Speech quality If the person you are talking to is having difficul- ties understanding you, this may be due to excessive background noise. The full prepara- tion package mobile phone can compensate for these noises to a certain extent. To optimize the speech quality during a call, we recommend that you: > Reduce background noise, e.g. by closing
the windows, reducing air flow from the automatic climate control or pointing the open front air vents downward.
> Reduce the volume of the hands-free sys-
tem.

Changing between mobile phone and hands-free system
From mobile phone to hands-free system* You can continue calls begun outside the Blue- tooth range of the vehicle via the hands-free system when the engine is running or the igni- tion is switched on. Depending on your mobile phone, the system automatically switches over to the handsfree mode. For mobile phones that do not automatically switch over to the handsfree mode: Depending on the mobile phone model used, the conversation can be continued via the hands-free system if necessary. Refer to the display on your mobile phone and/or your mobile phone's operating instructions.
From hands-free system to mobile phone When you telephone via the hands-free system, you can also continue the call via the mobile phone if necessary, depending on the mobile phone model. Act according to what is shown on the mobile phone display, refer to the oper- ating instructions of your mobile phone. Alternatively, you can deactivate the Bluetooth link, refer to page 214. Depending on your mobile phone model, poor reception of the wireless communications net- work can result in the system changing from the hands-free system to the mobile phone.
Operation by voice*
The concept > You can operate your mobile phone without
having to remove your hands from the steering wheel.
> {...} Verbal instructions to use with the voice
activation system.

Using alternative commands There are often a number of commands to run a function, e.g.:
{Dial name} or {Name}.
The voice control answers You say {Dial number} {{Please say the number}} For example: {123 456 7890} Depending on equipment:
{Dial}
{{123 456 7890. Continue ?}} {{Dialing number}}

The entries must be entered using voice com- mands and are separate from the memory in the mobile phone. In this case, it is not possible to use voice command either to call phone num- bers stored in the mobile phone or to store new numbers. Up to 50 entries can be set up. An entry always consists of a name and phone number.

Important for voice commands For voice commands, keep the following in mind: > Say the commands, numbers and letters
smoothly and with normal volume, empha- sis and speed.
> Always say commands in the language of
the voice activation system.

Refueling
Switch off the engine before refueling. When handling fuel, always observe all
applicable precautionary measures and regula- tions. Never transport reserve fuel containers in the vehicle. These could become leaky and cause an explosion or a fire in an accident.<
Fuel filler flap
Opening
1. Open the fuel filler flap. To do this, briefly
press the lower edge.
2. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise. 3. Place the fuel filler cap in the bracket
attached to the fuel filler flap.
Closing Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly hear a click.
Do not crush the band attached to the cap; otherwise, the cap may not properly
seal and fuel vapors can escape.< A message* is displayed if the cap is loose or missing.
Releasing manually If an electrical malfunction should occur, you can unlock the fuel filler flap manually.
234
1. Open the right-hand side panel in the cargo
area.
2. Pull the knob with the gas pump symbol.
Observe the following when refueling When handling fuels, follow the safety precautions posted at the filling station. Otherwise, there is a danger of personal injury or property damage.< When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com- pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid raising the filler nozzle during refueling; otherwise, this leads to: > Premature pump shutoff > A reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor
recovery system
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks off the first time.
Fuel tank capacity Approx. 22.5 gallons/85 liters, including the reserve capacity of approx. 2.1 gallons/8 liters X5/X6 xDrive50i: approx. 3.2 gallons/12 liters reserve capacity
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
Gasoline engine: required fuel
Do not use leaded gasoline, otherwise damage to the catalytic converter will
result. Do not use E85, i.e. fuel that consists of 85% ethanol, or Flex Fuel, otherwise permanent damage to the engine and the fuel supply sys- tem will result.<
Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 91
This gasoline is highly recommended. However, you may also use gasoline with less AKI. The minimum AKI Rating is: > BMW X5: 87
> BMW X6: 89
If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI Rat- ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high outside temperatures. This has no affect on the engine life.Do not use gasoline below the specified minimum quality, otherwise engine dam-
age can result.<
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 cosolvent, 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 such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier
Detergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these recommendations may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<
BMW X5 with BMW Advanced Diesel: required fuel
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel The engine of your BMW is designed for diesel with a low sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur diesel ASTM D 975-07a.
Only refuel with ultra-low sulfur diesel. The percentage of biodiesel in the fuel
must not exceed 5Ξ, referred to as B5. Do not refuel with gasoline. If the vehicle has been refueled with incorrect fuel such as gasoline, do not start the engine; otherwise, there is a dan- ger of engine damage.< After incorrect refueling, contact a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
The fuel filling neck is designed for refuel- ing with diesel nozzles.
If the nozzle cannot be inserted into the fuel filler pipe of your BMW, please check to make sure that you are refueling with a diesel fuel pump and whether this is equipped with a diesel nozzle.<
In the event the ultra-low sulfur diesel nozzle cannot be fully inserted into the
fuel filler neck, please contact BMW Roadside Assistance for instructions on how to add fuel. For more information on BMW Roadside Assis- tance, refer to page 274.<
Winter diesel In order to assure the operational reliability of the diesel engine, during cold seasons, please refuel with winter diesel, which is sold at filling stations during this time of year. The standard fuel filter heating prevents the supply of fuel from stalling during driving.
