Vehicle equipment

This chapter describes equipment, systems

and functions which are offered or may be of-

fered in future on a model-specific basis, even

if they are not included in the vehicle in ques-

tion.

NOTICE

If the range drops below 50 km, approx.

30 miles, the engine may no longer be sup-

plied with sufficient fuel. The engine functions

are no longer ensured. There is a risk of ma-

terial damage. Refuel in good time.

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:

▷

The supply is stopped too soon.

Fuel vapour recovery is less effective.

The retaining strap of the fuel filler cap may

become trapped and crushed when turning

the cap to close it. As a result, the cap may

not be closed properly. Fuel or fuel vapours

can leak out. There is a danger of injury or

material damage. Make sure that the retain-

ing strap does not get trapped and crushed

when closing the cap.

The fuel tank is full when the fuel pump nozzle

cuts out for the first time.

This chapter describes equipment, systems

and functions which are offered or may be of-

fered in future on a model-specific basis, even

if they are not included in the vehicle in ques-

tion.

For further information:

Vehicle equipment, see page 8.

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

The specified tyre inflation pressure value is

located towards the bottom of the control dis-

play.

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.

Checking using tyre inflation pressure

information on the body pillar

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

cialist workshop. If necessary, have the vehi-

cle towed or transported there. Do not repair

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.

Tyre age

Safety information

Recommendation

WARNING

Irrespective of the tyre tread depth, change

tyres after 6 years at the latest.

Wheels and tyres that are not suitable for

the vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle.

There is a risk of accident. The manufacturer

of the vehicle recommends only using wheels

and tyres that have been approved as suita-

ble for the vehicle type concerned.

Production date

The production date of the tyre can be found

on the tyre sidewall.

WARNING

Mounted steel wheels can lead to technical

problems, for example wheel bolts may work

loose and brake discs may be damaged.

There is a risk of accident. Do not install steel

wheels.

Replacement of wheels and

tyres

Fitting and balancing

Have the wheel fitted and balanced by an au-

thorised Service Partner or another qualified

Service Partner or a specialist workshop.

WARNING

Unsuitable wheel and tyre combinations will

impair the vehicle's driving characteristics

and a variety of system functions, for exam-

ple the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) or

Dynamic Stability Control. There is a risk of

365

MOBILITY

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

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.

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.

MOBILITY

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-

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.

vals with a cloth or vacuum cleaner.

NOTICE

Open hook and loop fasteners on articles of

clothing can damage the seat covers and

other cloth upholstery in the vehicle. There is

a risk of material damage. Make sure that the

hook and loop fasteners are closed.

Dust and road dirt will otherwise become

worked into pores and folds, resulting in con-

siderable abrasion and causing the leather

surface to become prematurely brittle.

To protect against discolouration, for example

from clothing, clean and care for the leather

approximately every two months.

Care of upholstery fabrics

Clean light-coloured leather more frequently as

it has the tendency to soil faster.

Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
