Battery care

moderate climatic conditions. Your

gate carefully. Continue to hold it firmly
until it is completely closed.<
If light-alloy wheels other than Genuine
BMW light-alloy wheels have been
mounted, it may be necessary to use
different lug bolts for those wheels.
Protect valve stems and valves from dirt
using screw-on valve stem caps. Dirt in
the valve stems frequently leads to slow
leaks.
Charging battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle
via the terminals in the engine compart-
ment with the engine off. For correct
connections, refer to Jump starting on
page 171.
Replace the defective tire as soon as
possible and have the new wheel/tire
balanced.
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not
attempt to raise another vehicle model
with it or to raise any load of any kind.
To do so could cause accidents and
personal injury.
To ensure safety, always have the lug
bolts checked with a calibrated torque
wrench as soon as possible to ensure
that they are tightened to the specified
torque. The tightening torque is
101 ft-lb/140 Nm.<
Driving with spare wheel
Do not exceed a speed of
130 mph/210 km/h, otherwise tire
damage could lead to accidents.<
Disposal
Following replacement, have old
batteries disposed of by your
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center or
hand them in to a recycling center.
Maintain the battery in an upright posi-
tion for transport and storage. Always
restrain the battery to prevent it from
tipping over during transport.<
With certain wheel-and-tire com-
binations the size of the spare
wheel differs from that of the other
wheels. To restore the original state,
the normal wheel should be remounted
as soon as possible.<

Power failure
Following a temporary power failure,
e.g. in the case of a flat battery, some
equipment is subject to restricted use
and must be reinitialized. Individual set-
tings are also lost and must be updated
again:
>Seat, mirror and steering wheel
memory
The positions must be newly stored,
refer to page 50
>Time and date
Have to be updated, refer to page 85
>Activation time for independent venti-
lation
In glove compartment
In cargo area
Open the fuse cover in the glove com-
partment by the indentations on the
right and left.
Open the right cover by pulling the
handle.
Has to be updated again, refer to
page 87.
Never attempt to repair a blown
fuse, and do not replace a defec-
tive fuse with a substitute of another
color or amperage rating, as this could
lead to a circuit overload, ultimately
resulting in a fire in the vehicle.<
