2007 BMW X5 3 0SI Owners Manual

4. Attach one end of the jumper cable minus/– to the negative terminal of the battery or to an engine or body ground of the assisting vehicle. Your BMW has a special nut as body ground or negative pole.

Tow-starting and towing

Observe applicable laws and regulations for tow-starting and towing.< Do not transport any passengers other than the driver in a vehicle that is being

towed.<

Using tow fitting The screw-on tow-fitting must always be car- ried in the vehicle. It can be screwed in at the front or rear of the BMW. It is located in the toolkit under the floor panel flap in the cargo bay, refer to page 228.

Use only the tow fitting provided with the vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the tow fitting for towing only on roads. Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift the vehi- cle by the tow fitting. Otherwise damage to the tow fitting and the vehicle can occur.<

Access to screw thread Cover panel in bumper: press on the arrow sym- bol on the cover panel. Front

5. Attach the second end of the cable to the negative terminal of the battery or to the engine or body ground of the vehicle to be started.

Starting engine 1. Start the engine on the assisting vehicle

and allow it to run at idle for several minutes at slightly increased speed.

2. Start the engine on the other vehicle in the

usual way. If the first starting attempt is not successful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge.

3. Let the engines run for a few minutes. 4. Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing

the connection sequence.

Check the battery and recharge if necessary.

Never use spray fluids to start the engine.<

Being towed

Make sure that the ignition is switched on, refer to page 56, otherwise the low

beams, tail lamps, turn signals and windshield wipers would not be available. When the engine is stopped, there is no power assist. This then requires increased effort for braking and steer- ing. Active steering is deactivated and larger steering wheel movements are required.< Switch on the hazard warning flashers depend- ing on the local regulations. If the electrical sys- tem fails, mark the vehicle to be towed, e.g. with a sign or warning triangle in the rear window. Engage transmission position N and release the parking brake before towing. Manually releasing transmission lock, refer to page 61.

Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph/ 70 km/h and a towing distance of

90 miles/150 km, otherwise the automatic transmission may be damaged.<

Towing methods

Do not lift vehicle by tow fitting or body and chassis parts, otherwise damage may

result.< In some countries, towing with tow bars or ropes in public traffic is not permitted. Familiar- ize yourself with the regulations on towing in the respective country.

With tow bar

The towing vehicle may not be lighter than the vehicle to be towed, otherwise it

will not be possible to reliably control vehicle response.< The tow fittings used should be on the same side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi- ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an offset angle, please observe the following: > Clearance and maneuvering capability will

be sharply limited during cornering.

> When mounted at an angle, the tow bar will

exert lateral forces, tending to push the vehicle sideways.

Only attach the tow bar to the tow fittings, as attachment to other vehicle parts can

lead to damage.<

With tow rope When starting off in the towing vehicle, make sure that the tow rope is taut.

To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on vehicle components when

towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps. Only attach tow ropes to the tow fittings, as attachment to other vehicle parts can lead to damage.<

With tow truck

Do not tow the X5 with the front or rear axle raised individually, otherwise the

wheels may lock and the transfer case may be damaged.<

The X5 may only be transported on a flat bed.

Tow-starting The engine cannot be started by tow-starting. Start the engine by jump starting it, refer to page 237. Have the cause of the starting difficulties elimi- nated.
