NOTICE
Things to consider when
refuelling
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive sub-
stances. Overfilling the fuel tank can damage
the fuel system. If fuel comes into contact
with paintwork, it can damage it. The envi-
ronment is polluted. There is a risk of mate-
rial damage. Avoid overfilling.
General
Before refuelling, take note of the fuel grade
information.
On vehicles with diesel engine, the fuel filler
neck is designed for refuelling at diesel pumps.
Fuel filler cap
Safety information
WARNING
When topping up, hook the fuel pump noz-
zle fully into the filler pipe. Lifting the fuel
pump nozzle while topping up will cause the
following to happen:
▷
▷

Tyre inflation pressure
The tyre inflation pressure information is loca-
ted on the body pillar of the driver's door.
General
The tyre inflation pressures apply to all tyre
sizes and recommended tyre makes that have
been approved by the vehicle manufacturer as
suitable for the model version. The list can also
include tyre sizes that are only suitable in com-
bination with specific equipment.
The tyre condition and tyre inflation pressure
influence the following:
▷

▷
Tyre service life.
Driving safety.
Driving comfort.
Fuel consumption.
Information about approved wheels and tyres
for the vehicle can be requested from an au-
thorised Service Partner or another qualified
Service Partner or specialist workshop.
Safety information
The tyre inflation pressure appropriate for the
respective load conditions should be used. For
partially loaded vehicles, the specified tyre in-
flation pressure for a partially loaded vehicle,
for example, is the optimum tyre inflation pres-
sure.
WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation pres-
sure can heat up significantly and sustain
damage. Handling characteristics, for exam-
ple steering and braking, will be impaired as
a result. There is a risk of accident. Check the
tyre inflation pressure regularly, for example
twice a month or before any long journey,
and correct as necessary.
For Australia/New Zealand
WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre label are
applicable only for tyre types explicitly men-
tioned on the label. Tyre inflation pressures

but not explicitly mentioned on the label may
be different. Please obtain adequate inflation
pressures in accordance with the tyre manu-
facturer's specifications from your tyre dealer.
The tyre inflation pressure information on the
tyre pressure label on the body pillar only re-
lates to cold tyres or tyres at the same temper-
ature as the ambient temperature.
Only check the tyre inflation pressures when
the tyres are cold, i.e.:
On the control display
▷
If the vehicle has been driven a distance of
no more than 2 km, 1.25 miles.
The current tyre inflation pressures and the
specified tyre inflation pressures for the instal-
led tyres can be displayed on the control dis-
play.
▷
If the vehicle has not moved again for at
least 2 hours after a journey.
If equipped with an emergency tyre: check the
tyre inflation pressure of the emergency wheel
in the luggage compartment regularly and cor-
rect if necessary.
To ensure that they are displayed correctly, the
tyre sizes must be stored in the system and
must have been set for the fitted tyres.
The current tyre inflation pressure value is
shown on each tyre.
Checking using the tyre inflation
pressure information on the control
display

6. Correct the tyre inflation pressure if the cur-
rent tyre inflation pressure deviates from
the specified tyre inflation pressure.
The tyres have a natural, uniform tyre pressure
loss.
The pressures displayed by some pressure
gauges may be up to 0.1 bar too low.
The current tyre inflation pressure on the con-
trol display may be restricted when the vehicle
is stationary. The tyre inflation pressure is up-
dated after a short drive.

After adjusting the tyre inflation
pressure
1. Determine the specified tyre inflation pres-
sures for the tyres installed on the vehicle.
If equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitor, tyre
inflation pressure corrections are applied auto-
matically. Make sure that the tyre settings are
correct. For tyres that are not listed in the tyre
inflation pressure information on the control
display, reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor.
2. Check the tyre inflation pressure in all four
tyres, using a pressure gauge, for example.
3. Correct the tyre inflation pressure if the cur-
rent tyre inflation pressure deviates from

damaged tyres. Have them replaced.
Permissible wheels and tyres
General
Depending on the vehicle and equipment, only
certain wheel/tyre combinations are suitable.
The wheel/tyre combinations are determined
by the manufacturer of the vehicle on the basis
of the following criteria:
WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by driving
over obstacles, for example kerbs or dam-
aged road surfaces, at high speed. Larger
wheels have a smaller tyre cross-section.
The smaller the tyre cross-section, the higher
the risk of tyre damage. There is a risk of ac-
cident and material damage. If possible, drive
around obstacles or drive over them slowly
and carefully.
▷
Tyre size; for example, tyre width, aspect
ratio.
▷
Wheel size; for example rim diameter, off-
set.
Information on the suitable wheels and tyres
for the vehicle, as well as the special equip-
ment, can be obtained from an authorised
Service Partner, another qualified Service Part-
ner or a specialist workshop.

accident. The manufacturer of the vehicle
recommends only using wheels and tyres
that have been approved as suitable for the
vehicle type concerned. After a tyre has been
damaged, refit the same wheel/tyre combi-
nation as the original.
New tyres
Due to the manufacturing process, new tyres
do not achieve their full road grip immediately.
Drive moderately for the first 300 km,
200 miles.
Retreaded tyres
WARNING
WARNING
Unsuitable wheel bolts, such as one-piece
wheel bolts, may loosen or come off. The
wheel may come off while driving. There
is a risk of accident. Only use two-piece
wheel bolts that have been rated by the ve-
hicle manufacturer as being suitable for the
wheels concerned.
Retreaded tyres may have different tyre car-
casses. Their durability may be restricted due
to their advanced age. There is a risk of
accident. The vehicle manufacturer advises
against the use of retreaded tyres.
Winter tyres
Recommended makes of tyre
General
For each vehicle, tyre types are developed that
are optimised specifically for the individual re-
quirements of the vehicle. For example:
Winter tyres are recommended if driving in
winter conditions.
▷
▷
▷
Handling.
The winter tyres can be identified by the
mountain and snowflake icon, as well as the
M+S marking on the tyre sidewall.
Comfort.
Noise characteristics.
The specially developed tyres are marked with
a star on the tyre sidewall. After replacing
wheels and tyres, the vehicle manufacturer
recommends using tyres with a star marking
again. The manufacturer of the vehicle recom-
mends that tyres of the same make and tread
design are used.
So-called all-season tyres with M+S marking
but without symbol with mountain and snow-
flake have better winter properties than sum-
mer tyres. As a rule, all-season tyres do not
achieve the performance of winter tyres.
Maximum speed of winter tyres
If the vehicle is capable of maximum speed
higher than the speed permitted for the winter

tyres, a sign stating the speed limit for the
tyres fitted must be displayed in the driver's
field of view. The sign is available from an au-
thorised Service Partner or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
Storage
▷
Store wheels and tyres in a cool, dry and
dark place when not in use.
▷
Protect the tyres against contamination
from oil, grease and solvents.
When winter tyres are fitted, observe the
speed limit of the winter tyres and do not ex-
ceed it.
▷
▷
Do not leave tyres in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from the wheels or tyres.
Changing from run-flat tyres
Run-flat tyres
When changing from run-flat tyres to stand-
ard tyres, make sure that a emergency spare
wheel or a flat tyre kit is available in the vehi-
cle. Additional information is available from an
authorised Service Partner or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
Principle
In the event of a complete tyre pressure loss,
run-flat tyres enable you to continue driving,
with certain restrictions.
Wheel change between axles
General
The wheels are fitted with tyres which are self-
supporting to a limited degree. The wheels
may also have special rims.
WARNING
Wheel change between axles on vehicles
with different tyre sizes or rims on the front
and rear may cause tyre damage and dam-
age to the vehicle. There is a risk of accident.
Do not swap wheels between axles on vehi-
cles with different tyre sizes or rims on the
front and rear.
The reinforced sidewall means that the tyre
keeps the vehicle mobile to a degree, even if
tyre inflation pressure has been lost.
Observe the notes on continuing driving with a
flat tyre.
Safety information
Depending on the individual operating condi-
tions, the tyre tread wears differently on the
front and rear axles. To achieve even abrasion,
the tyres can be swapped in pairs between the
axles. Additional information is available from
an authorised Service Partner or another quali-
fied Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
After changing the wheels, check the tyre infla-
tion pressure and correct if necessary.
WARNING
A run-flat tyre with too little or no tyre infla-
tion pressure will change the vehicle's han-
dling characteristics, for example there may
be reduced directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and different self-
steering properties. There is a risk of acci-
dent. Drive with care and do not exceed a
speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
Storing tyres

Tyre Pressure Monitor
Principle
Rear-wheel steering with snow
chains
The Tyre Pressure Monitor monitors the tyre
pressure and issues a warning if the tyre pres-
sure has dropped.
General
In order to guarantee freedom of movement of
the wheels when operating with snow chains,
rear-wheel steering must be turned off when
snow chains are mounted.
General
Sensors in the tyre valves measure the tyre
inflation pressure and tyre air temperature.
Depending on the tyres detected or entered,
the system displays the specified nominal
pressures on the control display and compares
them to the current tyre inflation pressures.
The rear-wheel steering is switched on again
automatically above the permitted maximum
speed for snow chains of 50 km/h, approx.
30 mph.
If the vehicle is fitted with tyres which are not
listed in the tyre inflation pressure information
on the vehicle, for example tyres with special
approval, the system must be actively reset.
The current tyre inflation pressures are then
accepted as the nominal pressures.
The setting for fitted snow chains is possible
only below 50 km/h, approx. 30 mph.
Safety information
WARNING
When operating the system, please also com-
ply with the information and notes in the chap-
ter on tyre inflation pressure.
If the rear-wheel steering is activated while
snow chains are fitted, the snow chains may
come into contact with the vehicle bodywork.
There is a risk of accident or material dam-
age. Switch off the rear-wheel steering when
snow chains are fitted.

tyre pressure loss can no longer be guaran-
teed. There is a danger of injury or material
damage. Make sure that the tyre sizes of the
fitted tyres are displayed correctly and that
they match the specifications on the tyres
and in the tyre inflation pressure information.
The tyre sizes of the fitted tyres can be found
in the tyre inflation pressure information on the
vehicle or directly on the tyres.
The tyre data does not have to be re-entered if
the tyre inflation pressure is being corrected.
For summer and winter tyres, the tyre data last

Run-flat tyres
Safety information
WARNING
With a moderate load and with low stress,
the vehicle can be driven for up to 80 km,
50 miles.
A run-flat tyre with too little or no tyre infla-
tion pressure will change the vehicle's han-
dling characteristics, for example there may
be reduced directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and different self-
steering properties. There is a risk of acci-
dent. Drive with care and do not exceed a
speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
Driving properties with damaged tyres
Driving with damaged tyres changes the vehi-
cle's handling characteristics and may lead to
situations such as the following:
▷
▷
▷
The vehicle losing traction more quickly.
Longer stopping distances.
WARNING
Different self-steering properties.
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can cause
heavy trailers to start snaking. There is a risk
of accident or material damage. When driving
with a trailer and a flat tyre, do not exceed the
speed of 60 km/h, 35 mph. If the trailer starts
to snake, brake immediately and make the
necessary steering corrections as carefully as
possible.
Adapt your driving style. Avoid abrupt steering
or driving over obstacles, for example kerbs or
potholes.
Final tyre failure
Vibration or loud noises during the journey
may be an indication that the tyre has finally
failed.
Reduce your speed and stop the vehicle. Parts
of the tyre may detach, which might lead to an
accident.
Maximum speed
If a tyre is damaged you can continue driv-
ing, but do not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h, 50 mph.
Do not continue driving, but instead contact an
authorised Service Partner or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
Continuing driving with a flat tyre
System limits
Observe the following if you continue driving
with a flat tyre:
Temperature
The tyre inflation pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre.
1. Avoid heavy braking and sudden steering
manoeuvres.
2. Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h,
50 mph.
The tyre inflation pressure increases as the
tyre air temperature increases, for example
while driving or when exposed to sunlight.

The tyre inflation pressure decreases when the
tyre air temperature drops.
Flat tyre monitor
Due to the given warning thresholds, therefore,
this behaviour may cause a warning to be trig-
gered when significant temperature drops oc-
cur.
Principle
The flat tyre monitor detects a tyre pressure
loss while driving and issues a warning if the
tyre pressure has dropped.
After a temperature-related warning, the nom-
inal pressures are displayed again on the con-
trol display after driving a short distance.
General
The system identifies a tyre pressure loss by
comparing the rotational speeds of the individ-
ual wheels during the journey.
Sudden tyre pressure loss
No warning can be given by the system in
the event of extreme, sudden tyre damages
caused by external factors.
A tyre pressure loss changes the diameter,
and with it the rotational speed, of the corre-
sponding wheel. The discrepancy is detected
and reported as a flat tyre.
Reset not carried out
The system does not measure the tyre infla-
tion pressure as such.
Tyres with special approval: the system will not
function correctly if a reset has not been car-
ried out, for example, a flat tyre may be repor-
ted even though the tyre pressure is correct.

The jack is only intended for raising the vehi-
cle briefly during a wheel change. Even if the
safety measures are complied with, there is
a risk of the raised vehicle falling over due to
the jack slipping. There is a danger of injury
or danger to life. If the vehicle is raised with
the jack, do not lie underneath the vehicle

detected. Therefore check the tyre inflation
pressure at regular intervals.
WARNING
▷
No warning can be given in the event of
extreme, sudden tyre damages caused by
external factors.
Supports such as wooden blocks under the
jack can prevent it from achieving its load ca-
pacity due to the restricted height. The load
capacity of the wooden blocks may be excee-
ded, causing the vehicle to tip over. There is
a danger of injury or danger to life. Do not
place supports under the jack.

highly aggressive. There is a risk of mate-
rial damage. Do not allow reducing agent to
come into contact with vehicle surfaces.
If you keep to this maintenance schedule, a
single top-up is generally required between the
maintenance appointments.
Under certain circumstances, for example due
to particularly dynamic driving style or operat-
ing the vehicle with a trailer, it may be neces-
sary to top up more than once between main-
tenance appointments.
Suitable AdBlue
AdBlue complying with ISO 22241-1
At many service stations, reducing agent is
available at a special pump dispenser. Prefera-
bly top up with reducing agent at a pump dis-
penser.
As soon as the fuel reserve indicator light is
shown in the instrument cluster, have the re-
ducing agent topped up, to avoid problems ac-
tivating drive-ready state.
If no pump dispenser is available, reducing
agent can be topped up from a container. Re-
ducing agent is available in various containers.
Preferably use the special bottle recommen-
ded by BMW. With this bottle and its special
adapter, reducing agent can be topped up con-
veniently.

Regular care promotes driving safety and pre-
serves your vehicle's value. Environmental ef-
fects in areas with high air pollution or natural
contaminants, for example tree resin or pollen,
may affect the vehicle paintwork. Take such
factors into consideration when deciding on
the frequency and scope of vehicle care meas-
ures.
Immediately remove aggressive substances,
such as sunscreen, to prevent the synthetic
leather from being altered or discoloured.
