Should the remote control unit fail to
operate owing to interference of this kind,
you can respond by using the key to unlock
your vehicle at one of the doors. For US owners only The transmitter and receiver units comply
with Section 15 of the FCC/Federal
Communication Commission regulations.
Operation is governed by the following:

Starting the engine
Do not allow the engine to run in
enclosed spaces. The exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and
colorless, but highly toxic gas. Breathing
the exhaust gases poses an extreme health
risk, and can lead to unconsciousness and
death.
Never leave the vehicle parked with the
engine running, as it would then pose a
potential safety hazard.<
1.Insert the remote control unit all the way
into the ignition lock
2.Depress the brake pedal
3.Maintain pressure on the brake pedal
and briefly press the start / stop button.
You can release the brake pedal as soon as
the engine starts.
Your BMW is equipped with the
convenience starting feature. After
depressing the brake pedal, all you need to
do is briefly press the start / stop button.
The system responds by automatically
engaging the starter and allowing it to run
until the engine starts, after which it then
disengages automatically.
The automatic starting mode will not
operate or will be canceled if the battery
voltage is low. It is then possible to start the
engine using electrical power from an
outside source, refer to page 187.
The engine starts immediately in response
to pressure on the button at speeds of
roughly 3 mph (5 km/h) and above. It is not
necessary to depress the brake pedal.<
Do not allow the engine to warm up by
leaving it running while the vehicle remains stationary. Instead, begin to drive immedi-
ately at a moderate engine speed.
Under the following conditions you should
press the accelerator pedal halfway down
when starting:
>If the engine fails to start on the first
attempt, for instance, if it is very hot or cold
>During cold starts at high altitudes, of
roughly 3,300 ft (1000 m) and above, and in
extreme cold, at temperatures of approxi-
mately +5 7 (Ð15 6) and below.
Refrain from starting the vehicle
repeatedly at brief intervals, and
avoid an excessive number of starting
attempts if the vehicle fails to start;
repeated activation of the starter over an
extended period would allow unburned or
only partially combusted fuel to enter the
catalytic converter, where it can cause
overheating and damage to the unit.<
Switching off engineWith the vehicle stationary, briefly press the
start / stop button. This also activates the
radio mode.
Should exceptional circumstances
render it necessary for you to switch
off the engine while the vehicle is moving,
maintain pressure on the start / stop button
for approx. 1 second.
If you maintain pressure on the start / stop
button for longer than two seconds while
switching off the ignition, the remote
control unit will be ejected.<
Always remove the remote control
unit from the ignition lock before
leaving the vehicle.< Parking brake The concept Your BMW is equipped with an electro-
mechanical parking brake.
The parking brake is primarily intended to
prevent the vehicle from rolling while
parked.

>Cruising range and remaining distance
to destination83.
The display sequence:
>Odometer77 >Energy Control/ Current fuel

Maintain pressure on the button 1 to
cancel the display from the computer.
Press the button again to return to the last
display.
It will not be possible to cancel the display
if the fuel level has fallen into the reserve
range or if a Check Control status report is
currently on the screen.
Press the button again to view the last
display.<
Fuel level display The fuel gauge mode appears automati-
cally once the fuel level falls into the
reserve range. The word "Reserve"
appears at the same time, indicating that
approx. 2.6 gallons (10 litres) of fuel remain
in the fuel tank.
It will not be possible to cancel the
onboard computer display once the
fuel level drops into the reserve range.
However, you can still request a display of
the cruising range. Computer, refer to
page 81.<
Tank capacity: approx. 19.4 gallons
(88 litres).
If the tilt of the vehicle varies (when you are
driving in mountainous areas, for example),
the needle may fluctuate slightly.
Always remember to refuel early:
attempts to continue driving to the
last drop can result in damage to the
engine and/or catalytic converter.< Cruising range Displays the estimated cruising range
available with the remaining fuel. The
system calculates the cruising range based
on operating conditions and the amount of
fuel remaining in the tank. The basis for the
calculations is the average fuel consump-
tion over the preceding 20 miles (30 km).

Wheel and tire
combinationsThe right choice
Use only wheel and tire combinations
that BMW has approved for your
particular vehicle. Variations in factors such
as manufacturing tolerances mean that
even wheels and tires with identical official
size ratings could actually have different
dimensions than the approved units. These
differences could lead to body contact, and
with it the risk of severe accidents . If non-
approved wheels and tires are used, BMW
cannot evaluate their suitability, and there-
fore cannot be held liable for driving
safety.<
BMW tests certain tire brands for each tire
size, classifies them as road-safe and
approves them. Consult your BMW center
for more information. Observe any country-
specific regulations, e.g. on making a
corresponding entry in the vehicle
documents.
The correct combination of wheels
and tires is a vital factor in ensuring
reliable operation of various vehicle
systems such as ABS and DSC.
It is therefore important to ensure that tires
from a single manufacturer with a single
tread configuration are always mounted on
all vehicle wheels. After a flat tire, always
remember to have the specified wheel and
tire combination remounted on the vehicle
as soon as possible.<
Storage Always store wheels and tires in a cool, dry
place with as little exposure to light as
possible. Always protect tires against all
contact with oil, grease and fuels.
Special characteristics of
winter tires Choosing the right tire BMW recommends winter tires Ð M+S
radial tires for use in cold winter driving
conditions. Although all-season M+S tires
provide better winter traction than standard
summer tires with H, V, W and ZR speed
ratings, they generally fail to provide the
same levels of cold-weather performance
as winter tires.
When mounting, always install winter tires
of a single tread configuration and from a
single manufacturer on all four wheels to
ensure safe tracking and secure steering
response. Observe speed ratings
Never exceed the maximum speed for
which the tires are rated.
Unprofessional attempts by laymen to
service tires can lead to damage and acci-
dents.
Have this work performed by skilled
professionals only. The technicians at your
BMW center will be glad to assist you with
the required professional knowledge and
specialized equipment.<
Tire condition, tire pressure Because winter tires display a noticeable
loss in their ability to cope with cold-
weather driving conditions once the tread
wears to below 0.16 in (4 mm), to ensure
continued safety you should always have
such tires replaced.
Always maintain the specified inflation
pressures in all tires, and remember to
have the wheel and tire assemblies
balanced every time either a wheel or a tire
is replaced. Snow chains*

BMW narrow-link snow chains
are
approved exclusively for use in pairs on
the rear wheels, and should only be
