Warranty.
Detailed information about these warranties is
listed in the Service and Warranty Information
Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and
Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models.
Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and
designed to meet the particular operating con‐
ditions and homologation requirements in your
country and continental region in order to deliver
the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is op‐
erated under those conditions. If you wish to op‐
erate your vehicle in another country or region,
you may be required to adapt your vehicle to
meet different prevailing operating conditions
and homologation requirements. You should
also be aware of any applicable warranty limita‐
tions or exclusions for such country or region. In
such case, please contact Customer Relations
for further information.
Maintenance
Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the road
safety, operational reliability and the New Vehi‐
cle Limited Warranty.
Specifications for required maintenance meas‐
ures:
▷BMW Maintenance system▷Service and Warranty Information Booklet
for US models▷Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for
Canadian models
If the vehicle is not maintained according to
these specifications, this could result in serious
damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not cov‐
ered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited War‐
ranty.
Data memory
Many electronic components on your vehicle
are equipped with data memories that tempo‐
rarily or permanently store technical information
about the condition of the vehicle, events and
faults. This technical information generally
documents the state of a component, a module,
a system or the environment:▷Operating states of system components, fill
levels for instance.▷Status messages for the vehicle and from its
individual components, e.g., wheel rotation
speed/ vehicle speed, deceleration, trans‐
verse acceleration.▷Malfunctions and faults in important system
components, e.g., lights and brakes.▷Responses by the vehicle to special situa‐
tions, e.g., deployment of an airbag, engage‐
ment of stability control systems.▷Ambient conditions, such as temperature.
This data is purely technical in nature and is used
to detect and correct faults and to optimize ve‐
hicle functions. Motion profiles over routes trav‐
eled cannot be created from this data. When
service offerings are used, e.g., repair services,
service processes, warranty claims, quality as‐
surance, this technical information can be read
out from the event and fault memories by the
service personnel, including the manufacturer,
using special diagnostic tools. You can obtain
further information there if it is needed. After a
fault is corrected, the information in the fault
memory is deleted or overwritten on a continu‐
ous basis.
When the vehicle is in use, situations are con‐
ceivable in which it might be possible to asso‐
ciate this technical data with individuals if it is
combined with other information, e.g., an acci‐
dent report, damage to the vehicle, eye witness
accounts — possibly with the assistance of an
expert.
Additional functions that are contractually
agreed with the customer, such as vehicle lo‐
cating in an emergency, enable certain vehicle
data to be transmitted from the vehicle.
