N Neutral Select N only if your journey is interrupted for a long period.
D Drive – automatic driving position Position for normal vehicle operation. All forward gears are available.
Under normal operating conditions, fuel consumption is lowest when driving in position D.
Kickdown A kickdown provides you with maximum acceleration and the maximum road speed in position D. Press the accelerator pedal beyond the full-throttle resistance point.
M/S manual operation and Sport program
Shifting from D into M/S activates the Sport program and this is indicated with DS in the gear display. This position is recom- mended if a performance-oriented driving style is desired. The first time the selector lever is even slightly touched, the automatic transmis- sion shifts from the Sport program into manual operation. If you start to move the selector lever towards +, the transmission shifts upwards; moving it towards – it shifts downwards. The gear display shows M1 through M6. Upshifts and downshifts are executed only when they will result in a plausible combi- nation of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example, a downshift that would cause the engine to overrev will not be executed by the system. The selected gear appears briefly in the instrument cluster, followed by the current gear.
To obtain maximum acceleration, for passing maneuvers, etc., during operation in the manual mode, use the kickdown or downshift manually.<

Shifting from M/S to the selector-lever positions P, R and N is only possible by going through D.
Malfunctions
Indicator lamp
If the indicator lamp lights up, a malfunction has occurred in the transmission system.
While it will remain still possible to move the selector lever to any desired position, the transmission will revert to operation in its default mode with only a limited number of forward gears. If this happens, avoid extreme engine loads and consult the nearest BMW center. Information on jump-starting and towing begins on page 192.
Turn signal indicators/ headlamp flasher
If the flashing indicator lamp and the clicking from the relay are both faster than normal, this indicates that one of the turn signal indicator bulbs is defective.<

The system automatically reverts to operation in the intermittent mode whenever the vehicle stops. Fast wiper speed: briefly press twice or press beyond the resistance point. The system automatically reverts to operation in the standard wipe mode whenever the vehicle stops
2 To switch off wipers or for brief wipe 3 To activate/deactivate rain sensor 4 To clean windshield and headlamps 5 To adjust rain sensor sensitivity level The lever automatically returns to its initial position when released.
Cleaning the windshield and headlamps* The system sprays washer fluid against the windshield and activates the wipers for a brief period. When the vehicle lighting system is switched on, the headlamps are also cleaned at regular and appropriate inter- vals.
Do not use the washers if there is any danger that the fluid will freeze on the windshield. If you do so, your vision could be obscured. To avoid freezing, use a washer fluid antifreeze, refer to Washer fluid. Avoid activating the washer when the reservoir is empty, as damage to the pump could result.<
Windshield washer nozzles The windshield washer nozzles are auto- matically heated in ignition key position 2.
Rain sensor The rain sensor controls windshield wipe operation depending on the amount of rain. The rain sensor is located on the wind- shield, directly in front of the interior rear- view mirror.
Activating the rain sensor
As of ignition key position 1, briefly press the button. The indicator lamp in the button lights up. The wipers will always respond by completing at least one sweep of the windshield.
Adjusting rain sensor sensitivity level Turn the serrated dial 5.
Deactivating the rain sensor Briefly press the button again. The indica- tor lamp goes out. The rain sensor is automatically deacti- vated when you switch off the ignition. Deactivate the rain sensor when passing through an automatic car
wash. Failure to do so could result in dam- age caused by undesired wiper activa- tion.<
Washer fluid
Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable. Always keep it well away from sparks
and open flames, and store it in tightly closed containers well out of the reach of
57
children. Always observe the instructions for use provided on the containers.<
One lever for all functions
Washer fluid reservoir
Capacity: approx. 3.2 US quarts/3 liters for the windshield washer system or approx. 5.3 US quarts/5 liters in conjunction with headlamp washer system. Fill with water and – if required – with a washer antifreeze, according to manufac- turer's recommendations.
In order to keep to the mixture ratio, mix the washer fluid before filling.<
Cruise control*
The concept The cruise control is available for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h and higher. The vehicle maintains and stores the speed that you set using the lever mounted on the steering column.
Do not use the cruise control when driving on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or in poor road conditions – e.g. snow, rain, ice, loose road surface – that do not permit a constant speed.<
58
1 Maintaining and storing speed, accelerating Press the lever up to the resistance point: The current speed is maintained and stored. The display 1 in the speedometer indicates this regulated speed, refer to page 59. Every time you briefly press the lever, the vehicle's speed increases by roughly 1 mph/1 km/h. Press the lever for longer: The vehicle accelerates without pressure on the accelerator pedal. The system main- tains and stores your current speed as soon as you release the lever. Press the lever beyond the resistance point: Speed is increased by 5 mph/10 km/h. The vehicle may accelerate beyond the regulated speed on steep downhill stretches where the engine's braking effect alone may not be sufficient to slow the vehicle. Speed can drop on uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient.
2 Maintaining and storing speed, decelerating Pull the lever up to the resistance point: Functions same as 1, only the vehicle speed is reduced.
3 Interrupting cruise control With the cruise control active, briefly press the lever up or down. In addition, cruise control is interrupted automatically > when you apply pressure to the brake
pedal
> when you press the clutch or engage position N of the automatic transmis- sion
> when the DSC system is in active oper-
ation.
4 Recalling stored speed Press button 4 briefly: the vehicle acceler- ates to and maintains the last speed stored.
Deactivating system When the ignition is switched off, the sys- tem is deactivated and the stored speed is deleted.

Appears briefly when you select your desired speed.
Active cruise control*
The concept With active cruise control you can select a desired speed which is not only automati- cally maintained when driving on open roadways, but also varied to maintain a selected distance setting as slower traffic is encountered. Active cruise control is a technological advance over the familiar cruise control and is a welcome relief from the constant adjustment of speed that can accompany driving in traffic on freeways or other high- speed thoroughfares. Especially on longer trips, the system can reduce fatigue and tension, while increasing your enjoyment of
driving. Please use it safely and responsi- bly. In addition to holding a steady cruising speed, if you do encounter slower vehicles ahead, active cruise control will, within the scope of given possibilities, adjust your vehicle’s speed automatically so that you can flow with the traffic without frequent intervention by the driver. If, for example, while cruising at the selected speed, you begin to approach a slower vehicle ahead of you in the same lane, the system will reduce your vehicle's speed to the same as that of the vehicle ahead to maintain your selected distance setting between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. There are four settings for distance, which is addi- tionally speed-dependent. Based on your selected distance setting, the system auto- matically decreases the throttle setting and lightly applies the brakes if necessary. The vehicle brake lamps will automatically illu- minate to signal a following driver to take action. In addition, it may be necessary for the vehicle to downshift to maintain the dis- tance setting selected. If the vehicle ahead speeds up or when the lane ahead becomes clear, your vehicle will accelerate to the speed you have selected by increas- ing the throttle setting and shifting gears as needed.
Active cruise control is not and must not be used as a collision avoidance/
warning system.<
Since this active cruise control sys- tem is a new technology and operates differently from conventional cruise control systems which you may be accustomed, you are strongly urged to read all of the pages relating to this system before use. Pay special attention to the information contained in the Things to know about active cruise control section in this manual beginning on page 62.<

brake at all times. Great differences in speed to the vehicles driving ahead, e. g. when quickly approaching a truck or when another vehicle swerves into your lane, cannot be compensated for by the sys- tem.<
Activate system
From approx. 20 mph/30 km/h you can activate the system by pressing the lever forward or pulling it back:
The current driving speed is stored as a desired speed and briefly displayed in the instrument cluster, see below.
1 Desired speed store and increase
Press the lever forward: The system adopts and stores your current speed as a desired speed. The speedome- ter indicates this speed. Subsequently pressing forward increases the desired speed to the next 5-mile place/ 10 km/h. Each time the lever is pressed forward again, the desired speed is increased by another 5 mph/10 km/h until a maximum of 110 mph/180 km/h is reached. The speed then displayed is stored and reached on a clear road.
If the system cannot be activated, the display ACC --- mph/km/h briefly
appears in the instrument cluster. The sys- tem may have been automatically deacti- vated, refer to Deactivate system, or a mal- function has occurred. To call up Check Control messages, refer to page 68.<
2 Desired speed store and decrease Pull back the lever: The current driving speed is rounded off to the next 5-mile place/10 km/h, displayed and stored. Each time the lever is pulled back again, the desired speed is decreased by another 5 mph/10 km/h until the minimum speed of 20 mph/30 km/h is reached. The speed then displayed is stored and reached on a clear road.
3 Deactivate system Press the lever up or down while the sys- tem is active. The displays in the instrument cluster disappear. You can use the system again as required. In addition, the system is deactivated auto- matically: > When you apply pressure to the brake
pedal
> When you select the automatic trans-
mission's/SMG's neutral range N
> With the manual transmission idling > When you deactivate the DSC Dynamic
Stability Control
> When you actuate the parking brake
during driving
> When the system reduces the speed to below 20 mph/30 km/h due to a traffic situation.
The system deactivates automatically when the speed is set to below
20 mph/30 km/h. A gong sounds and a message appears on the Control Display. The active intervention of the driver is required.< When you switch off the ignition, the stored desired speed is deleted.
4 Resume to stored desired speed and distance setting Press button 4: The displays appear in the instrument clus- ter. The system is reactivated and uses the last stored desired speed and distance set- ting.

Things to know about active cruise control
As with conventional cruise control systems, active cruise control in no
way diminishes or substitutes for the driver’s own personal responsibility, alert- ness and awareness in adjusting speed, braking or otherwise controlling the vehi- cle. The driver should decide when to use the system on the basis of road, traffic, vis- ibility, and weather conditions. Active cruise control is intended for use on high- way-type roadways where traffic is moving relatively smoothly. Do not use this system in city driving; heavy traffic such as during
62
rush hour; on curvy, winding roads, slip- pery roads or roads with sharp curves such as highway off-ramps; during inclement weather such as snow, strong rain or fog; or when entering interchanges, service/ parking areas or toll booths. It is also important to regulate your vehicle's speed and distance setting within applicable legal limits. Always be ready to take action or apply the brakes if necessary, especially when the system is actively following a vehicle in front of you.<
Always remember that the range and ability of the system does have phys- ical limitations. It will not apply the brakes or decelerate your vehicle when there is a slow-moving vehicle, stopped vehicle or stationary object ahead of you, as for example, at a traffic light or a parked vehi- cle. Also, the system does not react to oncoming traffic, pedestrians or other type of potential traffic such as a rider on horse- back. It is also possible that the system may not detect smaller moving objects such as motorcycles or bicycles. Be espe- cially alert when encountering any of these situations as the system will neither auto- matically brake, nor provide a warning to you. Also, be aware that every decrease in the distance setting allows your vehicle to come closer to a vehicle in front of you and requires a heightened amount of alert- ness.< If while your vehicle is actively following a vehicle in front of you and the vehicle ahead speeds up or the lane ahead becomes clear, then your vehicle will accelerate to the speed you have selected. Be aware that changing to a clear, unob- structed lane will also result in your vehicle accelerating.
Be certain to deactivate the system when you pull into an exit lane for a
highway off-ramp.< Also, vehicles traveling in a staggered man- ner on a highway may cause a delay in the system's reaction to a vehicle in front of you or may cause the system to react to a vehicle actually in the lane next to you. Always be ready to take action or apply the brakes if necessary. Active cruise control can only decelerate the vehicle to approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. If the system reduces vehicle speed below 20 mph/30 km/h or if DSC/ABS is engaged while driving, the system will automatically deactivate.
Remember, the system cannot stop your vehicle. In addition, the system is
deactivated whenever the driver applies the vehicle brakes, shifts the transmission from drive/D to neutral/N, or deactivates
DSC. After any deactivation, the system will no longer automatically activate the vehicle brakes, which means the driver must intervene and resume manual brak- ing. You should then reactivate the system only when you are fully aware of the prior speed and distance settings.< Active cruise control may brake when you reduce the stored desired speed; however, the driver must constantly monitor traffic and intervene if necessary. When you switch off the engine or ignition, active cruise control is fully switched off, too, and any settings you have selected are canceled.
Behavior in curves
Because of the limited range of the system, it is possible that in curves or on the peaks and valleys of hilly roads, a vehicle ahead may be recognized late, or not at all. There- fore, it is up to the driver to select a speed that is prudent in view of the curves and terrain of the roadway.
In approaching a curve, it is possible that active cruise control would react briefly to a vehicle in the adjacent lane. In addition, the system can sense if your vehicle is in a curve and may not accelerate. If your vehi- cle decelerates in either case, you can
63
g
choose to overcome the deceleration by briefly pressing the accelerator pedal.
Swerving vehicles
When a vehicle moves from an adjacent lane into your lane, active cruise control will not recognize this vehicle until it is fully in your lane ahead of your vehicle.
Malfunctions
If there is a malfunction, the indica- tor lamp symbol is displayed in the instrument cluster. Please note any supplementary information that appears on the Control Display. The build-up of foreign material, e.g., snow, ice, dirt, road debris, etc., can lead to reduced detection performance of active cruise control. You should check the sen- sor under the front bumper and clean it as necessary prior to driving your vehicle. If the sensor becomes covered by foreign material or has a malfunction, it is possible that the sensor will no longer be able to detect vehicles in front of you. After the system recognizes that the sensor is no longer functional, a message is displayed on the Control Display and an acoustic sig- nal is emitted.
Driver interventions
Anytime the driver presses down on the accelerator pedal, any automatic braking action by the system is interrupted until the pedal is fully released. After doing this, release the accelerator and the system again controls your cruising speed and dis- tance setting. While driving with activated system, resting your foot on the accelerator pedal will cause the system not to brake even if necessary. Be certain that floormats or other objects on the vehicle floor do not interfere with movement of the accelerator pedal.<
While active cruise control is capable of braking your vehicle automatically
when you approach a slower vehicle ahead, it is important to be aware that the ability of the system to apply the brakes is also limited, if you are driving down a steep grade or when you reduce your desired speed sharply. The system cannot stop your vehicle. It uses only a portion of brak- ing system capacity and does not utilize the full capacity of the vehicle braking system. Therefore, the system cannot decrease your speed for large differences in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Examples: during emergency brak- ing, when you approach a vehicle traveling at a much lower speed than your own speed such as approaching a toll booth or when a much slower vehicle cuts in front of you at close range.<
Whenever active cruise control recognizes a situation that requires driver braking because the system capacity has been reached or has been exceeded, the system alerts the driver by flashing this symbol in the instrument cluster and sounding a signal.

Cruising range Displays the estimated cruising range available with the remaining fuel. The sys- tem calculates the cruising range based on operating conditions and the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. The basis for the cal- culations is the average fuel consumption over the preceding 20 miles/30 km.
Always refuel as soon as possible once your cruising range falls to
below 30 miles/50 km, as otherwise engine
70
functions are not ensured and damage can occur.< Refueling is only registered by the com- puter for fuel amounts above approx. 1.3 gallons/5 liters.
Average fuel consumption The average fuel consumption is calculated for the time during which the engine is run- ning. You can use the Control Display to view your fuel consumption rate over two differ- ent distances, refer to Computer or Trip computer. To reset the average fuel consumption to zero: press the BC button in the turn signal indicator lever for approx. 2 seconds.
