United States: the washer
fluid mixture ratio is
regulated by the U.S. EPA and many individual
states; do not exceed the allowable washer fluid
dilution ratio limits that apply. Follow the usage
instructions on the washer fluid container. Use
BMW's Windshield Washer Concentrate or the
equivalent.
Washer fluid filler neck
Only add washer fluid after allowing the
engine to cool and close the cover com-
pletely in order to prevent the washer fluid from
contacting hot engine parts. Otherwise, fluid
spills or leaks constitute a fire hazard and a risk
to personal safety. <
All washer nozzles are supplied with washer
fluid by the same reservoir.
The recommended minimum filling quantity is
0.2 US gal/1 liter.
Fill with a mixture of window cleaner concen-
trate, tap water and, if required, with a washer
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
Do not fill with und iluted window cleaner
concentrate or with pure water since these can
result in damage to the wiper system.
Do not mix window cleaner concentrates from
different manufacturers si nce this may clog the
washer nozzles.
Cruise control
The concept
You can use the cruise control feature begin-
ning at approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. The car then
stores and maintains the speed that you specify
using the lever on the steering column.
Do not use cruise control when driving at
constant speed is prevented by adverse
conditions, e.g. winding roads, dense traffic or
poor road conditions due to, e.g. snow, rain, ice
or loose surfaces. Otherwise, you could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident as a
result.<

2 Storing and maintaining speed or

3 Deactivating cr uise control
4 Resuming a previously stored speed
Maintaining current speed
Briefly press the lever, arrow 1, or pull it briefly,
arrow 2 .
The car's current speed is stored and main-
tained. It is briefly disp layed in the instrument
cluster.
If the engine braking power is insufficient on a
downhill slope, the set speed may be exceeded.
On uphill grades vehicle speed may drop if the
engine output is insufficient.

Increasing speed
Briefly press the lever, arrow 1, until the desired
speed is reached.
Each time the lever is pr essed briefly, the speed
is increased by approx. 1 mph/1 km/h.
Accelerating using the lever
Press the lever, arrow 1, until the desired speed
is reached.
The vehicle accelerates without pressure on
the accelerator pedal. The system stores and
maintains the speed.
Decreasing speed
Repeatedly pull the lever, arrow 2, until the
desired speed is reached.
The functions here are the same as for increas-
ing the speed or accelera ting, except that the
speed will be decreased.
Deactivating cruise control
Push the lever briefly upwards or downwards,
arrow 3.
In addition, the system is automatically
deactivated:
> When the brakes are applied.
> When the clutch of the manual transmission
is engaged or the transmission is shifted
into neutral.
> When the automatic transmission selector
lever is moved into th e neutral position N.
> When the selector lever of the sport auto-
matic transmission with double clutch is
moved into the neutral position N.
> When the vehicle travels faster or slower
than the set speed for an extended period,
e.g. when the accelerator is depressed.
> When DSC is intervening.
Resuming a previously stored speed
Press the button, arrow 4.
The last stored speed is resumed and
maintained.
The stored speed is briefly displayed in the
instrument cluster.
The stored speed is cleared when the ignition is
switched off.
Display in the instrument cluster
When the speed at which the vehicle is traveling
is stored or when a stored speed is called up,
the speed is briefly disp layed in the instrument
cluster.
