Adjusting
Sitting safely
The ideal sitting position can make a vital con-
tribution to relaxed driving that is as fatigue-free
as possible. Together with the safety belts and
airbags, the sitting position plays an important
role in the event of an accident. To ensure that
the safety systems operate with optimized effi-
ciency, we strongly urge you to follow the
instructions contained in the section below.
For additional information on transporting chil-
dren safely, refer to page54.
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance
between yourself and the airbags. Always
hold the steering wheel by its rim with hands at
the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions to mini-
mize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms
in the event of airbag deployment. No one and
nothing is to come between the airbags and the
seat occupant.
Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the
front passenger side as a storage area. Make
sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly
and does not rest feet or legs on the dashboard;
otherwise, leg injuries can occur if the front air-
bag is triggered. Make sure that occupants do
not rest their head against the side or head air-
bag; otherwise, injuries can occur if the airbags
are triggered.<
Even if you follow all of the instructions, injuries
resulting from contact with airbags cannot be
entirely ruled out, depending on the circum-
stances. The ignition and inflation noise may
provoke a mild – usually temporary – hearing
loss in extremely sensitive individuals.
For airbag locations and additional information
on airbags, refer to page95.
Head restraint
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of injury to cervical vertebrae in the event of
an accident.Adjust the head restraint so that its center
is approx. at ear level. Otherwise, there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an
accident.<
Adjusting the head restraint, refer to page46.
Safety belt
Fasten safety belts on all occupied seats before
every trip. Although airbags enhance safety by
providing added protection, they are not a sub-
stitute for safety belts.
Your vehicle has five seats that are each
equipped with a safety belt.
Never allow more than one person to
wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride on a passen-
ger's lap. Make sure that the belt lies low around
the hips in the lap area and does not press on
the abdomen. The safety belt must not lie
across the neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed
over solid or breakable objects or be pinched.
Wear the safety belt without twisting, snugly
across the lap and shoulders, as close to the
body as possible. Otherwise, the belt can slip
over the hips in the lap area in a frontal impact
and injure the abdomen. Avoid wearing clothing
that prevents the belt from fitting properly and
pull the shoulder belt periodically to readjust
the tension across your lap in order to avoid a
reduction in the retention effect of the safety
belt.<
For instructions on operating safety belts, refer
to page48.
Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement and the
ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.

Manually unlocking and locking the
transmission lock
In the event of a power supply interruption, e.g.
when the battery is dead or disconnected or
when there is an electrical malfunction, the
transmission lock must be released manually;
otherwise, the rear wheels are locked and the
vehicle cannot be towed.
Step on the brake when manually unlock-
ing the transmission lock; otherwise,
there is a danger of the vehicle rolling.<
The transmission lock should only be released
for towing. Reengage the transmission lock
after parking the vehicle at its destination.
If it also becomes necessary to manually
release the parking brake, follow this sequence:
1.Start by manually releasing the parking
brake, refer to page60.
2.Then proceed to manually releasing the
transmission lock.
Releasing
1.Use the vehicle key to release the cover
panel beneath the instrument panel by turn-
ing the lock counterclockwise, then fold
down the cover.2.Pull out the release lever with the loop1
until it locks into place: the transmission
lock is unlocked.
Reengage the transmission lock after
parking the vehicle at its destination. Oth-
erwise, there is a danger of the vehicle rolling.<
Engaging locks
1.Disengage the release lever by pressing it
together with the red locking lever, refer to
arrow.
2.Guide the release lever all the way back into
its original position – the transmission lock
is engaged once more.
3.Fold up and lock the cover panel again. Now
– and not before – the key may be removed.

Coolant
Do not open the cooling system when the
engine is hot. Escaping coolant can cause
burns.<
Coolant consists of water and supplemental
antifreeze and anticorrosion agents. Not all
commercially available additives are suitable for
your BMW. Ask your BMW center for suitable
additives.
Only use suitable additives; otherwise,
engine damage may result. The additives
present a health hazard; follow the instructions
on the containers.<
Always follow all applicable environmen-
tal laws and regulations when disposing
of used coolant additives.<
Checking coolant level
1.Allow engine to cool.
2.Turn the cap of the expansion tank counter-
clockwise to allow any accumulated pres-
sure to escape, then continue turning to
open.
3.The coolant level is correct when the cool-
ant extends to between the MIN and MAX
marks on the filler neck, refer to the diagram
adjacent to the filler neck.
4.If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant up to
the specified level – do not overfill.
5.Twist closed the cap and tighten firmly.
6.Have the reason for the coolant loss elimi-
nated as soon as possible.

Giving and receiving assistance
Emergency call*
Conditions for an emergency call:
>Full preparation package mobile phone.
This equipment package makes it possible
to initiate an emergency call even if no
mobile phone is paired with the vehicle.
>BMW Assist is activated. BMW Assist acti-
vation, refer to page193.
>Radio ready state or ignition must be
switched on.
>The BMW Assist system is logged on to a
mobile phone network.
>The emergency call system is operable.
Once your service contract for BMW Assist
expires, the BMW Assist system can be deacti-
vated by a BMW center without you having to
visit a workshop. Once the BMW Assist system
has been deactivated, emergency calls are not
possible. The BMW Assist system can be reac-
tivated by a BMW center after a new contract
has been signed.
Initiating an emergency call
1.To open the protective cover:
Briefly press the protective cover.
2.Press the emergency call button for at least
2seconds.
The LED in the button lights up. As soon as the
voice connection to the BMW Assist response
center has been established, the LED flashes.Once the BMW Assist Response Center has
received your emergency call, the BMW Assist
Response Center contacts you and takes fur-
ther steps to help you.
If circumstances permit, remain in the vehicle
until the voice connection has been estab-
lished. You will then be able to provide a
detailed description of the situation.
If the current location of your vehicle can be
determined, it will be transmitted to the
BMW Assist Response Center.
If the LED is flashing but you cannot hear the
BMW Assist Response Center over the hands-
free system, then the hands-free system may
be malfunctioning. You may, however, still be
audible to the BMW Assist Response Center.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is
initiated automatically immediately after a
severe accident. An automatic emergency call
is not affected by the emergency call button
being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable
conditions.<
In order to transmit the vehicle location, a
navigation CD/DVD must be inserted and
the system must be currently receiving a GPS
signal.
If the navigation system is inoperative, the cur-
rent position of the vehicle is not transmitted.<
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 Center in your home country can be
found in the Contact brochure.
