Manual operation
In the case of an electrical malfunction, you can
unlock the luggage compartment lid with the
key, refer to page35, and slowly open and close
it without sudden movements.
Emergency release
Pull the lever inside the luggage compartment.
This unlocks the luggage compartment lid.
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds to:
>opening of a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment lid
>movement in the vehicle interior: interior
motion sensor, refer to page38
>changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>interruptions in battery voltage
The alarm system briefly indicates unautho-
rized tampering:
>with an acoustic alarm
>by switching on
the hazard warning flashers
>by flashing the high beams
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
When the alarm system is armed, you can also
open the luggage compartment lid with the button on the remote control, refer to
page33. When the luggage compartment lid is
closed, it is relocked and monitored again.
Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the
alarm on some national-market versions.
Pressing the 'Panic mode' button for a longer
period also triggers the alarm, refer to
page33.<
Switching off alarm
>Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,
refer to page32.
>Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.
Indicator lamp displays
>The indicator lamp below the interior rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.
>The indicator lamp flashes after the vehicle
is locked: the doors or luggage compart-
ment lid are not properly closed. Even if you
do not close the door involved, the system
begins to monitor the remaining areas, and
the indicator lamp flashes continuously
after 10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated.
>After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp goes out: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been detected in
the period since the system was armed.
>After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp flashes until the remote control is
inserted into the ignition lock, but for no
more than roughly 5 minutes: an attempted
entry has been detected in the period since
the system was armed.

not occupied while the engine is running
>the hood is opened while the engine is run-
ning
>the luggage compartment is opened while

Under the hood
Never attempt to perform any service or
repair operations on your vehicle without
the required, professional technical training.
If you are unfamiliar with the regulations to be
observed, only have work on your vehicle car-
ried out by a BMW center or a repair shop that
works in accordance with BMW guidelines and
uses appropriately trained personnel. If this
work is not carried out properly, there is a dan-
ger of subsequent damage and related safety
hazards.<

instrument panel.
Opening
Pull the release handle and open the hood.
Closing
Close the hood with force. It must be clearly
heard to engage.
Take the same precautions that apply to
all closing operations by ensuring that the
hood's travel range is clear and unobstructed
before allowing the hood to fall into position.
If you see any signs that the hood is not com-
pletely closed while you are driving your vehicle,
you should stop at once and close it securely.<

i.e. following an uninterrupted drive of at least
6 miles/10 km. You can display the oil level
while driving or when stopped on a level surface
with the engine running.
The current oil level can be viewed on the Con-
trol Display.

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.
