Things to remember when driving
Driving tips
Check tire inflation pressure regularly
Check the tire inflation pr
essure at least twice a
month and before embarking on a long journey,
and correct it if necessary.
Low tire inflation pressure causes higher rolling
resistance and thus increases fuel consumption
and tire wear.
Set off immediately
Do not let the engine wa rm up while the car is
still standing, but set off immediately at moder-
ate engine speed. This is the fastest way for the
cold engine to reach its operating temperature.
Drive defensively
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking
maneuvers. To do so, keep an adequate dis-
tance between you and th e vehicle in front of
you. A defensive and smooth driving style
keeps fuel consumption down.
Avoid high engine speeds
Use first gear only for dr iving off. In second and
higher gears, accelerate without hesitation or
pauses. When accelerati ng, shift up before
reaching high engine speeds.
When you reach the desi red speed, shift into
the highest applicable ge ar and drive with the
engine speed as low as possible and at a con-
stant speed.
As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers
fuel consumption and reduces wear.
Coasting
When approaching a red lig ht, take your foot off
the accelerator and coast to a stop in the high-
est applicable gear.
On a downhill slope, take your foot off the accel-
erator and coast in a suitable gear.
The fuel supply is interrupted when coasting.
Switch off the engine during lengthy
stops
Switch off the engine when stopping for lengthy
periods, e.g. at traffic lights, railroad crossings
or in traffic congestions.
Switch off functions you do not need at
the moment
Functions such as the air conditioner, seat
heating or rear window defroster draw large
amounts of power and consume additional fuel.
Especially in city traffic and in stop-and-go driv-
ing they have a considerable impact. Therefore,
switch these functions off when they are not
really needed.
Have the vehicle serviced
Have the vehicle serviced regularly to achieve
good economy and a long vehicle life. BMW
recommends having the vehicle serviced at
your BMW center. Also note the BMW Mainte-
nance System, refer to page 237.
General driving notes
Close the trunk lid
Only drive with the trunk closed. Failure to
do so may endanger passengers or other
road users or may damage the vehicle in the
event of an accident or a braking and evasive
maneuver. In addition, exhaust gas may flow
into the passenger compartment. <
If special circumstance s make it absolutely
necessary to drive wi th the trunk open:
1. Close all windows and the glass roof.
2. Greatly increase the air volume of the
automatic climate cont rol system, refer to
page 108.
3. Drive cautiously.

Adjusting volume
Turn knob during announcement.
>
The volume remains the same, even if the
volume of other audio sources is changed.
> The volume is stored for the remote control
currently in use.
Notes
Notes on Emergency Requests
Do not use the voice operation system to ini-
tiate an emergency call. In stressful situations,
the voice and vocal pitch can change. This can
unnecessarily delay the establishment of a tele-
phone connection.
Instead, use the SOS button, refer to page 250,
in the vicinity of the interior rearview mirror.
Ambient conditions
> Say the commands, nu mbers and letters
smoothly and with normal volume, empha-
sis and speed.
> Always say the commands in the language
of the system. The language of the voice
operation of the mobile phone is preset and
cannot be changed via the Control Display.
> Keep the doors, windows, glass roof, and
convertible top closed to prevent interfer-
ence from outside noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.
Snap-in adapter
General information
Detailed information on snap-in adapters that
compatibly support mobile phone functions can
be found at your BMW center.
Notes
At high temperatures, the charging function of
the mobile phone may be limited and some
functions may no longer be carried out.
When using the mobile phone via the vehicle,
follow the operating instru ctions of the mobile
phone.
Installation location
In the center armrest.
Inserting snap-in adapter
1. Press the button and remove the cover.
2. Insert the snap-in adapter at the front,
arrow 1, and press downward, arrow 2, until
it clicks into place.

Washing the vehicle
Notes
When using steam cleaners or high-pres-
sure cleaning jets, make sure to maintain
a sufficient distance and stay below a maximum
temperature of 140 7/60 6.
Too close a distance, too high a pressure, or too
high a temperature may cause damage or
preliminary damage that can then lead to long-
term damage.
Follow the operating inst ructions for the steam
jet or high-pressure washer. <
When using high-pressure washers, do
not spray the sensors, e.g. of the Park
Distance Control, for an extended period and
maintain a distance of at least 1 ft/30 cm from
them. <
Regularly remove foreign objects, e.g. leaves, in
the vicinity of the windsh ield when the hood is
open.
Wash the vehicle more frequently, particularly
in winter.
Heavy soiling and road salt can lead to vehicle
damage.
Automatic car washes
Notes
In car washes with high pressures and
nozzle positions, wate r may drip into the
vehicle around the windows. <
Please note the following:
> Give preference to car washes that use
cloth or soft brushes in order to avoid paint
damage.
> Wheels and tires must not be damaged by
transport devices.
> Fold in exterior mirror, refer to page 55; oth-
erwise, they can be damaged due to the
width of the vehicle.
> Deactivate the rain sensor, refer to page 72,
to prevent undesired wiper operation.
> In the convertible, do not treat the top with
wax. Ensure that a program is available that
does not apply wax or is designed specifi-
cally for Convertibles.
> Move rear wiper into its wiper park position,
deactivate it, and protect it from damage.
Ask the car wash operator about suitable
protective measures.
> Remove additional add-on parts, e.g. spoil-
ers or phone antennas, if they could be
damaged.
> Unscrew the rod antenna.
> Leave the remote cont rol in the ignition
lock.
Avoid car washes with guide rail heights
over 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, there is the
danger of damaging chassis parts. <

Driving into an automatic car wash
Perform the following steps to ensure that the
vehicle can roll:
Manual transmission:
1.Shift into neutral.
2. Release parking brake, refer to page 63.
3. Switch off the engine.
4. Leave the remote control in the ignition
lock.
Automatic transmission:
1. Insert the remote cont rol into the ignition
lock, even with Comfort Access.
2. Shift selector lever into position N.
3. Release parking brake, refer to page 63.
4. Switch off the engine.
5. Leave the remote control in the ignition
lock.
Sport automatic transmission with double
clutch:
1. Insert the remote cont rol into the ignition
lock, even with Comfort Access.
2. Shift selector lever into position N.
3. Release parking brake, refer to page 63.
4. Switch off the engine.
5. Leave the remote control in the ignition
lock.
The transmission is switched into position P:
> Automatically after approx. 30 minutes
> If you remove the infrared remote control
from the ignition lock
Headlamps
Do not rub them dry and do not use abrasive or
corrosive cleaning agents.
Loosen dirt, e.g. insects, with shampoo and
rinse away with water.
Thaw ice with a de-icer and do not use an ice
scraper.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the
brakes briefly to dry them; otherwise,
water can reduce braking efficiency over the
short term and the brake discs can corrode. <
R e m o v e r e s i d u e s o n t h e windows completely in
order to prevent impaired vision due to smear
formation and to reduce wiper noise and wiper
blade wear.
Vehicle care
Care products
BMW recommends using BMW cleaning and
care products since they have been tested and
approved for this purpose.
Follow the instructions on the packaging.
When cleaning inside the vehicle, always
open the doors and windows. Only use prod-
ucts designed for cleaning vehicles. Cleaning
agents can contain substa nces that are danger-
ous or hazardous to your health. <
Vehicle paintwork
Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention. Environmental influences in
regions with elevated levels of air pollution or
natural contaminants such as tree sap or pollen
can impact vehicle paintwork. The frequency
and scope of car care should be adapted
accordingly.
Immediately remove particularly corrosive sub-
stances such as spilled fuel, oil, grease, or bird
droppings to prevent damage to the paintwork.
Leather care
Frequently remove dust from the leather using
a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, dust and road grit in the pores and
folds of the leather will otherwise have an abra-
sive effect, resulting in increased wear and
causing the leather surf ace to become brittle
prematurely.
