TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService TeleService supports you when communicat- ing with a BMW Center. The built-in car phone can be used to transmit data on the service sta- tus of your vehicle or legally mandated inspec- tions directly to your BMW Center. This is the same data that is also stored for CBS Condition Based Service in the remote control. Your BMW Center can then contact you, and you can make an appointment that suits you while you are still on the road. Your advantage here is that your BMW Center can prepare in advance for the required maintenance work. The TeleService functions are country-specific: depending on the country in which you are driving, data on your vehicle's service status or legally man- dated inspections are transmitted to your BMW Center either automatically before a service due date or when you place a call to the BMW Cen- ter. Your BMW Center will be glad to provide more detailed information.
BMW Assist BMW Assist provides you with other services in addition to TeleService. For example, the posi- tion data of your vehicle can be transferred to the BMW Assist response center if an emer- gency call* has been initiated. Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the individually agreed contract. Data transmission, e.g. of the CBS Condition Based Service, differs from country to country. A subscriber contract for BMW Assist must be signed and enabling must be completed before you can use BMW Assist. If your subscription contract with BMW Assist expires, the car phone can be deactivated by a BMW Center without having to schedule an appointment at a workshop. Once the car phone has been deactivated, emergency calls are not possible. The car phone can be reacti-
178
vated by a BMW Center after signing a new contract. You can also utilize BMW Assist services via the Internet. The range of services offered is expanded continually.
Requirements You can use TeleService or BMW Assist when the following requirements are met: > The installed car phone is logged on to a mobile telephone network. This network must be capable of transmitting the ser- vices.
> To transmit position data, the vehicle must be able to determine the current position. This can be displayed on the Control Dis- play.
> A GPS signal must be available in order for TeleService or BMW Assist to be enabled and updated.

Closing Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly hear a click.
Do not jam the strap attached to the gas cap between the gas cap and the vehicle.
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.<
186
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 88.<
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
188
> 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.
