For your own safety Warranty Your vehicle is technically configured for the operating conditions and registration require‐ ments applying in the country of first delivery homologation. If your vehicle is to be operated in a different country it might be necessary to adapt your vehicle to potentially differing oper‐ ating conditions and permit requirements. If your vehicle does not comply with the homolo‐ gation requirements in a certain country you cannot lodge warranty claims for your vehicle there. Further information can be obtained from your Service Centre. Parts and Accessories BMW recommends using parts and accessories approved by BMW for this purpose. Your BMW center is the right contact for genuine BMW parts and accessories, other products approved by BMW and related qualified advice. BMW has tested these products for safety and suitability in relation to BMW vehicles. BMW can assume responsibility for them. However, we cannot assume any responsibility whatsoever for parts and accessories that have not been specifically approved by BMW. BMW cannot evaluate whether each individual product from another manufacturer can be used with BMW vehicles without presenting a safety hazard. This guarantee is also not applicable when country-specific government approval has been granted. Testing of this kind may fail to embrace the entire range of potential operating conditions to which components might be exposed on BMW vehicles. Such products could conceivably fail to comply with BMW's own stringent quality standards. Maintenance and repairs California Proposition 65 Warning Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitable maintenance and repair methods. California laws require us to state the following warning: Therefore, have this work performed only by a BMW center or a workshop that works accord‐ ing to BMW repair procedures with appropri‐ ately trained personnel. If this work is not carried out properly, there is the danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards. Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automo‐ bile components and parts, including compo‐ nents found in the interior furnishings in a vehi‐ cle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 7 Notes chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other repro‐ ductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and re‐ lated accessories contain lead and lead com‐ pounds. Wash your hands after handling. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water. Service and warranty We recommend that you read this publication thoroughly. Your vehicle is covered by the fol‐ lowing warranties: ▷ New Vehicle Limited Warranty. ▷ Rust Perforation Limited Warranty. ▷ Federal Emissions System Defect War‐ ranty. ▷ Federal Emissions Performance Warranty. ▷ California Emission Control System Lim‐ ited Warranty. Detailed information about these warranties is listed in the Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models. Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and designed to meet the particular operating con‐ ditions and homologation requirements in your country and continental region in order to de‐ liver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is operated under those conditions. If you wish to operate your vehicle in another country or region, you may be required to adapt your ve‐ hicle to meet different prevailing operating conditions and homologation requirements. You should also be aware of any applicable warranty limitations or exclusions for such country or region. In such case, please contact Customer Relations for further information. Maintenance Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the road safety, operational reliability and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. 8 Specifications for required maintenance meas‐ ures: ▷ BMW Maintenance system ▷ Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models ▷ Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in seri‐ ous damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Data memory Many electronic components on your vehicle are equipped with data memories that tempo‐ rarily or permanently store technical informa‐ tion about the condition of the vehicle, events and faults. This technical information generally documents the state of a component, a mod‐ ule, a system or the environment: ▷ Operating states of system components, fill levels for instance. ▷ Status messages for the vehicle and from its individual components, e.g., wheel rota‐ tion speed/ vehicle speed, deceleration, transverse acceleration. ▷ Malfunctions and faults in important sys‐ tem components, e.g., lights and brakes. ▷ Responses by the vehicle to special situa‐ tions, e.g., deployment of an airbag, en‐ gagement of stability control systems. ▷ Ambient conditions, such as temperature. This data is purely technical in nature and is used to detect and correct faults and to opti‐ mize vehicle functions. Motion profiles over routes traveled cannot be created from this data. When service offerings are used, e.g., re‐ pair services, service processes, warranty claims, quality assurance, this technical infor‐ mation can be read out from the event and fault memories by the service personnel, in‐ Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Notes cluding the manufacturer, using special diag‐ nostic tools. You can obtain further information there if it is needed. After a fault is corrected, the information in the fault memory is deleted or overwritten on a continuous basis. When the vehicle is in use, situations are con‐ ceivable in which it might be possible to asso‐ ciate this technical data with individuals if it is combined with other information, e.g., an acci‐ dent report, damage to the vehicle, eye wit‐ ness accounts — possibly with the assistance of an expert. Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer, such as vehicle lo‐ cating in an emergency, enable certain vehicle data to be transmitted from the vehicle. recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data, e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location, are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforce‐ ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely ac‐ quired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi‐ cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve‐ hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. Reporting safety defects Event Data Recorder EDR For US customers This vehicle is equipped with an event data re‐ corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐ tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under‐ standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The following only applies to vehicles owned and operated in the US. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: ▷ How various systems in your vehicle were operating. ▷ Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were fastened. ▷ How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal. ▷ How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better under‐ standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause in‐ jury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis‐ tration NHTSA, in addition to notifying BMW of North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, West‐ wood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone 1-800-831-1117. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or BMW of North America, LLC. To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http:// www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washing‐ ton, DC 20590.

This indicates that the child seat has been detected and the front passenger airbags are not activated. Strength of the driver's and front passenger airbag The strength with which the driver's and front passenger airbags are triggered depends on the position of the driver's and front passenger seats. To maintain the accuracy of this function over the long-term, calibrate the front seats when a corresponding message appears on the Con‐ trol Display. Calibrating the front seats A corresponding message appears on the Control Display. Controls Tire Pressure Monitor TPM The concept The system monitors tire pressure in the four mounted tires. The system warns you if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires. For this purpose, sensors in the tire valves measure the tire inflation pressure. Hints Tire damage due to external factors Sudden tire damage caused by external influences cannot be indicated in advance.◀ Pay attention to the other information and indi‐ cations under Tire inflation pressure, refer to page 211, as well when using the system. Functional requirements The system must have been reset with the correct tire inflation pressure; otherwise, relia‐ ble signaling of tire pressure loss is not en‐ sured. 1. Move the respective seat forward all the way. Reset the system again after each correction of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. 2. Move the respective seat forward again. It moves forward briefly. Always use wheels with TPM electronics to ensure that the system will operate properly. 3. Readjust the seat to the desired position.

Normal tires After driving faster than 19 mph/30 km/h for a short period, the tire inflation pressures set are accepted as reference values. The reset is completed automatically during driving. 108 1. Identify the damaged tire. Do this by checking the air pressure in all four tires. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Safety If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, it is possible that a reset was not carried out for the Tire Pressure Monitor. Then perform the reset. If an identification is not possible, please contact the service center. 2. Rectify the flat tire. Use of tire sealant, e.g., the Mobility Sys‐ tem, may damage the TPM wheel elec‐ tronics. In this case, have the electronics checked at the next opportunity and have them replaced if necessary. Run-flat tires Maximum speed You can continue driving with a damaged tire at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h. Continued driving with a flat tire If continuing to drive with a damaged tire: 1. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers. 2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. 3. Check the air pressure in all four tires at the next opportunity. If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, it is possible that a reset was not carried out for the Tire Pressure Monitor. In that case, carry out a reset. Possible driving distance with complete loss of tire inflation pressure: The possible driving distance after a loss of tire inflation pressure depends on the cargo load and the driving style and conditions. For a vehicle containing an average load, the possible driving distance is approx. 50 miles/80 km. When the vehicle is driven with a damaged tire, its handling characteristics change, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance, and altered self-steering properties. Adjust your driving style accord‐ Controls ingly. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driv‐ ing over obstacles, e.g., curbs, potholes, etc. Because the possible driving distance de‐ pends on how the vehicle is used during the trip, the actual distance may be smaller or greater depending on the driving speed, road conditions, external temperature, cargo load, etc. Continued driving with a flat tire Drive moderately and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance and altered self-steering properties.◀ Final tire failure Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could come loose and cause an accident. Do not continue driving, and contact your service center.◀ Required inflation pressure check message A Check Control message is displayed. Check the tire inflation pressure and carry out a reset of the system. In some cases, a wheel was changed without having carried out a reset. System limits The system does not function properly if a re‐ set has not been carried out, e.g., a flat tire is reported even though the tire inflation pres‐ sures are correct. The tire pressure depends on the temperature of the tire. If the tire temperature rises, e.g., due to driving or because of the heat of the Sun, the tire inflation pressure increases also. The tire pressure is reduced when the tire Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 109 Controls Safety temperature falls again. This behavior may cause a warning to be issued if temperatures fall very sharply. Malfunction The yellow warning lamp flashes and then lights up continuously. A Check Control message is displayed. No flat tire or loss of tire pressure can be detected. Display in the following situations: ▷ A wheel without TPM electronics is fitted: have the service center check it if neces‐ sary. ▷ A wheel without TPM electronics, such as a compact wheel, is mounted: have the service center check it if necessary. ▷ Malfunction: have the system checked by your service center. ▷ TPM was unable to complete the reset. Reset the system again. ▷ Disturbance by systems or devices with the same radio frequency: after leaving the area of the disturbance, the system auto‐ matically becomes active again. Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Each tire, including the spare (if provided) should be checked monthly when cold and in‐ flated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres‐ sure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as 110 possible, and inflate them to the proper pres‐ sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel ef‐ ficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi‐ cator to indicate when the system is not oper‐ ating properly. The TPMS malfunction indica‐ tor is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunc‐ tion, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi‐ nated. This sequence will continue upon sub‐ sequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal‐ function exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replace‐ ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prop‐ erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tell‐ tale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. FTM Flat Tire Monitor The concept The system detects a pressure loss on the ba‐ sis of speed differences between the individual wheels while driving. In the event of a pressure loss, the diameter and therefore the rotational speed of the corre‐ sponding wheel change. This is detected and reported as a flat tire. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Safety The system does not measure the actual infla‐ tion pressure in the tires. Functional requirements The system must have been initialized when the tire inflation pressure was correct; other‐ wise, reliable signaling of a flat tire is not en‐ sured. Initialize the system after each correc‐ tion of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. Status display The current status of the Flat Tire Monitor can be displayed on the Control Display, e.g., whether or not the FTM is active. 1. "Vehicle Info" 2. "Vehicle status" Controls Indication of a flat tire The yellow warning lamp lights up. A Check Control message is displayed. There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation pressure. 1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers. 2. Check whether the vehicle is fitted with regular tires or run-flat tires. Run-flat tires, refer to page 220, are la‐ beled with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC marked on the tire sidewall. Do not continue driving without run-flat tires The status is displayed. Do not continue driving if the vehicle is not equipped with run-flat tires; continued driving may result in serious accidents.◀ Initialization When a flat tire is indicated, DSC Dynamic Sta‐ bility Control is switched on if necessary. 3. "Flat Tire Monitor (FTM)" The initialization process adopts the set infla‐ tion tire pressures as reference values for the detection of a flat tire. Initialization is started by confirming the inflation pressures. Do not initialize the system when driving with snow chains. 1. "Vehicle Info" 2. "Vehicle status" 3. "Perform reset" 4.

System limits Sudden tire damage Sudden serious tire damage caused by external influences cannot be indicated in ad‐ vance.◀ A natural, even pressure loss in all four tires cannot be detected. Therefore, check the tire inflation pressure regularly. 5. Start the initialization with "Perform reset". The system could be delayed or malfunction in the following situations: 6. Drive away. ▷ When the system has not been initialized. The initialization is completed while driving, which can be interrupted at any time. ▷ When driving on a snowy or slippery road surface. The initialization automatically continues when driving resumes. ▷ Sporty driving style: slip in the drive wheels, high lateral acceleration. ▷ When driving with snow chains.

Do this by checking the air pressure in all four tires. If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system. If an identification is not possible, please contact the service center. 2. Rectify the flat tire. Run-flat tires Maximum speed You can continue driving with a damaged tire at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h. Continued driving with a flat tire If continuing to drive with a damaged tire: 1. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers. 2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. 3. Check the air pressure in all four tires at the next opportunity. If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system. Possible driving distance with complete loss of tire inflation pressure: The possible driving distance after a loss of tire inflation pressure depends on the cargo load and the driving style and conditions. For a vehicle containing an average load, the possible driving distance is approx. 50 miles/80 km. When the vehicle is driven with a damaged tire, its handling characteristics change, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer 112 braking distance, and altered self-steering properties. Adjust your driving style accord‐ ingly. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driv‐ ing over obstacles, e.g., curbs, potholes, etc. Because the possible driving distance de‐ pends on how the vehicle is used during the trip, the actual distance may be smaller or greater depending on the driving speed, road conditions, external temperature, cargo load, etc. Continued driving with a flat tire Drive moderately and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.

This may result in the warning not being is‐ sued or being issued late. Night Vision with pedestrian and animal detec‐ tion is a night vision system. An infrared camera records the area in front of the vehicle and issues a warning if it detects pedestrians and animals on the street. Warm objects that are similar in shape to human be‐ ings or animals are detected by the system. If necessary, the heat image can be displayed on the Control Display. Heat image For example, the following situations may not be detected: ▷ Partially covered pedestrians. ▷ Pedestrians that are not detected as such because of the viewing angle or contour. ▷ Pedestrians outside of the detection range. ▷ Pedestrians having a body size less than 32 in/80 cm. Functional limitations The system may not be fully functional or may not be available in the following situations: ▷ In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐ fall. The image shows the heat radiated by objects in the field of view of the camera. Warm objects have a light appearance and cold objects, a dark appearance. The ability to detect an object depends on the temperature difference between the object and the background and on the level of heat radiation emitted by the object. Objects that Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 121 Controls Safety are similar in temperature to the environment or that radiate very little heat are difficult to de‐ tect.

Any unauthorized modifications or changes to these devices could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. 128 Active Protection The concept The system can detect increasing lack of alert‐ ness or fatigue of the driver during long, mo‐ notonous journeys, for example, on highways. In this situation, it is recommended that the driver take a break. Note Personal responsibility The system cannot act as a substitute for the personal assessment of one's physical state and may not detect an increasing lack of alertness or fatigue or may not detect it cor‐ Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Safety Controls rectly. Therefore, make sure that the driver is rested and alert; otherwise, risks may be de‐ tected too late and an accident be caused as a result.◀ ▷ In active driving situations, such as when changing lanes frequently. Function PreCrash The system is activated each time the engine is started and cannot be switched off. The concept After travel has begun, the system is trained about the driver, so that increasing lack of alertness or fatigue can be detected. This procedure takes the following criteria into account: ▷ Personal driving style, for example, steer‐ ing behavior. ▷ Driving conditions, for example, length of trip. Starting at approximately 43 mph/70 km/h, the system is active and can display a recommen‐ dation to take a break. Break recommendation If the driver becomes increasingly less alert or fatigued, a message is displayed in the Control Display with the recommendation to take a break. A recommendation to take a break is displayed only once during an uninterrupted trip. After a break, another recommendation to take a break cannot be displayed until after approxi‐ mately 45 minutes. System limits The function may be limited in the following situations, for instance, and will either output an incorrect warning or no warning at all: ▷ When the clock is set incorrectly. ▷ When the vehicle speed is mainly below about 43 mph/70 km/h. ▷ With a sporty driving style, such as during rapid acceleration or when cornering quickly. ▷ When the road surface is poor. ▷ In the event of strong side winds. With this system critical driving situations that might result in an accident can be detected above a speed of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. In these situations, preventative protection measures are automatically undertaken to minimize the risk in the event of an accident as much as possible. Critical driving situations may include: ▷ Full brake applications. If the vehicle includes the collision warning or collision warning with braking feature, impend‐ ing collisions with vehicles driving ahead or stopped in front of you can also be detected within the system's range. Note Personal responsibility The system cannot possibly serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic situation. The system may not al‐ ways detect critical situations reliably and in a timely manner. Adapt speed to traffic situation and drive alertly; otherwise, a risk to safety may result.◀ Function After the safety belt is buckled, the front belts are automatically pretensioned once after the vehicle is driven is away. In critical driving situations, the following indi‐ vidual functions become active as needed: ▷ The front belts are automatically preten‐ sioned. ▷ Automatic closing of the windows. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 129 Controls Safety ▷ Automatic closing of the glass sunroof. ▷ For vehicles equipped with Comfort Seats: automatic positioning of the backrest for the front passenger seat. After a critical driving situation without an acci‐ dent, the front belts are loosened again. All other systems can be restored to the desired setting. If the belt tension does not loosen automati‐ cally, stop the vehicle and unbuckle the belt using the red button in the buckle. Fasten the belt before continuing on your trip. PostCrash In the event of an accident, the system can bring the car to a halt automatically without in‐ tervention by the driver in certain situations. This can reduce the risk of a further collision and the consequences thereof. Depressing the brake pedal can cause the ve‐ hicle to brake harder. This interrupts automatic braking. Depressing the accelerator pedal also interrupts automatic braking. After coming to a halt, the brake is released automatically. Secure the vehicle against roll‐ ing. 130 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Driving stability control systems Controls Driving stability control systems Vehicle equipment Drive-off assistant All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐ ment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equipment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems. This system supports driving away on gradi‐ ents. The parking brake is not required. Antilock Brake System ABS ABS prevents locking of the wheels during braking. The vehicle remains steerable even during full brake applications, thus increasing active safety. ABS is operational every time you start the en‐ gine. Brake assistant When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically produces the maximum braking force boost. This then reduces braking dis‐ tance to a minimum during full braking. This system utilizes all of the benefits provided by ABS. Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal for the duration of the full braking. When equipped with Driving Assistant Plus or with Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, ACC is supported by the braking in‐ tervention if there is a possible risk of collision. To do this, the braking force is automatically increased if the braking pressure is insufficient when the brakes are applied. 1. Hold the vehicle in place with the foot brake. 2. Release the foot brake and drive away without delay. After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is held in place for approx. 2 seconds. Depending on the vehicle load or when a trailer is being used, the vehicle may roll back slightly. Driving off without delay After releasing the foot brake, start driv‐ ing without delay, since the drive-off assistant will not hold the vehicle in place for more than approx. 2 seconds and the vehicle will begin rolling back.◀ Automatic Differential Brake The system controls the driving force by auto‐ matic braking intervention on individual wheels. The function corresponds to a differ‐ ential lock: the system detects if a wheel be‐ gins to spin, because of loose road surface, for example, and automatically brakes it. The driving force is diverted to the wheel with better traction. As a result, the engine force is transferred more efficiently to the wheels during accelera‐ tions. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 131 Controls Driving stability control systems Dynamic Performance Control The Dynamic Performance Control increases both the agility of the vehicle as well as the lane stability. The system seamlessly handles the distribu‐ tion of the drive torque between the two rear wheels. Depending on the situation, the drive torque is shifted from the wheel on the inside of the curve to the wheel on the outside of the curve or vice-versa. To increase the maneuverability, the rear wheel on the outside of the curve is acceler‐ ated when the driving style is correspondingly sporty. The steering responds directly; simultane‐ ously, the understeering tendency of the fourwheel drive is canceled out. With the oversteering tendency, the system exerts a stabilizing effect by accelerating the rear wheel on the inside of the curve. The system noticeably improves the traction and simultaneously increases the driving safety, especially on road surfaces having fluc‐ tuating coefficients of friction. DSC Dynamic Stability Control An appropriate driving style is always the responsibility of the driver. The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with DSC. Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety margin by driving in a risky manner.◀ Indicator/warning lamps The indicator lamp flashes: DSC con‐ trols the drive forces and brake forces. The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has failed. Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is reduced during acceleration and when driving in bends. To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again as soon as possible. Deactivating DSC Press and hold the button, but not lon‐ ger than approx. 10 seconds, until the indicator lamp for DSC OFF lights up in the in‐ strument cluster and DSC OFF is displayed. The DSC system is switched off. Activating DSC Press the button. The concept DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels when driving away and accelerating. DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle condi‐ tions, such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Sub‐ ject to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing engine speed and by applying brakes to the individual wheels. 132 Adjust your driving style to the situation DSC OFF and the DSC OFF indicator lamp go out. Indicator/warning lamps When DSC is deactivated, DSC OFF is dis‐ played in the instrument cluster. The indicator lamp lights up: DSC is deactivated.

Controls The indicator lamp lights up: DTC Dy‐ namic Traction Control is activated. xDrive It is therefore necessary to drive with appropri‐ ate caution. xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your ve‐ hicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC further optimize traction and driving dynamics. The xDrive all-wheel-drive system variably dis‐ tributes the drive forces to the front and rear axles as demanded by the driving situation and road surface. You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC under the following special circumstances: Display on the Control Display The system ensures maximum forward mo‐ mentum on special road conditions, e.g., unp‐ lowed snowy roads, but driving stability is lim‐ ited. ▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared, snow-covered roads. ▷ When rocking the vehicle or driving off in deep snow or on loose surfaces. ▷ When driving with snow chains.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 133 Controls Driving stability control systems Hill Descent Control can be activated at speeds below approx. 22 mph/35 km/h. When driving downhill, the vehicle reduces its speed to approx. walking speed and then keeps its speed constant. Activating HDC As long as there is active braking, the system is on standby. The system does not brake the vehicle during this time. Use HDC in low gears or in transmission posi‐ tion D or R only. Increasing or decreasing vehicle speed Specify desired speed in the range from ap‐ prox. 4 mph/6 km/h to approx. 15 mph/25 km/h using the rocker switch of the cruise control on the steering wheel. Vehicle speed can be changed by lightly accelerating. Press the button; the LED above the but‐ ton lights up. Deactivating HDC Press the button again and the LED goes out. HDC is automatically deactivated above approx. 37 mph/60 km/h. Display in the instrument cluster The selected speed is displayed in the speedometer. ▷ Green: the system is actively braking the vehicle. ▷ Orange: the system is on standby. ▷ Press up the rocker switch to the point of resistance: the speed increases gradually. Malfunction ▷ Press up the rocker switch past the point of resistance: the speed increases while the rocker switch is pressed. A message is displayed in the instrument clus‐ ter. HDC is not available, e.g., due to elevated brake temperatures. ▷ Press down the rocker switch to the point of resistance: the speed decreases gradu‐ ally. Active Steering ▷ Press down the rocker switch past the point of resistance: when driving forward, the speed decreases to approx. 6 mph/10 km/h; when reversing, the speed decreases to approx. 4 mph/6 km/h. 134 Active Steering varies the steering angle of the wheels in relation to the steering wheel move‐ ment as a function of the speed. At lower speeds, for example during turning or maneuvering, the steering angle is increased, that is to say the steering becomes more di‐ rect. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Driving stability control systems Controls At higher speeds, the steering angle is increas‐ ingly reduced. The programs can be selected via the Driving Dynamics Control, refer to page 135.

Therefore, equip‐ ment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equipment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems. The speed is also maintained on downhill gra‐ dients, but may not be maintained on uphill slopes if engine power is insufficient. General information Depending on the set driving program, the characteristics of the cruise control can change in certain areas. Hints Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, ACC The concept This system can be used to select a desired speed that the vehicle will maintain automati‐ cally on clear roads. To the extent possible, the system automati‐ cally adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle ahead of you. The distance that the vehicle maintains to the vehicle ahead of you can be varied. For safety reasons, it depends on the speed. To maintain a certain distance, the system au‐ tomatically reduces the speed, applies the brakes lightly, or accelerates again if the vehi‐ cle ahead begins moving faster. If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, the system is able to detect this within the given system limits. If the vehicle ahead of your drives away again from a halt, your vehicle is able to accelerate if operated accordingly. Even if some time passes before the vehicle ahead of you drives away again, your own vehi‐ cle can still be accelerated automatically and simply. Personal responsibility Even an active system does not release the driver from personal responsibility for the driving process, especially for lane tracking, adaptation of speed, distance and driving style to the traffic conditions. Because of technical system limits, the system cannot independently react appropriately in all traffic situations. Monitor the driving process, the surrounding area and what is occurring in traffic continu‐ ously and attentively and actively intervene as required, e.g., by braking, steering or making an evasive maneuver.◀ Unfavorable weather conditions In the event of unfavorable weather and light conditions, e. g. if there is rain, snowfall, slush, fog or glare, this may result in poorer recognition of vehicles and lane limits as well as short-term interruptions for vehicles that are already detected. Drive attentively, and react to the current traffic events. Intervene actively when necessary, e.g., by braking, steering or making an evasive maneuver, otherwise, there is danger of an accident.◀ As soon as the road is clear, it accelerates to the desired speed. 138 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Driving comfort Controls At a glance Buttons on the steering wheel Press the button Function Cruise control on/off, interrupt‐ ing, refer to page 139 Store/maintain speed, refer to page 140 A dirty or covered sensor may hinder the de‐ tection of vehicles.

The system is functional at speeds beginning at approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. Swerving vehicles The maximum speed that can be set depends on the vehicle. The system can also be activated when sta‐ tionary. Comply with the legal speed limit in every sit‐ uation when using the system. Detection range A vehicle driving in front of you is not detected until it is completely within the same lane as your vehicle. Swerving vehicles The detection capacity of the system and the automatic braking capacity are limited. If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly swerves into your lane, the system may not be able to automatically restore the selected dis‐ tance. This also applies to major speed differ‐ ences to vehicles driving ahead of you, e.g., when rapidly approaching a truck. When a ve‐ hicle driving ahead of you is reliably detected, the system requests that the driver intervene by braking and carrying out evasive maneu‐ vers, if necessary. You must react yourself; Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 143 Controls Driving comfort otherwise, there is the danger of an accident occurring.◀ Cornering Driving away In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive away automatically, e.g., on steep inclines or behind bumps in the road. Radar sensor For US owners only The transmitter and receiver units comply with part 15 of the FCC/Federal Communication Commission regulations. Operation is gov‐ erned by the following: FCC ID: If the desired speed is too high for a curve, the speed is reduced slightly in the curve, although curves cannot be anticipated in advance. Therefore, drive into a curve at an appropriate speed. In tight curves, situations may result due to the restricted detection range of the system in which a vehicle driving ahead of you may not be detected at all, or not until after a consider‐ able delay. ▷ OAYARS3-A Compliance statement: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: ▷ This device may not cause harmful inter‐ ference, and ▷ this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any unauthorized modifications or changes to these devices could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Malfunction When approaching a curve, the system may react briefly to the vehicles in the next lane due to the bend of the curve. Any deceleration of the vehicle by the system can be compensated for by briefly accelerating. After the accelerator pedal is released, the system becomes active again and independently controls the speed. The system cannot be activated if the radar sensor is not aligned correctly. This may be caused by damage incurred during parking, for example. A Check Control message is displayed if the system fails. The function for detecting and responding when approaching stationary vehicles may be limited in the following situations: ▷ During calibration of the camera immedi‐ ately after vehicle shipment. ▷ If the camera is malfunctioning or dirty. A Check Control message is displayed. 144 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Driving comfort Controls Congestion Assistant adaptation of speed, distance and driving style to the traffic conditions. The concept Because of technical system limits, the system cannot independently react appropriately in all traffic situations. In congestion situations, the system controls the speed, steers independently as required and keeps the vehicle close to the center of the lane. To the extent possible, the system automati‐ cally adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle ahead of you. The distance that the vehicle maintains to the vehicle ahead of you can be varied. For safety reasons, it depends on the speed. To maintain a certain distance, the sys‐ tem automatically reduces the speed, applies the brakes lightly, or accelerates again if the vehicle ahead begins moving faster. When lane markings are detected, the system keeps the vehicle in the center of the lane. For this purpose, the system steers independently as needed, for example, during cornering. General information The congestion assistant determines speed and distance from the vehicle in front and the position of the lane markings via a radar sensor and a camera. Sensors on the steering wheel detect whether the steering wheel is being touched. Monitor the driving process, the surrounding area and what is occurring in traffic continu‐ ously and attentively and actively intervene as required, e.g., by braking, steering or making an evasive maneuver.◀ Unfavorable weather conditions In the event of unfavorable weather and light conditions, e. g. if there is rain, snowfall, slush, fog or glare, this may result in poorer recognition of vehicles and lane limits as well as short-term interruptions for vehicles that are already detected. Drive attentively, and react to the current traffic events. Intervene actively when necessary, e.g., by braking, steering or making an evasive maneuver, otherwise, there is danger of an accident.◀ Functional requirements ▷ Drive on approved road type. The data on this are stored in the navigation system. Approved road types are highways. ▷ Sufficient lane width. The system is deactivated as soon as the steering wheel is no longer being touched. ▷ Lane marking on both sides is detected. In order to be able to use the Congestion As‐ sistant, place your hands around the steering wheel. ▷ Speed below 25 mph/40 km/h. When driving with gloves or with protective covers, contact with the steering wheel cannot be detected by the sensors. The system in this case cannot be used. ▷ Vehicle driving ahead is detected. ▷ Both hands on the steering wheel rim. ▷ Sufficient curvature. ▷ Drive in the center of the lane.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Driving tips Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐ ment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equipment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems. Breaking-in period General information Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to each other. Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km. Brake system Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐ prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized contact and wear patterns between brake discs and brake pads. Drive moderately during this break-in period. Following part replacement The same breaking in procedures should be observed if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life. The following instructions will help achieve a long vehicle life and good economy. General driving notes Engine and differential Closing the tailgate Always obey the official speed limit. Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km Do not exceed the maximum engine and road speed: ▷ For gasoline engine 4,500 rpm and 100 mph/160 km/h. ▷ For diesel engine 3,500 rpm and 93 mph/150 km/h. Avoid full load or kickdown under all circum‐ stances. Drive with the tailgate closed Only drive with the tailgate closed; other‐ wise, in the event of an accident or braking and evasive maneuvers, passengers and other road users may be injured, and the vehicle may be damaged. In addition, exhaust fumes may en‐ ter the passenger compartment.◀ If driving with the tailgate open cannot be avoided: ▷ Close all windows and the glass sunroof. ▷ Greatly increase the blower speed. From 1,200 miles/2,000 km ▷ Drive moderately. The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be increased. Hot exhaust system Hot exhaust system Tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full traction potential until after an initial breakingin period. 190 High temperatures are generated in the exhaust system. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Things to remember when driving Do not remove the heat shields installed and never apply undercoating to them. Make sure that flammable materials, e. g. hay, leaves, grass, etc. do not come in contact with the hot exhaust system during driving, while in idle po‐ sition mode, or when parked. Such contact could lead to a fire, and with it the risk of seri‐ ous personal injury as well as property dam‐ age. Do not touch hot exhaust pipes; otherwise, there is the danger of getting burned.◀ Diesel particulate filter The diesel particulate filter collects soot parti‐ cles and burns them periodically at high tem‐ peratures. During the cleaning time of several minutes, the following may occur: ▷ Temporarily, the engine may run less smoothly. ▷ Noises and a slight amount of smoke com‐ ing from the exhaust until shortly after the engine is shut down. ▷ A somewhat higher engine speed is neces‐ sary to achieve the accustomed perform‐ ance. Climate control windshield Driving tips Mobile communication devices in the vehicle Mobile communication devices in the ve‐ hicle It is advised that you do not use mobile com‐ munication devices, e.g., mobile phones, in‐ side the vehicle without connecting them di‐ rectly to the external antenna. Otherwise, the vehicle electronics and mobile communication devices can interfere with each other. In addi‐ tion, there is no assurance that the radiation generated during transmission will be dis‐ charged from the vehicle interior.◀ Hydroplaning On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can form between the tires and road surface. This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplan‐ ing. It is characterized by a partial or complete loss of contact between the tires and the road surface, ultimately undermining your ability to steer and brake the vehicle. Hydroplaning When driving on wet or slushy roads, re‐ duce your speed to prevent hydroplaning.◀ Driving through water For calm water, maximum water depth: ▷ X5: 19.6 inches/50 cm At this max. depth, drive at walking speed. Adhere to water depth and speed limita‐ tions The marked area is not covered with heat re‐ flective coating. Use this area for garage door openers, devices for electronic toll collection, etc. Do not exceed this water depth and walking speed; otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the transmission may be damaged. If the vehicle has parked-car heating, drive through water only if it is not deeper than 9.8 inches/25 cm, and at this height no faster than walking speed.◀ Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 191 Driving tips Things to remember when driving Braking safely Hills Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as a stand‐ ard feature. Applying the brakes fully is the most effective way of braking in situations when this is neces‐ sary. Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Otherwise, the brake system may overheat, re‐ sulting in a reduction in the brake system effi‐ ciency. The vehicle maintains steering responsive‐ ness. You can still avoid any obstacles with a minimum of steering effort. You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if necessary. Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from the hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is in its active mode. Objects within the range of movement of the pedals No objects in the area around the pedals Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other objects out of the area of motion of the pedals; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving and create the risk of an accident. Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects. Avoid load on the brakes Avoid placing excessive load on the brake system. Light but consistent brake pres‐ sure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.◀ Do not drive in neutral Do not drive in neutral or with the engine stopped, as doing so disables engine braking. In addition, steering and brake assist are un‐ available with the engine stopped.◀ Brake disc corrosion The corrosion on the brake discs and the con‐ tamination on the brake pads are furthered by: Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be properly fixed in place. ▷ Low mileage. Ensure that the floor mats are securely fas‐ tened again after they were removed for clean‐ ing, for example.◀ ▷ Infrequent use of the brakes. ▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all. Driving in wet conditions Corrosion occurs when the minimum pressure that must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the discs is not reached. When roads are wet coated with road salt or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pres‐ sure on the brake pedal every few miles. Should corrosion form on the brake discs, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating ef‐ fect that generally cannot be corrected. Ensure that this action does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the brake discs and pads. In this way braking efficiency will be available when you need it. 192 Condensation under the parked vehicle When using the automatic climate control, condensation water develops that exits under‐ neath the vehicle. Traces of water under the vehicle like this are normal.

The steeper and more uneven the road surface, the slower the speed should be. ▷ When driving on steep uphill or downhill grades: add engine oil and coolant up to near the MAX mark. Uphill and downhill grades can be traveled up to no more than 50 %. ▷ On steep downhill grades, use Hill Descent Control HDC, refer to page 133. Starting out is possible on uphill grades up to 33 %. The permissible side tilt is 50 %. ▷ Avoid contact of the bottom of the body with the ground. The ground clearance is no more than 7.8 inches/20 cm and can vary according to the loading condition. ▷ When wheels continue to turn, depress the accelerator so that driving stability control systems can distribute the driving force to the wheels. Activate DTC Dynamic Trac‐ tion Control if available. After a trip on poor roads After a trip on poor roads, check wheels and tires for damage to maintain driving safety. Clear heavy soiling from the body.

Therefore, equip‐ ment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equipment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems. General information Overloading the vehicle To avoid exceeding the approved carry‐ ing capacity of the tires, never overload the ve‐ hicle. Overloading can lead to overheating and increases the rate at which damage develops inside the tires. This could result in a sudden loss of tire inflation pressure.◀ No fluids in the trunk Make sure that fluids do not leak into the trunk; otherwise, the vehicle may be dam‐ aged.◀ Determining the load limit 1. Locate the following statement on your ve‐ hicle’s placard: ▷ The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the 194 vehicle and unstable driving situations may result. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY pounds. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load ca‐ pacity. For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,000 lbs and there will be four 150 lbs passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 400 lbs: 1,000 lbs minus 600 lbs = 400 lbs. 5. Determine the combined weight of lug‐ gage and cargo being loaded on the vehi‐ cle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Loading Load Driving tips Securing cargo Lashing eyes in the cargo area The maximum load is the sum of the weight of the occupants and the cargo. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo that can be transported. Stowing cargo To secure the cargo there are four lashing eyes in the cargo area. Lashing eyes in the cargo area with rails ▷ Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo. ▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possi‐ ble, directly behind and at the bottom of the rear passenger seat backrests. ▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each of the outer safety belts in the opposite buckle. ▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests to stow cargo. To secure the cargo, there are four movable lashing eyes in the cargo area. ▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of the backrests. To slide the lashing eyes, press the button, ar‐ row 1. Make sure that the lashing eyes latch at the new position. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 195 Driving tips Loading If available, the lashing eyes are located under the cargo floor cover in the cargo area. They can be inserted into the openings in the rails. Securing cargo Therefore, note the following when loading and driving: ▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle loads and the approved gross vehicle weight. ▷ Smaller and lighter items: secure with re‐ taining straps or with a cargo net or draw straps. ▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly. ▷ Larger and heavy objects: secure with cargo straps. ▷ Always place the heaviest pieces on the bottom. Cargo straps, cargo netting, retaining straps or draw straps on the lashing eyes in the cargo area. Securing cargo Always position and secure the cargo as described above; otherwise, it can endanger the car's occupants if sudden braking or swerving becomes necessary. ▷ The roof load should not be too large in area. ▷ Secure the roof luggage firmly, e.g., tie with ratchet straps. ▷ Do not let objects project into the opening path of the tailgate. ▷ Drive cautiously and avoid sudden acceler‐ ation and braking maneuvers. Take corners gently. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car; otherwise, they could be thrown around as a result of hard braking, sud‐ den swerves, etc., and endanger the occu‐ pants.◀ Roof-mounted luggage rack Note Installation only possible with roof rack. Roof racks are available as special accessories. Securing Follow the installation instructions of the roof rack. Loading Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for tilting and opening the glass sunroof. Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major ef‐ fect on vehicle handling and steering re‐ sponse. 196 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Saving fuel Driving tips Saving fuel Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐ ment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equipment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems. General information Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐ ferent factors. The implementation of certain measures, driv‐ ing style and regular maintenance can have an influence on fuel consumption and on the envi‐ ronmental impact. Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight increases fuel consumption. Remove attached parts following use Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof or rear luggage racks which are no longer required following use. Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐ dynamics and increase the fuel consumption. Close the windows and glass sunroof Driving with the glass sunroof and windows open results in increased air resistance and thereby reduces the range. Tires General information Tires can affect fuel consumption values in various ways, for instance fuel consumption can be influenced by the size of the tires. Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if necessary, correct the tire infla‐ tion pressure at least twice a month and before starting on a long trip. Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐ sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and tire wear. Drive away immediately Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate engine speeds. This is the fastest way for the cold engine to reach its operating temperature. Look well ahead when driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehi‐ cle driving ahead of you. Driving smoothly and looking ahead reduces fuel consumption. Use coasting When approaching a red light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 197 Driving tips Saving fuel On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle roll. The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting. Switch off the engine during longer stops Switch off the engine during longer stops, e.g., at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic congestion. Auto Start/Stop function The Auto Start/Stop function of your vehicle automatically switches off the engine during a stop. If the engine is switched off and then restarted rather than leaving the engine running con‐ stantly, fuel consumption and emissions are reduced. Savings can begin within a few sec‐ onds of switching off the engine. Have maintenance carried out Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve optimal vehicle economy and operating life. The maintenance should be carried out by your service center. Also note the BMW Maintenance System, refer to page 229. ECO PRO The concept ECO PRO supports a driving style that saves on fuel consumption. For this purpose, the en‐ gine control and comfort functions, e. g. the climate control output, are adjusted. In the instrument display, the extension of the range achieved by this can be displayed as a bonus range. Using this system can cause certain compo‐ nents of the vehicle to become worn prema‐ turely. At a glance In addition, fuel consumption is also deter‐ mined by other factors, such as driving style, road conditions, maintenance or environmental factors. ▷ ECO PRO bonus range, refer to page 199. The system includes the following EfficientDynamics functions and displays: ▷ ECO PRO climate control, refer to page 199.

Therefore, equip‐ ment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equipment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems. Fuel recommendation xx: comply with the current standard in each case. Do not refuel with Ethanol above the maximum Ethanol proportion Do not refuel with Ethanol above the maximum Ethanol proportion, that is, refueling with fuel that contains more than 10 % Ethanol, flex fuel or other alcohols; otherwise, damage to the engine and fuel supply could result.◀ Gasoline quality BMW recommends AKI 91. Note Minimum fuel grade General fuel quality Even fuels that conform to the specifica‐ tions can be of low quality. Switch gas stations or use fuel from brand name producers having a higher octane level; otherwise, engine prob‐ lems, such as poor engine starting perform‐ ance, poorer handling characteristics or driving performance may occur.◀ Gasoline For the best fuel economy, the gasoline should be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur content. Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as con‐ taining metal must not be used. Refuel only with unleaded gasoline with‐ out metallic additives. Do not refuel with any leaded gasoline or gaso‐ line with metallic additives, e. g. manganese or iron, or permanent damage to the catalytic converter and other components.◀ Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of 10 %, i. e., E10, may be used for refueling. Ethanol should satisfy the following quality standards: BMW recommends AKI 89. Minimum fuel grade Do not use any gasoline below the mini‐ mum fuel grade as this may impair engine per‐ formance.◀ 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 effect on the engine life. Fuel quality The use of poor-quality fuels may result in harmful engine deposits or damage. Addi‐ tionally, problems relating to drivability, start‐ ing and stalling, especially under certain envi‐ ronmental conditions such as high ambient temperature and high altitude, may occur. If drivability problems are encountered, we rec‐ ommend switching to a high quality gasoline brand and a higher octane grade — AKI num‐ ber — for a few tank fills. To avoid harmful en‐ gine deposits, it is highly recommended to purchase gasoline from BP or Top Tier retail‐ ers.

Use only Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel. The fraction of biodiesel in the fuel must not exceed 5 %, referred to as B5. Do not use gasoline. If you do fill the tank with the wrong fuel, e.g., gasoline, do not start the engine as this may damage the engine.◀ After adding the wrong fuel, contact your serv‐ ice center or roadside assistance. If the fuel pump nozzle does not fit in the filler pipe of your BMW, please check to ensure that you are refueling at a diesel fuel pump that is equipped with a diesel fuel pump nozzle. In the event the Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel cannot be fully inserted into the fuel filler neck, please contact BMW Roadside Assistance for instructions on how to add fuel. For more infor‐ mation on BMW Roadside Assistance, refer to page 240. BMW Advanced Diesel The concept BMW Advanced Diesel reduces nitrogen ox‐ ides in the diesel emissions by injecting diesel exhaust fluid reducing agent into the exhaust system. A chemical reaction takes place inside the catalytic converter that minimizes nitrogen oxides. The vehicle has two tanks, the active tank and the passive tank. The active tank can be refil‐ led in the engine compartment. The passive tank is refilled by the service center. To be able to start the engine as usual, there must be an adequate reducing agent. Warming up the system In order to warm the engine up to its operating temperature after a cold start, the automatic transmission may subsequently shift up to the next higher gear. Displays in the instrument cluster Winter diesel To ensure that the diesel engine remains op‐ erational in the winter, use winter diesel. It is available at gas stations during winter months. The fuel filter heating system, included as a standard feature, prevents disruption of the fuel supply while driving. Do not add any diesel additives Reserve display This display in the instrument cluster provides information about the distance that can still be driven with the current reserve level. The reserve indication is dis‐ played starting at approx. 600 miles/1,000 km remaining range.

Engine does not start Do not continue driving to the limit of the remaining travel distance. Otherwise, you will not be able to restart the engine after switch‐ ing it off.◀ Filling with incorrect fuel A Check Control message is displayed when the tank is filled with the incorrect fuel. After adding the wrong fuel, contact your serv‐ ice center. System defect A Check Control message is displayed when there is a system defect. Have the diesel exhaust fluid replenished The reducing agent is added by the service center within the context of regular mainte‐ nance. Provided you observe this maintenance schedule, it is normally necessary to replenish the fluid once between maintenance appoint‐ ments. It may be necessary to have the fluid replen‐ ished several times under particular circum‐ stances, for example, if the vehicle is driven in a particularly sporty style or if it is driven at high altitudes. 208 The reducing agent must be replenished as soon as the reserve display appears in the in‐ strument cluster to avoid not being able to re‐ start the engine. Diesel exhaust fluid at low temperatures Due to its physical properties, it is possible that reducing agent may also need to be re‐ plenished between regular maintenance ap‐ pointments if it is exposed to temperatures be‐ low + 23 ℉/- 5 ℃. In this case, add reducing agent only immediately before starting to drive. The need to replenish it is indicated by the Re‐ serve display in the instrument cluster. At temperatures below + 12 ℉/- 11 ℃ the fill level in some cases cannot be measured. After adding reducing agent, the reserve dis‐ play is displayed only until the fill level can be measured again. Replenishing Diesel exhaust fluid yourself in exceptional cases You can replenish reducing agent yourself in exceptional cases, e.g., to get to the service center. Avoid contact with Diesel exhaust fluid Do not come into contact with the reduc‐ ing agent. Otherwise, skin or eye irritations may result.◀ Handling Diesel exhaust fluid When working with reducing agent in closed spaces, ensure good ventilation.

Tire age DOT … 1013: the tire was manufactured in the 10th week 2013. Recommendation Regardless of wear, replace tires at least every 6 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: Treadwear 200; Traction AA; Temperature A DOT Quality Grades Treadwear Traction AA A B C Temperature A B C All passenger car tires must conform to Fed‐ eral Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. Treadwear The treadwear 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, 1 g, 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, however, and may depart signifi‐ cantly from the norm due to variations in driv‐ ing habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces 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, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics. 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 heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the ma‐ terial 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 Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum re‐ quired by law. Temperature grade for this tire The temperature grade for this tire is es‐ tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐ tion, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. If necessary, have the vehicle towed.◀ RSC – Run-flat tires Run-flat tires, refer to page 220, are labeled with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC marked on the sidewall.

Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can cause serious damage to wheels, tires and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cush‐ ioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires. Tire tread Summer tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.12 in/3 mm. There is an increased danger of hydroplaning if the tread depth is less than 0.12 in/3 mm. Winter tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.16 in/4 mm. Below a tread depth of 0.16 in/4 mm, tires are less suitable for winter operation. Minimum tread depth Indications of tire damage or other vehicle de‐ fects: ▷ Unusual vibrations during driving. ▷ Unusual handling such as a strong ten‐ dency to pull to the left or right. Damage can, e. g., be caused by driving over curbs, road damage, or similar things. In case of tire damage If there are indications of tire damage, re‐ duce your speed immediately and have the wheels and tires checked right away; other‐ wise, there is the increased risk of an accident. Drive carefully to the nearest service center. Have the vehicle towed or transported there. Otherwise, tire damage can become life threat‐ ening for vehicle occupants and also other road users.◀ Repair of tire damage Wear indicators are distributed around the tire's circumference and have the legally re‐ quired minimum height of 0.063 in/1.6 mm. They are marked on the side of the tire with TWI, Tread Wear Indicator. For safety reasons, the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you do not have damaged tires repaired; they should be re‐ placed. Otherwise, damage can occur as a re‐ sult.◀ Tire damage Changing wheels and tires General information Mounting Inspect your tires often for damage, foreign objects lodged in the tread, and tread wear. 218 Information on mounting tires Have mounting and balancing performed only by a service center.

Incorrect wheel and tire combinations impair the function of a variety of systems such as ABS or DSC. To maintain good handling and vehicle re‐ sponse, use only tires with a single tread con‐ figuration from a single manufacturer. Following tire damage, have the original wheel and tire combination remounted on the vehicle as soon as possible. Approved wheels and tires The manufacturer of your vehicle recom‐ mends that you use only wheels and tires that have been approved for your particular vehicle model. For example, despite having the same official size ratings, variations can lead to body con‐ tact and with it, the risk of severe accidents. The manufacturer of your vehicle cannot eval‐ uate non-approved wheels and tires to deter‐ mine if they are suited for use, and therefore cannot ensure the operating safety of the vehi‐ cle if they are mounted.◀ For each tire size, the manufacturer of your ve‐ hicle recommends certain tire brands. These can be identified by a star on the tire sidewall. With proper use, these tires meet the highest standards for safety and handling. New tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full traction potential until after an initial breakingin period. Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km. Retreaded tires The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐ ommend the use of retreaded tires. Retreaded tires Possibly substantial variations in the de‐ sign and age of the tire casing structures can limit service life and have a negative impact on road safety.◀ Winter tires Winter tires are recommended for operating on winter roads. Although so-called all-season M+S tires do provide better winter traction than summer tires, they do not provide the same level of per‐ formance as winter tires.

You can obtain this sign from the tire specialist or from your service center. Run-flat tires Label Maximum speed for winter tires Do not exceed the maximum speed for the respective winter tires; otherwise, tire dam‐ age and accidents can occur.◀ Run-flat tires If you are already using run-flat tires, for your own safety you should replace them only with the same kind. No spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire. Your service center will be glad to advise you. Rotating wheels between axles The manufacturer of your vehicle advises against switching wheels between the front and rear axles. This can impair the handling characteristics. 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 pres‐ sure indicated on the side wall of the tire. RSC label on the tire sidewall. The wheels are composed of special rims and tires that are self-supporting, to a limited de‐ gree. The support of the sidewall allows the tire to remain drivable to a restricted degree in the event of a pressure loss. Continued driving with a damaged tire, refer to page 112. Continued driving with a damaged tire, refer to page 109. Changing run-flat tires For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.

Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased wear and premature degradation of the leather surface. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 245 Mobility Care To guard against discoloration, such as from clothing, provide leather care roughly every two months. ularly when they have been exposed to road salt. Clean light-colored leather more frequently be‐ cause soiling on such surfaces is substantially more visible. Rubber components Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and grease will gradually break down the protective layer of the leather surface. When cleaning rubber seals, do not use any silicon-containing car care products in order to avoid damage or reduced noise damping. Suitable care products are available from the service center. Fine wood parts Upholstery material care Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Clean fine wood facing and fine wood compo‐ nents only with a moist rag. Then dry with a soft cloth. If they are very dirty, e.g., beverage stains, use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with a suita‐ ble interior cleaner. These include: Clean the upholstery down to the seams using large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the material vigorously. Damage from Velcro® fasteners Aside from water, treat only with rubber cleansers. Plastic components ▷ Imitation leather surfaces. ▷ Headliner. ▷ Lamp lenses. ▷ Instrument cluster cover. Open Velcro® fasteners on pants or other articles of clothing can damage the seat covers. Ensure that any Velcro® fasteners are closed.◀ ▷ Matte black spray-coated components. Caring for special components Do not soak the headliner. Light-alloy wheels ▷ Painted parts in the interior. Clean with a microfiber cloth. Lightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use cleansers that contain alcohol or solvents When cleaning the vehicle, use only neutral wheel cleaners having a pH value from 5 to 9. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or steam jets above 140 ℉/60 ℃. Follow the manufac‐ turer's instructions. Do not use cleansers that contain alcohol or solvents, such as lacquer thinners, heavy-duty grease removers, fuel, or such; this could lead to surface damage.◀ Aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents can destroy the protective layer of adjacent components, such as the brake disk. Safety belts Chrome surfaces Chemical cleaning Carefully clean components such as the radia‐ tor grille or door handles with an ample supply of water, possibly with shampoo added, partic‐ 246 Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and thus have a negative impact on safety. Do not clean chemically; this can destroy the webbing.◀ Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 926 740 - X/13 Care Use only a mild soapy solution, with the safety belts clipped into their buckles. Do not allow the reels to retract the safety belts until they are dry. Carpets and floor mats No objects in the area around the pedals Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other objects out of the area of motion of the pedals; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving and create the risk of an accident. Mobility Avoid pressing too hard when cleaning and do not use abrasive materials; otherwise, damage can result.◀ Long-term vehicle storage When the vehicle is shut down for longer than three months, special measures must be taken.
