1. Briefly press protective cover to open.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the arrangement of the switches and indicator lamps may differ somewhat.
2. Press the SOS button for at least 2 sec-
onds.
The LED in the button lights up. As soon as the voice connection to the BMW Assist Response Center has been established, the LED flashes. When the emergency request is received at the BMW Assist Response Center, the BMW Assist Response Center contacts you and takes fur- ther steps to help you. Even if you are unable to answer, the BMW Assist Response Center can take further steps to help you under certain conditions. If conditions allow, remain in the vehicle until the connection has been established. You will then be able to provide a detailed description of the situation. If the current position of your vehicle can be determined, it will be forwarded to the BMW Assist Response Center. If the LED flashes, but you are unable to hear the BMW Assist Response Center through the hands-free system, this could indicate, for instance, that the hands-free system is no longer operational. However, you may then still be audible for the BMW Assist Response Cen- ter. Under certain conditions, an emergency request is automatically initiated immediately after a severe accident. The automatic collision notification is not affected by the button being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency request cannot be guaranteed under
unfavorable conditions.<
Warning triangle* The warning triangle is located in the cargo bay.
255
First-aid kit* Some of the articles contained in the first-aid kit have a limited service life. Therefore, check the expiration dates of the contents regularly and replace the contents concerned in good time if necessary.
The first-aid kit is located in the cargo bay. Open the left-hand side panel.
Roadside Assistance* The BMW Roadside Assistance offers you assistance in the event of a breakdown around the clock, including on weekends and public holidays. The phone numbers of the Roadside Assis- tance in your home country can be found in the Contact brochure. With BMW Assist or TeleService, you can con- tact BMW Roadside Assistance for assistance in the event of a breakdown directly via iDrive, refer to page 224.
Jump starting When your battery is discharged, you can use two jumper cables to start your BMW with power from the battery in a second vehicle. You can also use the same method to help start another vehicle. Use only jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp handles.
256
To avoid the risk of potentially fatal injury, always avoid all contact with electrical
components while the engine is running. Care- fully adhere to the following sequence, both to prevent damage to one or both vehicles, and to guard against possible personal injuries.<
Preparation 1. Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and approximately the same capacitance in Ah. This information can be found on the bat- tery.
2. Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.
3. Switch off any electrical systems and com-
ponents in both vehicles.
There must not be any contact between the bodies of the two vehicles, otherwise
there is a danger of shorting.<
Connecting jumper cables
To avoid personal injury from sparks, fol- low this sequence when connecting
jumper cables.< On your BMW the so-called starting-aid termi- nal in the engine compartment acts as the bat- tery positive terminal, also refer to the engine compartment overview on page 242. The cover cap is marked with +. 1. Fold open the cover of the BMW starting-
aid terminal. To do so, pull the tab.
2. Attach one end of the jumper cable plus/+ to the positive terminal of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehicle provid- ing assistance.
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 247.
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
3. Attach the second end of the cable to the
positive terminal of the battery or to a start- ing-aid terminal of the vehicle to be started. 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.
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
Rear
the connection sequence.
Check the battery and recharge if necessary.
Never use spray fluids to start the engine.<
257
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 256. Have the cause of the starting difficulties elimi- nated.
Being towed
Make sure that the ignition is switched on, refer to page 59, 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. If transmission position N cannot be engaged, manually release the transmission lock, refer to page 65.
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.
