cable to the negative terminal of the support vehicle's bat- tery or to a suitable ground on its engine or bodywork

5. Attach the second terminal clamp of the minus/– jumper cable to the neg- ative terminal of the battery or to a suitable ground on the engine or bodywork of the vehicle to be started.

Starting the engine 1. Start the engine of the support vehi- cle and let it run for several minutes at a slightly elevated engine idle speed

Connecting the jumper cables

Always adhere to this sequence when connecting jumper cables; failure to observe this procedure can lead to sparks at the battery terminals and pose an injury hazard.<

The auxiliary jump-starting terminal located in your BMW's engine compart- ment acts as the positive battery termi- nal. Refer to the engine compartment overview on page 124. The cover of this auxiliary terminal is marked with a +. 1. Open the cover of the BMW auxiliary jump-starting terminal. Do so by pull- ing the tab – see arrow 1

148

Jump-starting

Towing the vehicle

Always observe all applicable towing laws and regulations.<

2. Start the engine of the other vehicle

as usual. If the first start attempt is not suc- cessful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge

3. Allow the engines to run for several

minutes

4. Disconnect the jumper cables in

reverse sequence.

Depending on the cause of the fault, have the battery checked and recharged by your BMW center.

Do not use spray starter fluids to start the engine.<

Towing with a commercial tow truck > Use a wheel lift or flatbed carrier > Do not tow with sling-type equip-

ment.

Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle for any reason. Never attach tie-down hooks, chains, straps, or tow hooks to tie rods, control arms, or any other part of the vehicle suspension, as severe damage to these components will occur, possibly lead- ing to accidents.<

Towing the vehicle

Towing the vehicle with the front axle raised Vehicles with automatic transmission: 1. Towing speed: maximum 45 mph /

70 km/h

2. Towing distance: maximum

90 miles/150 km

Vehicles with sequential manual gear- box SMG: With the ignition on, move the selector lever to positon N, then turn off the igni- tion.

Towing eyelet The screw-in towing eyelet is stored in the onboard tool kit; be sure that it remains in the vehicle at all times. It can be attached at the front or rear of the vehicle. It should not be used to pull a vehicle out of deep snow, mud, sand, etc. Always observe all applicable towing laws and regulations.

149

Access to tow sockets Front: Press out the cover panel with a screw- driver inserted in the recess at the top.

Rear: Press out the cover panel with a screw- driver inserted in the recess at the top.

Use only the towing eyelet sup- plied with the vehicle and screw it

in firmly until it stops. Use the towing eyelet for towing on paved roads only. If you do not follow these instructions, the towing eyelet could be torn out and vehicle damage could occur. Never attach tie-down hooks, chains, straps, or tow hooks to tie rods, control arms, or any other part of the vehicle suspension, as severe damage to these components will occur, possibly lead- ing to accidents.<

150

Towing the vehicle

Avoid staggered towing and be careful that the towing strap is

taut before starting to drive the vehicle doing the towing.<

Use only a nylon towing strap to tow the vehicle, since the inherent resil- ience of this material helps protect both vehicles from sudden jerking move- ments.

The towed vehicle should always be the lighter of the two vehicles. If this is not the case, it will not be pos- sible to control vehicle handling.<

Tow-starting For instructions on jump-starting, refer to page 147. Never attempt to use your vehicle to push another car, since damage to the energy-absorbing bumpers could result.
