respondingly trained personnel.
Light-emitting diodes LEDs
Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
c e n t l e n s e s s e r v e a s t h e l i g h t s o u r c e f o r m a n y o f
the controls and displays in your vehicle. These
light-emitting diodes, which operate using a
concept similar to that applied in conventional
lasers, are officially designated as Class 1 light-
emitting diodes.
Do not remove the covers or expose the
eyes directly to the unfiltered light source
for several hours at a time, as this could cause
irritation to the retina.<
Changing wheels
Your BMW is equipped with Run-Flat Tires as
standard. This removes the need to change a
wheel immediately in the event of a puncture.
The symbol identifying Run-Flat Tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to
Run-Flat Tires, page178.
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, moreover, no spare wheel is
available. Your BMW center will be glad to
advise you. Refer also to New wheels and tires,
page178.
The tools for changing wheels are avail-
able as optional accessories from your
BMW center.<
Jack mounting points
The jacking points are at the positions shown in
the illustration.
Vehicle battery
Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, the
electrolyte will last for the life of the battery
when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli-
mate. Your BMW center will be glad to advise in
all matters concerning the battery.
Charging battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the
terminals in the engine compartment with the
engine off. Connections, refer to Jump starting
on page194.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of by your
BMW center or hand them in to a recy-
cling center. Maintain the battery in an upright
position for transport and storage. Always
secure the battery against tipping over during
transport.<
Power failure
After a temporary power loss, the functioning of
some equipment may be limited and require
reinitialization. Individual settings may likewise
have been lost and will have to be repro-
grammed:
>Time and date
These values must be updated, refer to
page71.

Replacing components
192 >Radio
In some cases, stations may have to be
memorized again, refer to page140.
>Navigation system
Wait until the system starts, refer to
page130.
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-
stitute of another color or amperage rating, as
this could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately
resulting in a fire in the vehicle.<
In the glove compartment
Open the cover in the glove compartment and
remove it.
Spare fuses and a pair of plastic forceps are set
in holders on the distributor box.
See the rear of the cover for information on fuse
assignment.

Emergency calling*
Conditions for an emergency call:
>Radio readiness is switched on.
>The car phone is logged on to a portable
telephone network.
>The emergency call system is operable.
Initiating an emergency call
1.To open the protective cover of the keypad:
touch the protective cover.
2.Press the button for at least 2 seconds. The
indicator lamp in the button lights up. As
soon as the voice connection to the BMW
Assist response center has been estab-
lished, the indicator lamp flashes.
If conditions allow, remain in the vehicle until
the connection has been established. You will
then be able to provide a detailed description of
the situation.
In vehicles with BMW Assist enabled, if the cur-
rent location of your vehicle can be determined,
it will be transmitted to the BMW Assist
response center.
To enable BMW Assist, refer to page160.
If the indicator lamp is flashing but the emer-
gency call center cannot be heard over the
hands-free system, it is possible that the
hands-free system is malfunctioning. The
emergency call center may still be able to hear
you, however.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is
automatically initiated immediately after a severe accident. The automatic emergency call
is not affected by the button being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable
conditions.<
Roadside Assistance
The BMW Group's Roadside Assistance ser-
vice is there to assist you around the clock in
the event of a breakdown, including on week-
ends and public holidays.
The phone numbers of the Roadside Assis-
tance in your home country can be found in the
Contact brochure.
In vehicles equipped with BMW Assist or
TeleService, you can establish contact with the
BMW Group's Roadside Assistance for break-
down assistance directly via iDrive, refer to
page162.
First-aid kit*
The first-aid pouch is on the right-hand side of
the luggage compartment in a storage area.
Some of the articles contained in the first-
aid kit have a limited service life. There-
fore, check the expiration dates of the contents
regularly and replace any items in good time, if
necessary. You can find replacements in any
pharmacy.

and regulations.<
Never allow passengers to ride in a towed
vehicle for any reason.<
Using a tow fitting

rear of the BMW.
It is stored in the onboard tool kit underneath
the cover on the right-hand side of the luggage
compartment, refer to page187.
In order to avoid damaging the tow fitting and
the vehicle, please follow these instructions:
use only the tow fitting provided with the vehi-

lock cannot be disengaged and the car is not
steerable. Jump starting, refer to page194.
