Your
own
safety
Intended
use Comply with the following when using the vejhicle:
'yOwner's Handbook.'yInformation on the vehicle. Do not remove
stickers.'yTechnical data of the vehicle.'yThe applicable laws and safety standards of the country in which the vehicle is used.'yVehicle papers and legal documents.
Warranty
Your vehicle is technically designed for the opj erating conditions and permit requirements
prevalent in the country to which it was first
delivered - approval. If your vehicle is to be opj
erated in another country, it may have to be adapted to any prevailing different operating
conditions and permit requirements. If your vejhicle does not comply with the homologation
requirements in a certain country you cannot lodge warranty claims for your vehicle there. A
Service Partner is able to provide further inforj mation.
Maintenance
and
repair Advanced technology behind this vehicle, for
example the use of modern materials and high- performance electronics, necessitates adapted
methods of maintenance and repair.
Consequently, the manufacturer of your vehijcle recommends having corresponding workcarried out by a BMW Service Partner. If you
select a different specialist workshop, BMW
recommends that you select a workshop that
can carry out the corresponding work such as maintenance and repair according to BMW
specifications and works with appropriately
trained personnel, referred to in this Owner's Handbook as another qualified Service Partner
or a specialist workshop.
If such work, e.g. maintenance and repair, is
performed inexpertly, it could result in consej
quential damage and thus constitute a safety
risk.
Parts
and
accessories
BMW recommends using parts and accessory products that are specifically approved for this
purpose by BMW.
You are recommended to consult a BMW
Service partner for advice on genuine BMW parts and accessories, other BMW approved
products and expert advice on all related matj
ters.
The safety and compatibility of these products in conjunction with BMW vehicles have been
checked by BMW.
BMW accepts product responsibility for genuj ine BMW parts and accessories BMW cannot
accept liability for parts or accessory products of any kind which it has not approved.Seite 8Notes8

BMW is unable to assess each individual prodj
uct of outside origin as to its suitability for use
on BMW vehicles without safety risk. Nor can suitability be assured if an official permit has
been issued for it in a specific country. Tests
performed for such permits cannot always cover all operating conditions for BMW vehij
cles, and some of them therefore are insuffij
cient.
Data
memory Many of the electronic components of your vej
hicle contain data memories, which save techj nical information on vehicle condition, eventsand errors temporarily or permanently. This
technical information documents the condition of a component, a module, a system or its enj
vironment:'yOperating states of system components,
for example, fill levels.'yStatus messages of the vehicle and indij
vidual components, for example, wheel roj
tation speed, wheel speed, movement dej lay, transverse acceleration.'yMalfunctions and faults of important sysj
tem components, for example, lights and brakes.'yResponses of the vehicle to special drivingsituations, for example, triggering of an airj
bag, using the stability control systems.'yAmbient conditions, for example, temperaj
ture.
This data is only of a technical nature and is for
detecting and rectifying faults and optimisation
of vehicle functions. Movement profiles over
driven routes cannot be created from this data. When servicing, for example, during repairs,
service processes, warranty cases or quality
assurance, this technical information can be
read by employees of a Service Partner of the manufacturer or another qualified Service Partjner or a specialist workshop, including the
manufacturer, from the event and fault data
memories with special diagnostic tools. There,
you will receive further information as needed.
After rectifying the fault, the information in the
fault memory is deleted or continuously overj
written.
When using the vehicle, situations are conceivj
able in which this technical data can be perj
sonal in connection with other information, for
example, accident report, damage to the vehij
cle, witness statements, etc. m possibly by enj listing the help of an expert.
Additional functions, contractually agreed with
the customer, for example vehicle location in
an emergency, allow certain pieces of vehicle
data to be transferred from the vehicle.
Vehicle
identification
number
The vehicle identification number is in the enj
gine compartment, on the right-hand side of the vehicle..
