Launch Control
Launch Control enables an optimum accelera-
tion when starting off on a road surface with
good traction.
Do not use Launch Control too often; oth-
erwise, the powerful stresses on the vehi-
cle will lead to premature component wear.<
Launch Control is ready for use when the
engine is at operating temperature, i.e. after
uninterrupted travel of at least 6.2 miles/10 km.
1.With the engine running, step on the brake
with your left foot.

eration speed is adjusted. A flag symbol

6.When you release the brake pedal, the vehi-
cle accelerates. Keep the accelerator pedal
floored.
7.The upshifting occurs automatically as long
as you keep the accelerator pedal pressed

Changing wheels
Your BMW comes with run-flat tires as standard
equipment. This eliminates the need to change
a wheel immediately in the event of a puncture.
For information on continuing to drive with a
damaged tire, refer to Indication of a flat tire on
page83.
The symbol identifying run-flat tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to
Run-flat tires, page200.When mounting new tires or changing over
from summer to winter tires and vice versa,
mount run-flat tires for your own safety. In the
event of a flat, no spare wheel is available. Your
BMW center will be glad to advise you. Refer
also to New wheels and tires, page200.
The tools for changing wheels are avail-
able as optional accessories from your
BMW center.<

mate. Your BMW center will be glad to advise in

Replacing the battery
Use only vehicle battery types that are
approved by the manufacturer of your
vehicle; otherwise, the vehicle may be damaged
