influencing the cardiac pacemaker.
With the slightest sign of a cardiac pace-
maker malfunction, switch the BMW porta-
ble phone off immediately.<
Batteries
To avoid possible short circuits, after 
removing a battery you should never 
allow it to come into contact with metallic 
surfaces of any kind. This is why you should 
handle charged batteries with care, in par-
ticular if you place batteries, e.g. in jacket 
or shirt pockets that contain metal objects.
If you are in an environment where there is 
a risk of explosion, do not remove the bat-
tery from the device, as otherwise sparks 
from your battery could cause explosions 
or fire.<
Disposing of used batteries
Return used batteries to a recycling 
collection point or to your BMW cen-
ter.<

2.Switch the engine off after it has 
reached normal operating temperature 3.After approx. 5 minutes, pull the dip-
stick out and wipe it off with a clean lint-
free cloth, paper towel, or similar mate-
rial 
4.Carefully push the dipstick all the way 
into the guide tube and pull it out again

Antifreeze and anticorrosion agents are 
flammable. Therefore, do not pour over hot 
engine parts, as otherwise they could catch 
fire and cause burns.
Always observe the instructions for use 
provided on the containers.< 
Always observe all applicable rules 
and regulations for environmental 
protection when disposing of used anti-
freeze and anticorrosion agents.< 
Checking coolant level 
Correct coolant level with the engine cold Ð 
approx. +687/206:
1.Turn the cap of the expansion tank 
counterclockwise to allow any accumu-
lated pressure to escape, then continue 
turning to open 
2.The coolant level is correct when the 
coolant extends to between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the filler neck, refer 
to the diagram adjacent to the filler 
neck 
3.If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant 
up to the specified level Ð do not overfill. 
Brake fluid 
The symbol lights up and a mes-
sage appears in the Check Control: 
The brake fluid in the reservoir has 
fallen to below the minimum level. 
The brake fluid reservoir is located under 
the microfilter housing trim panel on the 
driver's side of the vehicle. To have brake 
fluid added to the system, or to have the source of any brake fluid loss traced and 
rectified, please contact your BMW center, 
which can also supply the factory-
approved Ð DOT 4 Ð brake fluids. 
Brake fluid is hygroscopic: it absorbs 
moisture from the atmosphere over 
the course of time.
To ensure that the brake system continues 
to provide safe and reliable performance, 
remember to have the brake fluid changed 
every two years at the latest, refer to 
page 82 and to the Service and Warranty 
Information Booklet for US models or the 
Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for 
Canadian models. 
Brake fluid is toxic and also damages vehi-
cle paintwork. Always store these agents in 
tightly-closed original containers kept well 
away from the reach of children.
Do not spill the fluid and do not refill the 
brake fluid reservoir to beyond the MAX 
mark. Should it come into contact with hot 
engine components, the brake fluid could 
ignite and cause personal injury in the form 
of burns.< 
Always observe all applicable envi-
ronmental rules and regulations when 
disposing of used brake fluid.< 
Warning lamp for Canadian models. 
Brake hydraulic systems 
A low brake-fluid level combined with 
longer-than-usual pedal travel could be 
a sign that one of the brake system's 
hydraulic circuits has failed. 
Proceed to the nearest BMW center. 
Remember that pedal travel may be 
increased, and there may also be a sub-
stantial increase in the amount of pedal 
pressure required to brake the vehicle. 
Please adapt your driving style accord-
ingly.<

Rules and regulations 
California Proposition 65 
Warning 
California laws require us to issue the fol-
lowing warning:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of 
automobile components and parts, 
including components found in the interior 
furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit 
chemicals known to the State of California 
to cause cancer and birth defects and 
reproductive harm. In addition, certain flu-
ids contained in vehicles and certain prod-
ucts of component wear contain or emit 
chemicals known to the State of California 
to cause cancer and birth defects or other 
reproductive harm. 
Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds. 
Wash your hands after handling. 
Used engine oil contains chemicals that 
have caused cancer in laboratory animals. 
Always protect your skin by washing thor-
oughly with soap and water.< 
OBD connector 
The Onboard Diagnostic OBD interface 
socket is located on the left of the driver's 
side under the instrument panel and under 
a cover.
The cover has the letters OBD on it.The purpose of the OBD system is to 
ensure proper operation of the emission 
control system for the vehicle's lifetime. 
The system monitors emission-related 
components and systems for deterioration 
and malfunction. 
An indicator lamp informs you of the 
need for service, not of the need to 
stop the vehicle. However, the sys-
tems should be checked by your BMW 
center at the earliest possible opportunity.
Indicator lamp for Canadian mod-
els.
Under certain conditions, the indicator 
lamp will blink or flash. This indicates a 
rather severe level of engine misfire. When 
this occurs, you should reduce speed and 
consult the nearest BMW center as soon as 
possible. Severe engine misfire over only a 
short period of time can seriously damage 
emissions control components, especially 
the catalytic converter. 
When the fuel filler cap is not properly 
tightened, the OBD system can 
detect the vapor leak and the indicator will 
light up. If the filler cap is subsequently 
tightened, the indicator lamp should go out 
within a few days.<

Giving and receiving assistance 
Warning triangle* 
The warning triangle is conveniently stored 
in the onboard tool kit mounted on the 
inside of the luggage compartment lid. 
Comply with legal requirements 
requiring you to carry a hazard warn-
ing triangle in the vehicle.< 
First-aid kit* 
You will also find the first-aid kit in the 
onboard tool kit's container. 
Some of the articles contained in the 
first-aid kit have a limited service life. 
For this reason, check the expiration dates 
of each of the items regularly, and replace 
any whose expiration dates have passed. 
You can find replacements in any phar-
macy. 
Always comply with laws requiring a first-
aid kit to be carried in the vehicle.< 
Jump-starting 
When your battery is discharged you can 
use two jumper cables to start your vehicle 
with power from the battery in a second 
vehicle. You can also use the same method 
to help start another vehicle. Use only 
jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp 
handles.To avoid the risk of potentially fatal 
injury, always avoid all contact with 
electrical components while the engine is 
running. Carefully adhere to the following 
sequence, both to prevent damage to one 
or both vehicles, and to guard against pos-
sible personal injury.< 
Preparing
1.Check whether the battery of the other 
vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and 
approximately the same capacitance 
in  Ah. This information can be found on 
the battery 
2.Switch off the engine of the support 
vehicle
3.Switch off any electrical systems and 
components in both vehicles. 
Ensure that no contact exists 
between the bodywork on the two 
vehicles, otherwise there is a danger of 
short circuits.< 
Connecting the jumper cables
To avoid personal injury from sparks, 
always observe this sequence when 
connecting jumper cables.< 
Your BMW is equipped with an auxiliary 
terminal specifically designed for jump-
starting. It is located within the engine 
compartment, refer to arrow 1 in the illus-
tration. The symbol + is embossed on the 
cover.
