Things to remember when driving
Break-in period Moving parts need breaking-in time to adjust to each other. Please follow the instructions below in order to achieve the optimal service life and economy of operation for your vehicle.
Engine and differential Always obey all official speed limits.
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km Attempt to vary both engine and vehicle speeds, but refrain from exceeding an engine speed of 4,500 rpm or a driving speed of 100 mph or 160 km/h. Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the transmission's kick-down mode.
After 1,200 miles/2,000 km Engine and vehicle speeds can be gradually increased.
Sequential manual gearbox SMG Do not use the acceleration assistant during the break-in period, page 47.
Tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac- tion potential until after an initial break-in period. Therefore, drive cautiously during the first 200 miles/300 km.
Brake system Brakes require an initial break-in period of approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized contact and wear patterns between brake pads and rotors. Drive cautiously during this break-in period.
Clutch The function of the clutch reaches its optimal level only after a distance driven of approx.
98
300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period, engage the clutch gently.
Following part replacement The same break-in procedures should be observed if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.
General driving notes
Close the luggage compartment lid
Operate the vehicle only when the lug- gage compartment lid is closed. Other-
wise, exhaust fumes could enter the interior of the vehicle.< If special circumstances make it absolutely nec- essary to drive with the luggage compartment lid open: 1. Close all windows and the glass sunroof. Increase the air flow rate of the air condi- 2. tioner or automatic climate control consid- erably, refer to page 81 or 84.
Hot exhaust system
In all vehicles, extremely high tempera- tures are generated in the exhaust sys- tem. Do not remove the heat shields installed adjacent to various sections of the exhaust sys- tem, and never apply undercoating to them. When driving, standing at idle and while park- ing, take care to avoid possible contact between the hot exhaust system and any highly flammable materials such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, with the risk of serious personal injuries and property damage.<
Mobile phone in the vehicle
BMW discourages the use of mobile communications devices, e.g. mobile
phones, inside the vehicle without a direct con-
nection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, the vehicle electronics and mobile communication device can influence one another. In addition, there is no assurance that the radiation which results from transmission will be dissipated from the vehicle interior.<
Interior and exterior mirrors, automatic dimming feature*
The automatic dimming feature of the interior and exterior mirrors* is controlled by two photo cells in the interior rearview mirror. One photo cell is in the mirror frame, see arrow; the other is on the back of the mirror. In order to ensure that the system functions correctly, keep the photo cells clean, do not cover the area between the interior rearview mirror and windshield, and do not affix adhesive labels or stickers of any kind to the windshield directly in front of the mirror.
Hydroplaning
When driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce road speed. If you do not, a wedge
of water can form between tires and road sur- face. This situation, known as hydroplaning, means that the tire can completely lose contact with the road surface, so that neither the car can be steered nor the brake be properly applied.< The risk of hydroplaning increases with declin- ing tread depth on the tires, refer also to Mini- mum tread depth on page 115.
Driving through water
Drive through water on the road only if it is not deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only
at walking speed at the most. Otherwise, the
vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the transmission may be damaged.<
Use the handbrake on inclines
On inclines, do not hold the vehicle with the clutch; use the handbrake. Otherwise
greater clutch wear will result.<
Sequential manual gearbox SMG
On uphill slopes, drive off without delay. Do not hold the vehicle in place by
depressing the accelerator pedal; apply the handbrake instead. Otherwise, the transmis- sion could overheat.< Also use the drive-off assistant, refer to page 71.
Braking safely Your BMW is equipped with ABS as a standard feature. Applying the brakes fully is the most effective way of braking in situations in which this is necessary. Since the vehicle maintains steering responsiveness, you can still avoid possible obstacles with a minimum of steering effort. Pulsation of the brake pedal, combined with sounds from the hydraulic circuits, indicate that ABS is in its active mode.
Driving in wet conditions When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure that this maneuver does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the pads and rotors to ensure that full braking efficiency will then be available when you need it.
Hills
To prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system,
drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Even light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.<
99
g
You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, all the way to first gear if neces- sary. This strategy helps you avoid placing excessive loads on the brake system. Down- shifting in manual mode of the automatic trans- mission, refer to page 48.
Never drive with the clutch held down, with the transmission in idle or with the
engine switched off; otherwise, engine braking action will not be present or there will be no power assistance to the brakes or steering. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the pedals, otherwise pedal function could be impaired.<
Corrosion on brake rotors When the vehicle is driven only occasionally, during extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all, and in operating conditions where brake applications are less frequent, there is an increased tendency for corrosion to form on rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the brake pads. This occurs because the minimum pressure which must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the rotors is not reached. Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating effect that even extended application will fail to cure.
When the vehicle is parked Condensation forms while the automatic cli- mate control is in operation, and then exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water under the vehicle are therefore normal.
Before driving into a car wash For general information about taking care of your BMW, refer to the Caring for your vehicle brochure.
With convenient access and automatic transmission Insert the remote control into the ignition switch.
100
The engine can be switched off when the selec- tor lever is in position N. Refer also to page 27.
Cargo loading
To avoid loading the tires beyond their approved carrying capacity, never over- load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over- heating and increases the rate at which damage develops inside the tires. The ultimate result can assume the form of a sudden blow-out.<
Determining loading limit
1. Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard*:
The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, overloading can result in damage to the vehicle and unstable driving conditions.<
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 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lbs. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.: 1,400 lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 650 lbs.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available
Securing cargo
6.
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the manual for transporting a trailer to determine how this may reduce the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
Load
The permissible load is the total of the weight of occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo/lug- gage can be transported.
Stowing cargo
> Position heavy objects as low and as far for- ward as possible, ideally directly behind the respective seat backs.
> Cover sharp edges and corners. > For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each safety belt in the opposite buckle.
> Smaller and relatively light items can be retained with tensioning straps or draw straps*.
> Heavy-duty cargo straps* for securing
larger and heavier objects are available at your BMW Center. Four lashing eyes are provided for attaching the cargo straps. Two are located on the inside rear wall of the luggage compartment 1, and two others are on the side walls of the luggage com- partment 2. Comply with the information provided with the cargo straps.
Always position and secure the cargo as described above, so that it cannot endan- ger the car's occupants, for example if sudden braking or swerves are necessary. Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 150, as excessive loads can pose a safety hazard, and may also place you in viola- tion of traffic safety laws. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car, since they could be thrown around, for example as a result of heavy braking, sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occu- pants.<
Roof-mounted luggage rack* A special rack system is available as an option for your BMW. Comply with the precautions included with the installation instructions.
101
g
Mounting points
Open the covers.
Loading roof-mounted luggage rack Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle handling and steering response. You should therefore always remember not to exceed the approved roof load capacity, the approved gross vehicle weight or the axle loads when loading the rack. You can find the specified weights on page 150. The roof load must be uniformly distributed and should not be too large in area. Heavy items should always be placed at the bottom. Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for rais- ing the glass sunroof, and that objects do not project into the opening path of the luggage compartment lid. Secure roof-mounted cargo correctly and securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off during the trip. Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.

A message will be displayed if the gas cap is loose or missing.<
Manually releasing the fuel filler door In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can release the fuel filler door manually:
Fuel tank capacity Approx. 16.1 US gallons/61 liters, including the reserve capacity of 2.1 US gallons/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.<
Fuel specifications
Do not fill the tank with leaded fuel, as this would cause permanent damage to the
catalytic converter.<
106
Required fuel
Premium Unleaded Gasoline The minimum octane rating is 91. If you use gasoline with this minimum octane rating, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high outside tempera- tures. This has no affect on the engine life. Minimum octane rating corresponds to the Anti Knock Index AKI and is determined according to the so-called (R+M)/2 method.
Do not fill the tank with leaded fuel, as this would cause permanent damage to the
catalytic converter.<
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 10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight, that is, 15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of co-solvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.
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. Failure to comply with these recommendations may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<

Wheels and tires
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.
After correcting tire inflation pressures, always reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor,
refer to page 72.<
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
108
> Load conditions > 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 post when the driver's door is open.
The maximum permissible speed for these tire pressures is 100 mph or
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.
