MaintenanceVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the se‐
lected special equipment or national version.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant na‐
tional regulations when using the correspond‐
ing functions and systems.
BMW Maintenance System
The maintenance system points out the nec‐
essary maintenance measures and so sup‐
ports in maintaining the road and operational
safety of the vehicle.
Scopes and intervals may vary depending on
national version. Replacement work, spare
parts, operating materials and wear material
are calculated separately. Further information
is available from a Service Partner or a qualified
specialist workshop.
Condition Based Service,
CBS
Sensors and advanced algorithms monitor the
conditions in which your vehicle is used. Con‐
dition Based Service uses this information to
calculate the maintenance requirements.
The system thus enables adaptation of the
scope of maintenance to the individual usage
profile.
Detailed information on service requirements,
see page 87, can be displayed at the Control
Display.Service data in the remote control
Information on maintenance requirements is
continually saved in the remote control. The Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop can read out this data and suggest an op‐
timised maintenance scope for your vehicle.
This is why you should hand over the remote
control that was last used for driving to your
service advisor with the vehicle.
Periods out of use
Immobilisation periods with the vehicle battery
disconnected are not taken into account.
Updating the time-dependent maintenance
scope such as brake fluid and any engine oil
and microfilter or activated carbon filter can be
done by a Service Partner or a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
Service history Have maintenance and repair carried out by a
Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
The maintenance work carried out is entered in
the proof of maintenance and the vehicle data.
The entries are, just like a service booklet, evi‐
dence of regular maintenance.
If an entry is made in the electronic service his‐
tory of the vehicle, service-relevant data is not
only saved in the vehicle but also on the central
IT systems of BMW AG, Munich.
The data entered in the electronic service his‐
tory can also be viewed by the new vehicle
owner after a change of vehicle owner. In addi‐
tion, all Service Partners and other authorised
and qualified specialist workshops can view
the data entered in the electronic service his‐
tory.Seite 191MaintenanceMobility191

General careVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the se‐
lected special equipment or national version.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant na‐
tional regulations when using the correspond‐
ing functions and systems.
Washing the vehicle

leaves, with the bonnet opened in the area be‐
neath with windscreen.
Especially in winter, wash the car more fre‐
quently. Very high levels of dirt and spreading
salt can cause damage to the car.
Steam-jet cleaners and high-pressure
cleaners

ers, excessive pressure or excessive tempera‐
tures can damage various components. Dan‐
ger of damage to property. Ensure a sufficient
distance and do not spray for an extended pe‐
riod of time. Comply with the instructions for
the high-pressure cleaner.◀
Distances and temperature▷Maximum temperature: 60 ℃/140 ℉.▷Minimum distance to sensors, cameras,
seals: 30 cm, approx. 12 in.▷Minimum distance to the Glass Roof:
80 cm, approx. 31.5 in.
Automatic car washes.
Notes ATTENTION
Water can penetrate in the window area
due to high pressure washers. Danger of dam‐
age to property. Avoid high pressure wash‐
ers.◀
▷Textile car washes or systems using soft
brushes are preferable, to avoid damage to
the paintwork.▷Make sure the wheels and tyres are not
damaged by the conveying mechanism.▷Fold in the exterior mirrors, as they could
otherwise sustain damage due to the vehi‐
cle's width.▷Deactivate the rain sensor, see page 72, to
avoid unintentional operation of the wipers.▷In some instances, depending on the inte‐
rior movement detector of the alarm sys‐
tem, a false alarm may be triggered. Ob‐
serve the notes on avoiding false alarm,
see page 43.
ATTENTION
Excessively high guide rails in car
washes can damage parts of the body. Danger

strict the pedal travel, or block a pedal that has
been pressed. Danger of accidents. Stow
items in the vehicle so that they are secure and
cannot get into the driver's footwell. Only use
floor mats that have been categorised as ap‐
propriate for the vehicle and that can be fas‐
tened accordingly. Do not use any loose floor
mats, and do not place several floor mats on
top of one another. Make sure that there is suf‐
ficient space for the pedals. Ensure that the
floor mats are securely reattached after having
been removed, for example for cleaning.◀
Floor mats can be removed from the vehicle to
enable the interior to be cleaned more thor‐
oughly.
In the event of heavy soiling, clean floor car‐
pets using a microfibre cloth and water or tex‐tile cleaner. In doing so, rub back and forth in
the direction of travel, otherwise the carpet can
become tangled.
Sensors/lenses of the camera
Clean sensors or lenses of the camera using a
cloth moistened with a small amount of a glass
detergent.
