BMW X5 with BMW Advanced Diesel
The concept BMW Advanced Diesel reduces nitrogen oxides in the diesel exhaust of your vehicle by injecting the reducing agent diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust line. In the catalytic converter, a chem- ical reaction occurs that minimizes nitrogen oxides. In order to be able to start the engine in the usual way, there must be a sufficient supply of diesel exhaust fluid in the separate reservoir.
System heating In order to bring the system to operating tem- perature after a cold start of the engine, the automatic transmission shifts into the next higher gear at a later point.
236
The reserve display appears approx. 1,000 miles/1,600 km before the end of the tank.
As soon as the reserve display has appeared in the instrument panel, have the diesel exhaust fluid refilled to prevent the engine from being unable to restart.<
Diesel exhaust fluid at minimum
Even with a display of -- mls, the engine will continue to run, provided that it is not switched off, and all other operating requirements are met, e.g. sufficient fuel.
Do not drive until the displayed remaining distance runs out. Otherwise, it may not
be possible to restart the engine.<
Incorrect fueling
The warning lamp lights up: The reservoir has been filled with an incorrect fluid.
Please contact your BMW Sports Activity Vehi- cle Center.
Have diesel exhaust fluid refilled Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center refills the diesel exhaust fluid as part of the regular maintenance. If you adhere to this maintenance schedule, it is usually not necessary to refill any fluids between the maintenance dates. Under certain circumstances, e.g. due to a par- ticularly sporty driving style or operation of the vehicle at high altitudes, it may be necessary to refill fluids between maintenance dates. As soon as the reserve display has appeared in the instrument panel, have the diesel exhaust fluid refilled to prevent the engine from being unable to restart. You can have the fluid refilled by a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
Diesel exhaust fluid at low temperatures
Due to its physical properties, it may be necessary to replenish the level of diesel
exhaust fluid at temperatures below +237/ -56 even between the regular maintenance intervals. If the fluid needs to be refilled, this will be indi- cated with the reserve display in the instrument panel, refer to page 236.<
Only refill the diesel exhaust fluid yourself in exceptional circumstances In order to get your vehicle to reach the nearest BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center, you may refill the diesel exhaust fluid yourself, making sure to heed the warning notices.
Do not allow diesel exhaust fluid to come into contact with you. This can lead to
skin and eye irritation. Wear protective goggles and gloves as needed. Follow the safety instructions on the bottle. When opening the bottle or reservoir, pungent smelling vapors can escape. Before refilling, close the vehicle completely so that the vapors do not get into the interior of the vehicle. When handling diesel exhaust fluid in enclosed spaces, make sure to have sufficient ventilation. After handling diesel exhaust fluid, wash hands thoroughly. Failure to do so may lead to irrita-
tion, e.g. due to inadvertent contact with the eyes. If eye irritation occurs, immediately rinse eyes with ample water and contact a doctor if neces- sary. If diesel exhaust fluid comes into contact with surfaces of your vehicle, rinse the affected sur- faces with water or else damage may occur. Keep diesel exhaust fluid out of reach of chil- dren.<

Incorrect fluid
After refilling with the incorrect fluid, e.g. antifreeze for windshield wiper fluid, do
not start the engine because this could result in a fire hazard.< Contact your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
Bottle disposal
You can have bottles for diesel exhaust fluid properly disposed of at your BMW
Sports Activity Vehicle Center. Only dispose of empty bottles in your house- hold garbage if the local legal regulations permit it.<
Reserve display
3. The reservoir is full when the fill level in the bottle stops changing. It is not possible to overfill. Pull bottle back, refer to arrow, and unscrew it.
After refilling, the reserve continues to appear after the engine is restarted. After the vehicle has been driven for a few more minutes, this display will disappear.
Closing reservoir After the reservoir is filled, close it again with the releasing tool.

Wheels and tires
Tire inflation pressure
Information for your safety The condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire pressure are crucial not only to the tire's service life, but also to driving com- fort and most importantly, driving safety.
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 increases.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly and correct it as needed, even on the
compact tire*: at least twice a month and before starting long trips. If you fail to observe this pre- caution, you may be driving on tires with incor- rect tire pressures, a condition that can not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an acci- dent. Do not drive with depressurized, i.e. flat tires, except run-flat tires. A flat tire will seri- ously impair your vehicle's handling and braking response. Attempts to drive on a flat tire can lead to a loss of control over the vehicle.<
After correcting the tire inflation pressure, reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to page 100, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to page 102.<
For correct identification of the right tire infla- tion pressure for your tires, observe the follow- ing: > Tire sizes of your vehicle > Load conditions > Maximum allowable driving speed
Tire inflation pressures for speeds up to 100 mph/160 km/h For normal driving up to 100 mph/160 km/h, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pressures listed on the following pages in the column Traveling speeds up to max. of 100 mph/160 km/h to achieve optimum driving comfort. These pressure specifications can be found on the door post when you open the driver's door.
The permissible top speed for these tire inflation pressures is 100 mph/160 km/h. Do not exceed this speed, otherwise tire dam- age and accidents may result.<
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 and tire brands respectively
approved and recommended by BMW; a list of these is available from your BMW Sports Activ- ity Vehicle Center.<
Tire inflation pressures for speeds above 100 mph/160 km/h
In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess of 100 mph/160 km/h, please
observe, and, if necessary, adjust tire pressures for speeds exceeding 100 mph/160 km/h from the relevant table on the following pages. Oth- erwise tire damage and accidents could occur.<

Tire identification marks Knowledge of the labeling on the side of the tire makes it easier to identify and choose the right tires.
255/55 R 18 109 H
Tire size For instance: Nominal width in mm Aspect ratio in Ξ Radial belt construction Rim diameter in inches Load rating (not on ZR tires) Speed code letter (in front of the R on ZR tires)
Speed letter Q = up to 100 mph/160 km/h T = up to 118 mph/190 km/h H = up to 131 mph/210 km/h V = up to 150 mph/240 km/h W = up to 167 mph/270 km/h Y = up to 186 mph/300 km/h
Tire Identification Number Tires with DOT codes meet the guidelines of the US Department of Transportation. DOT code:
DOT xxxx xxx 0810
For instance: Manufacturer code for tire make Tire size and tire design Tire age
Tire age The manufacturing date of tires is contained in the tire coding: DOT ... 0810 indicates that the tire was manufactured in week 8 of 2010. BMW recommends that you replace all tires after 6 years at most, even if some tires may last for 10 years.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Tread wear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
DOT Quality Grades Tread wear Traction AA A B C Temperature A B C
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition
to these grades.<
Tread wear The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov- ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1γ) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, how- ever, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteris- tics and climate.
Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test sur- faces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration, cor- nering, hydroplaning, or peak traction charac- teristics.<
Temperature The temperature grades are A, the highest, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
247
of 0.16 in/4 mm, they become perceptibly less suitable for winter conditions. For the sake of safety, new tires should be installed.
Wear indicators at the tread-groove base are distributed over the tire's circumference and are marked on the side of the tire with TWI – Tread Wear Indicator. If the tire tread has been driven down to the wear indicators, a tread depth of 0.063 in/1.6 mm has been reached.
Wheel/tire damage Please note that low-profile tires cause wheels, tires and suspension parts to be more suscep- tible to road hazards and consequential dam- ages. Unusual vibrations encountered during normal vehicle operation can indicate tire failure or some other vehicle defect. This can, for exam- ple, be caused by driving over curbs. These kinds of problems may also be signaled by other changes in vehicle response, such as a strong tendency to pull to the left or right.
In these cases, reduce speed immedi- ately and have wheels and tires thor-
oughly checked. To do so, drive carefully to the nearest BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center or tire shop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained per- sonnel. If necessary, have the vehicle towed there. Otherwise, tire damage can be extremely dangerous to vehicle occupants and other road users.<
heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehi- cle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sep- arately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.<
RSC – run-flat tires You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular symbol containing the letters RSC on the side of the tire, refer to page 249.
M+S Winter and all-season tires. These have better winter properties than sum- mer tires.
XL Indicates specially reinforced tires.
Tire condition Inspect your tires frequently for tread wear, signs of damage and for foreign objects lodged in the tread. Check the tread depth.
Minimum tread depth The tread depth should not drop below 0.12 in/ 3 mm, although, for example, European legisla- tion only specifies a minimum tread depth of 0.063 in/1.6 mm. At tread depths below 0.12 in/ 3 mm there is an increased risk of high-speed hydroplaning, even when only small amounts of water are present on the road surface. When winter tires wear down past a tread depth
248
Run-flat tires
You will recognize run-flat tires by the circular symbol containing the letters RSC on the side of the tire. Run-flat tires consist of partially self-contained tires and special rims. The sidewall reinforce- ment ensures that the tire retains some residual safety in the event of pressure drop and driving remains possible to a restricted degree. To continue driving with a damaged tire: > With Flat Tire Monitor, refer to Indication of
a flat tire page 100
> With Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to Mes-
sage with low tire inflation pressure page 103
New wheels and tires
Have new wheels and tires installed only by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
Center or a tire shop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent dam- age and related safety hazards. Make sure that the new wheels are balanced.<
Retreaded tires
BMW does not recommend that you use retreaded tires, as driving safety may be impaired. The causes for this include the possi- bly different tire casing structures and the often wide variations in their age, which can result in a limited service life.<
The right wheels and tires When mounting new tires or changing over from summer to winter tires and vice versa, mount Run-flat tires for your own safety. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center will be happy to advise you.
BMW recommends that you use only wheel and tire combinations that BMW
has tested and approved for your particular vehicle. Variations in factors such as manufac- turing tolerances mean that even wheels and tires with identical official size ratings could actually have different dimensions than the approved units – these differences could lead to body contact, and with it the risk of severe acci- dents. If non-approved wheels and tires are used, BMW cannot evaluate their suitability, and therefore cannot be held liable for driving safety.<
When changing to larger wheels and tires, it may be necessary to make changes to
the wheelwell trim piece, as otherwise road users could be endangered or the vehicle could be damaged. Only have this work carried out by a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center or a workshop that works in accordance with BMW guidelines and uses appropriately trained per- sonnel.< You can ask your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center for the correct wheel/tire combination. The correct wheel/tire combination also affects various systems whose function would other- wise be impaired, e.g. ABS, DSC, xDrive, Dynamic Performance Control in the BMW X6, or Flat Tire Monitor. To maintain good handling and vehicle response, use only tires of a single tread config- uration from a single manufacturer. Following tire damage, have the original wheel and tire combination remounted on the vehicle as soon as possible.

tires to the rear or vice versa as this can nega- tively affect handling characteristics. When the vehicle is equipped with different tires sizes*, rotating tires from one axle to the other is not permitted.<
Snow chains* BMW only tests certain fine-link snow chains, classifies them as road-safe and recommends them. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center can provide you with this information. BMW X5: use is only permitted in pairs on the rear wheels with tires of the size: > 255/55 R 18
> 255/50 R 19
BMW X6: it is only permissible to use snow chains in pairs, on the 255/50 R 19 rear wheels. Observe the manufacturer's instructions when mounting snow chains. Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h with the chains mounted. After mounting snow chains, do not ini- tialize the Flat Tire Monitor*, as otherwiseincorrect displays can occur. When you are driving with snow chains, it can be beneficial to activate DTC briefly, refer to page 96.<
Tire Pressure Monitor cannot detect a flat tire, refer to page 101. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center will be happy to advise you on this subject.
Recommended tire brands
Certain tire makes are recommended by BMW depending on the tire size. You can recognize these from the clearly visible BMW marking on the tire sidewall. When used properly, these tires comply with the most demanding standards for safety and vehicle response.
Special characteristics of winter tires BMW recommends using winter tires for opera- tion on winter road or at temperatures below +457/+76. Although all-season M+S tires provide better winter traction than summer tires, they generally fail to provide the same lev- els of cold-weather performance as winter tires.
Paying attention to speed
Always observe the maximum permissi- ble speed for the winter tires, otherwise tire damage may occur, which can result in acci- dents.<
Storage Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Always protect tires against all contact with oil, grease and fuels. Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pressure indicated on the side wall of the tire.

Under the hood
Never attempt to perform any service or repair operations on your vehicle without
the required professional technical training. If you do not know what repair procedures to fol- low, have work on your vehicle done only by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained per- sonnel. If this work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.<
