General information  
Vehicle features and options  
Information on service requirements, refer to  
page 92, can be displayed on the Control Dis‐  
play.  
This chapter describes all standard, country-  
specific and optional features offered with the  
series. It also describes features that are not  
necessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due  
to the selected options or country versions.  
This also applies to safety-related functions  
and systems. When using these functions and  
systems, the applicable laws and regulations  
must be observed.  
Service data in the remote control  
Information on the required maintenance is  
continuously stored in the remote control. The  
dealer’s service center can read this data out  
and suggest a maintenance scope for the vehi‐  
cle.  
Therefore, hand the service advisor the remote  
control with which the vehicle was driven most  
recently.  
BMW maintenance system  
The maintenance system indicates required  
maintenance measures, and thereby provides  
support in maintaining road safety and the op‐  
erational reliability of the vehicle.  
Storage periods  
Storage periods during which the vehicle bat‐  
tery was disconnected are not taken into ac‐  
count.  
In some cases, scopes and intervals may vary  
according to the country-specific version. Re‐  
placement work, spare parts, fuels and lubri‐  
cants, and wear materials are calculated sepa‐  
rately. Further information is available from a  
dealer’s service center or another qualified  
service center or repair shop.  
If this occurs, have a dealer's service center or  
another qualified service center or repair shop  
update the time-dependent maintenance pro‐  
cedures, such as checking brake fluid and, if  
necessary, changing the engine oil and the mi‐  
crofilter/activated-charcoal filter.

Concept  
Sensors and special algorithms take into ac‐  
count the driving conditions of the vehicle.  
CBS uses these to calculate the need for  
maintenance.  
The system makes it possible to adapt the  
amount of maintenance corresponding to your  
user profile.  
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends  
that maintenance and repair be performed by a  
dealer’s service center or another qualified

service center or repair shop. Records of regu‐

Diagnosis  
The warning lamp flashes under certain  
circumstances:  
This indicates that there is excessive mis‐  
firing in the engine.  
Safety information  
NOTE  
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the  
system checked immediately; otherwise,  
serious engine misfiring within a brief pe‐  
riod can seriously damage emission con‐  
trol components, in particular the catalytic  
converter.  
The socket for Onboard Diagnosis is an  
intricate component intended to be used in  
conjunction with specialized equipment to  
check the vehicle’s primary emissions system.  
Improper use of the socket for Onboard Diag‐  
nosis, or contact with the socket for Onboard  
Diagnosis for other than its intended purpose,  
can cause vehicle malfunctions and creates  
risks of personal and property damage. Given  
the foregoing, the manufacture of your vehicle  
strongly recommends that access to the  
socket for Onboard Diagnosis be limited to a  
dealer's service center or another qualified  
service center or repair shop or other persons  
that have the specialized training and equip‐  
ment for purposes of properly utilizing the  
socket for Onboard Diagnosis.◀  
Position  
There is an OBD socket on the driver's side for  
checking the primary components in the vehi‐  
cle's emissions.
