Brake discs and brake pads only reach their full
effectiveness after approx. 300 miles/500 km.
Drive moderately during this break-in period.
Warning
Due to new parts and components, safety and
driver assistance systems can react with a de‐
lay. There is a risk of accident. After installing
new parts or with a new vehicle, drive conser‐
vatively and intervene early if necessary. Ob‐
serve the break-in procedures of the respective
parts and components.

Closing the tailgate
Safety information
Safety information
NOTICE
Warning
Objects in unpaved areas, for instance stones
or branches, can damage the vehicle. There is
a risk of damage to property. Do not drive on
unpaved terrain.
An open tailgate protrudes from the vehicle and
can endanger occupants and other traffic par‐
ticipants or damage the vehicle in the event of
an accident, braking or evasive maneuvers. In
addition, exhaust fumes may enter the car's in‐
terior. There is a risk of injury or risk of damage
to property. Do not drive with the tailgate open.
When driving on poor roads
For your own safety, for the safety of passengers
and of the vehicle, heed the following points:
Driving with the tailgate open
If driving with the tailgate open cannot be
avoided:
▷ Familiarize yourself with the vehicle before
driving.
▷ Do not take risks when driving.
▷ Close all windows and the glass sunroof.
▷ Greatly increase the air flow from the vents.
▷ Drive moderately.
▷ Adjust the speed to the road surface condi‐
tions. 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.
Hot exhaust gas system
▷ On steep downhill grades, use Hill Descent
Control HDC.
Warning
High temperatures can occur underneath the
body, for instance caused by the exhaust gas
system, while driving. Contact with the exhaust
gas system can cause burns. There is a risk of
injury. Do not touch the hot exhaust gas sys‐
tem, including the exhaust pipe.
▷ Avoid that the chassis bottom coming in con‐
tact with the ground.
The ground clearance is no more than 7.8 in‐
ches/20 cm and can vary according to the ve‐
hicle's load.
▷ When wheels continue to spin, depress the
accelerator so that driving stability control
systems can distribute the driving force to the
wheels. Activate DTC Dynamic Traction Con‐
trol if available.

DRIVING TIPS
Warning
▷ Drive through water only if it is not deeper
than a maximum of 9.8 inches/25 cm.
▷ Drive through water no faster than walking
speed, up to 3 mph/5 km/h.
If combustible materials, such as leaves or
grass, come in contact with hot parts of the ex‐
haust gas system, these materials can ignite.
There is a risk of fire and injuries. Do not re‐
move the heat shields installed and never apply
undercoating to them. Make sure that no com‐
bustible materials can come in contact with hot
vehicle parts in driving operation, idle or during
parking.
Safety information
NOTICE
When driving too quickly through too deep wa‐
ter, water can enter into the engine compart‐
ment, the electrical system or the transmission.
There is a risk of damage to property. When
driving through water, do not exceed the maxi‐
mum indicated water level and the maximum
speed for driving through water.
Mobile communication devices
in the vehicle
Warning
Braking safely
Vehicle electronics and mobile phones can in‐
fluence one another. There is radiation due to
the transmission operations of mobile phones.
There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to
property. If possible, in the car's interior use
only mobile phones with direct connections to
an exterior antenna in order to exclude mutual
interference and deflect the radiation from the
car's interior.
General information
The vehicle is equipped with ABS as a standard
feature.
Perform an emergency stop in situations that re‐
quire such.
Steering is still responsive. You can still avoid any
obstacles with a minimum of steering effort.
Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from the
hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is in its active
mode.
Hydroplaning
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can
form between the tires and road surface.
Objects in the movement area
around pedals and floor area
This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplaning.
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.
Warning
Objects in the driver's floor area can limit the
pedal distance or block a depressed pedal.
There is a risk of accident. Stow objects in the
vehicle such that they are secured and cannot
enter into the driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle and can be
safely attached to the floor. Do not use loose
floor mats and do not layer several floor mats.
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance for
Driving through water

curely fastened again after they were removed,
for instance for cleaning.
accident. Do not attempt to drive in idle state or
with the engine switched off.
Brake disc corrosion
Driving in wet conditions
When roads are wet, salted, or in heavy rain, gen‐
tly press the brake pedal every few miles.
Corrosion on the brake discs and contamination
on the brake pads are increased by the following
circumstances:
Ensure that this action does not endanger other
traffic.
▷ Low mileage.
▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not
used at all.
The heat generated during braking dries brake
discs and brake pads and protects them against
corrosion.
▷ Infrequent use of the brakes.
▷ Aggressive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning
agents.
In this way braking efficiency will be available
when you need it.
Corrosion buildup on the brake discs will cause a
pulsating effect on the brakes in their response -
generally this cannot be corrected.
Hills
General information
Condensation water under the
parked vehicle
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water develops and collects under‐
neath the vehicle.
Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear
that requires least braking effort. Otherwise, the
brakes may overheat and reduce brake effi‐
ciency.
You can increase the engine's braking effect by
shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
Driving on racetracks
Safety information
Warning
Warning
The vehicle is not designed for use in motor
sport type competition. Excessive race track
operation in the limit range can result in the
sudden failure or malfunction of components.
There is a risk of accident. Do not operate the
vehicle excessively in the limit range. Pay atten‐
tion to anomalies of the vehicle, for instance
brake grinding, and stop race track operation
where required.
Light but consistent brake pressure can lead to
high temperatures, brakes wearing out and
possibly even brake failure. There is a risk of
accident. Avoid placing excessive stress on the
brake system.
Warning
In idle state or with the engine switched off,
safety functions, for instance engine braking ef‐
fect, braking assistance and steering assis‐
tance, may not be available. There is a risk of
Higher mechanical and thermal loads during
racetrack operation lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the warranty.

Vehicle features and
options
Warning
Unexpected movements of the rear seat back‐
rest while driving may occur due to uninten‐
tional unlocking of the rear seat backrests by
the straps. There is a risk of injury. Do not fas‐
ten any objects to the straps for unlocking the
rear backrests.
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for instance, 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 ob‐
served.
Warning
Improperly stowed objects can shift and be
thrown into the car's interior, for instance in the
event of an accident or during braking and eva‐
sive maneuver. Vehicle occupants can be hit
and injured. There is a risk of injury. Stow and
secure objects and cargo properly.
Safety information
Warning
High gross weight can overheat the tires, dam‐
age them internally and cause a sudden drop in
tire inflation pressure. Driving characteristics
may be negatively impacted, reducing lane sta‐
bility, lengthening the braking distances and
changing the steering response. There is a risk
of accident. Pay attention to the permitted load
capacity of the tires and never exceed the per‐
mitted gross weight.
NOTICE
Fluids in the cargo area can cause damage.
There is a risk of damage to property. Make
sure that no fluids leak in the cargo area.
Steps for Determining
Correct Load Limit
Warning
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight
of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard.
Loose objects or devices with a cable connec‐
tion to the vehicle, for instance mobile phones,
can be thrown about the car's interior while
driving, for instance in the event of an accident,
braking or evasive maneuver. There is a risk of
injury. Secure loose objects or devices with a
cable connection to the vehicle in the car's in‐
terior.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver
and passengers that will be riding in your ve‐
hicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals

Loading
DRIVING TIPS
1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lbs pas‐
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa‐
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs)
▷ The cargo area, refer to page 205, can be ex‐
panded to transport large or bulky cargo.
▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of the
backrests.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
▷ Use the cargo area partition net, refer to
page 208, to protect occupants. Make sure
that objects cannot penetrate the cargo area
partition net.
▷ Smaller and light cargo: secure with ratchet
straps or draw straps.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transferred to your ve‐
hicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
▷ Larger and heavy cargo: secure with cargo
straps.
Lashing eyes in the cargo
area
Load
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
With cargo area partition net or ski and snow‐
board bag: to secure the cargo there are six lash‐
ing eyes in the cargo area.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.
Attach load securing aids, such as lashing straps,
tensioning straps, draw straps or cargo nets, to
the lashing eyes in the cargo area.
Stowing and securing
cargo
Only use the lower lashing eyes to secure the
cargo with the cargo area partition net.
▷ Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo.
Roof-mounted luggage
rack
▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possible,
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.
General information
Installation only possible with roof rack.
Roof racks are available as special accessories.

Loading
DRIVING TIPS
Safety information
Warning
When driving with a roof load, for instance with
roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle's cen‐
ter of gravity is higher, which increases the risk
of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situa‐
tions. There may be a risk of accident or risk of
damage to property. Do not deactivate DSC
Dynamic Stability Control when driving with
roof load.
Securing
Follow the installation instructions of the roof
rack.
Loading
Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise the
vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they
have a major effect on vehicle handling and
steering response.
Therefore, note the following when loading and
driving:
▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle loads
and the approved gross vehicle weight.
▷ Be sure that adequate clearance is main‐
tained for tilting and opening the glass sun‐
roof.
▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly.
▷ The roof load should not extend past the
loading area.
▷ Always place the heaviest pieces on the bot‐
tom.
▷ Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance
using ratchet straps.
▷ Do not let objects project into the opening
path of the tailgate.
▷ Drive cautiously and avoid sudden accelera‐
tion and braking maneuvers. Take corners
gently.

Reducing fuel consumption
DRIVING TIPS
Reducing fuel consumption
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aerody‐
namics and increase the fuel consumption.
Vehicle features and
options
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for instance, 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 ob‐
served.
Close the windows and
glass sunroof
Driving with the glass sunroof and windows open
results in increased air resistance and thereby re‐
duces the range.
Tires
General information
General information
Tires can affect consumption in various ways, for
instance tire size may influence consumption.
The vehicle contains advanced technologies for
the reduction of consumption and emission val‐
ues.
Check the tire inflation pressure
regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before start‐
ing on a long trip.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐
ferent factors.
Carrying out certain measures, such as a moder‐
ate driving style and regular maintenance, can in‐
fluence fuel consumption and the environmental
impact.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐
sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and
tire wear.
Remove unnecessary
cargo
Drive away immediately
Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while the
vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right
away, but at moderate engine speeds.
Remove attached parts
following use
This is the quickest way of warming the cold en‐
gine up to operating temperature.
Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof-mounted or rear
luggage racks which are no longer required fol‐
lowing use.

Reducing fuel consumption
DRIVING TIPS
duced. Savings can begin within a few seconds
of switching off the engine.
Look well ahead when
driving
In addition, fuel consumption is also determined
by other factors, such as driving style, road con‐
ditions, maintenance or environmental factors.
Driving smoothly and proactively reduces fuel
consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
Switch off any functions
that are not currently
needed
By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle
driving ahead of you.
Avoid high engine speeds
Functions such as seat heating and the rear win‐
dow defroster require a lot of energy and reduce
the range, especially in city and stop-and-go traf‐
fic.
Driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel con‐
sumption and reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehicle's gear shift indi‐
cator, refer to page 126.
Switch off these functions if they are not needed.
The ECO PRO driving mode supports the en‐
ergy conserving use of comfort features. These
functions are automatically deactivated partially
or completely.
Use coasting
When approaching a red light, take your foot off
the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt.
Have maintenance carried
out
For going downhill take your foot off the acceler‐
ator and let the vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
Have the vehicle maintained regularly to achieve
optimal vehicle efficiency and service life. BMW
recommends that maintenance work be per‐
formed by a BMW service center.
Switch off the engine
during longer stops
For information on the BMW Maintenance Sys‐
tem, refer to page 259.
Switching off the engine
Switch off the engine during longer stops, for in‐
stance at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in
traffic congestion.
