Special starting conditions
In the following situations, press the gas pedal
halfway down when starting:
>The engine fails to start on the first attempt,
for instance if it is very hot or cold.
>The engine is being started at extremely low
temperatures below + 57/– 156, or at
high altitudes above 3,281 ft/1,000 m.
Avoid frequent starts in rapid succession
or repeated starting attempts in which the
engine does not start. Otherwise, the fuel is
either left unspent or is insufficiently burned
and there is a risk of overheating and damaging
the catalytic converter.<
Switching off engine
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
remote control with you.<
With the vehicle stationary, briefly press the
Start/Stop button. Radio ready state is switched
on.
The transmission automatically shifts to
position P: interlock.
Before driving into a car wash
The transmission remains in position N and the
vehicle can roll when you perform the following
sequence:
1.With Comfort Access: insert remote control
into ignition lock.
2.With the engine running, shift transmission
into position N.
3.Switch engine off.
4.Leave the remote control in the ignition
lock.
The transmission will shift into position P:
>automatically after approx. 30 minutes
>if you remove the remote control from the
ignition lock
Observe the messages on the Info Display.
Removing remote control from ignition
lock
Press in the remote control briefly; it pops part-
way out. This procedure will also switch off the
ignition if it is on.
Comfort function
To switch off the engine when the vehicle is sta-
tionary, press the Start/Stop button for longer
than approx. 2 seconds. The remote control
pops partway out.
Parking brake
The concept
Your BMW is equipped with an electromechan-
ical parking brake.
The parking brake is primarily intended to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling while parked.
You can use the parking brake in two ways:
>Manually, by briefly pressing the button
>Automatically, by activating the Automatic
Hold mode, refer to page59.
An electrohydraulic mechanism then engages
the parking brake to prevent the rear wheels
from turning whenever you switch off the
engine.
When the engine is running, parking brake
engagement is controlled by the brake sys-
tem's hydraulic circuits, which act on the disc
brakes in the front and rear wheels.
Brake pedal feel
The hydraulic brake system can produce a
slightly different braking feel. Engagement may
also be accompanied by activation noise – this
is normal.

Socket for OBD Onboard
Diagnostics
Components which are decisive for the
exhaust-gas composition can be checked via
the OBD socket with a device.
This socket is located to the left on the driver's
side, on the underside of the instrument panel
under a cover.
Emissions values
The warning lamp lights up. The emis-
sions values are deteriorating. Have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Display of the previously described
malfunction on Canadian models.
Under certain circumstances, the warning lamp
will flash. This is a sign of excessive misfiring of
the engine. In this case you should reduce
speed and drive to the nearest BMW center as
soon as possible. Serious engine misfiring,
even for only a short period of time, can seri-
ously damage emission control components,
especially the catalytic converter.
If the fuel filler cap is not properly tight-
ened, the OBD system can detect the
vapor leak and the indicator lamp will light up. If
the cap is then tightened, the display must go
out within a few days.<
Event Data Recorders
Your vehicle may be equipped with one or sev-
eral measuring and diagnosis modules, or with a
device for recording or transmitting certain
vehicle data or information. If you have also
signed a contract of participation for BMW
Assist, certain vehicle data can be transmitted
or recorded to enable corresponding services.
Care
You can find useful information on caring for
your BMW in the Caring for your vehicle bro-
chure.
