You can operate the system when the ignition
key is in position 2.
If the device cannot be used after
repeated programming, check whether
the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter-
nating-code system. To do so, either read the
instructions for the original hand-held transmit-
ter or press the programmed memory button1
of the integrated universal remote control
longer. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal
remote control flashes rapidly for a short time
then lights up for approx. 2 seconds, this indi-
cates that the original hand-held transmitter
uses an alternating-code system. In the case of
an alternating-code system, program the mem-
ory buttons1 as described at Alternating-code
hand-held transmitters.<

the equipment to be set. You will find informa-
tion there on the possibilities for synchroniza-
tion.
When programming hand-held transmitters
that employ an alternating code, please observe

LEDs Light-emitting diodes
Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
cent lenses serve as the light source for many of
the controls and displays in your vehicle. These
light-emitting diodes, which operate using a
concept similar to that applied in conventional
lasers, are officially designated as Class 1 light-
emitting diodes.
Do not remove the covers, and never
stare into the unfiltered light several
hours, as irritation of the retina could result.<
Changing a wheel
Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as
standard. An immediate wheel change in the
event of a flat tire is therefore no longer
required.
You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular
symbol containing the letters RSC on the side
of the tire, refer to Run-flat tires on page171.
If you have new tires mounted or switch from
summer to winter tires, or vice versa, use run-
flat tires, as in the event of a flat tire there is no
spare tire available. Your BMW center will be
glad to advise you.
Also refer to New wheels and tires, page172.
Car jacking points
The jacking points for the car jack are located in
the positions shown.
The suitable tools for changing tires are
available as accessories from your BMW
center.<
Vehicle battery
Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e., the
electrolyte will last for the life of the battery
when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli-
mate.
Your BMW center will be glad to advise in all
matters concerning the battery.
Charging battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the
terminals in the engine compartment with the
engine switched off. For the connections, refer
to Jump starting on page186.
Disposal
After replacement, have old batteries dis-
posed of by your BMW center or deposit
them at a recycling center. Maintain the battery
in an upright position for transport and storage.
Always secure the battery to prevent it from tip-
ping over during transport.<
