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.
235
g
Do not mix in any additives or gasoline; otherwise, there is the risk of engine dam-
age.<
Reserve display A display in the instrument panel informs you about the remaining distance can be covered with the amount of fuel currently in the tank.
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.<

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.<
