Validity of the Owner's Manual
Production of the vehicle
At the time of production at the plant, the
printed Owner's Manual is the most current
resource. Due to updates after the editorial
deadline, differences may exist between the
printed Owner's Manual and the Integrated
Owner's Manual in the vehicle.
Maintenance and repairs
Advanced technology, for instance the use of
modern materials and high-performance elec-
tronics, requires suitable maintenance and re-
pair work.
The vehicle manufacturer therefore recom-
mends having necessary work performed by
an authorized service center, e.g., a BMW
dealer or service center. If a different repair
shop is selected, BMW recommends select-
ing a workshop that performs the appropriate
work such as maintenance and repair accord-
ing to BMW specifications with properly trained
personnel. In the Owner's Manual, such work-
shops are referred to as "another qualified
service center or repair shop".
Notes on updates can be found in the appen-
dix of the printed Owner's Manual for the vehi-
cle.
After a software update in the vehicle
After a vehicle software update such as via Re-
mote Software Upgrade the Integrated Own-
er's Manual for the vehicle will contain the lat-
est information.
If work is not carried out properly, for instance
maintenance and repair, there is a risk of sub-
sequent damages and related safety risks.
