Changing a tire
Safety precautions to observe in the
event of a flat and during all tire
changes:
Park the vehicle as far as possible from
passing traffic. Park on a firm, flat surface.
Switch on the hazard warning flashers.
Engage the parking brake and move the
transmission's selector lever to P.
Have all vehicle occupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain outside
the immediate area in a safe place, such as

Replacing components
198 behind a guardrail.
If a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is required, set it up on the
roadside at an appropriate distance from
the rear of the vehicle. Comply with all
safety guidelines and regulations.
Change the wheel only on a level, firm sur-
face which is not slippery. The vehicle or
the jack could slip to the side if you attempt
to raise the vehicle on a soft or slippery sur-
face such as snow, ice, tiles, etc.
Position the jack on a firm support surface.
Do not use a wooden block or similar
object as a support base for the jack, as
this would prevent it from extending to its
full support height and reduce its load-
carrying capacity.
To avoid serious or fatal injury: never lie
under the vehicle, and never start the
engine while it is supported by the jack.<
What you will need
To avoid rattling noises, note the positions
of the tools before removing them, then
return them to their initial positions after
completing work.
>Lug wrench
Located beside the spare tire >Wheel chock
The chock is located next to the spare
tire, or behind the trim panel on the left
side of the luggage compartment on
vehicles equipped with a trailer cou-
pling.
Remove the floor mat and the cover
above the spare tire.
Unscrew the wingnut and remove the
wheel chock
>Vehicle jack
The jack is located behind the side trim
panel on the right side of the luggage
compartment.
Grasp the handle in the upper panel
and fold it down.
Undo the wingnut and remove the jack.
After use, screw the jack all the way
back down and snap the handle back
into place.

Giving and receiving assistance
202
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 war-
ning 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 sup-
port vehicle has 12 Volts and approxi-
mately the same capacity (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 bet-
ween the bodywork on the two
vehicles Ð danger of short circuits.<
Connect 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, see arrow 1 in the illustra-
tion. The symbol + is embossed on the
cover.
1.Remove the cover of the BMW auxiliary
terminal for jump starting
2.Use the jumper cable (+) to set up a
connection between the positive ter-
minal of the discharged battery and the

Giving and receiving assistance
204 this could lead to damage that might ulti-
mately result in an accident.<
To avoid jerking and the associated
stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use either a tow bar or a
nylon rope.
Keep the vehicles in line, taking care
to avoid towing at an offset angle, and
make certain that the tow rope connecting
the two vehicles is tight before starting
off.<
Tow bars
The tow fittings used should be on the
same side on both vehicles.
Should it prove impossible to avoid moun-
ting the tow bar at an offset angle, please
observe the following:
>Clearance and maneuvering capability
will be strictly limited in corners
>When mounted at an angle, the tow bar
will exert lateral forces, tending to push
the vehicle sideways.
Never use a vehicle to tow another
vehicle that is heavier than itself, as
this could lead to a loss of control.<
Towing
Do not tow the vehicle by the rear
axle; because the steering detent is
not operational, the wheels could turn to an
extreme angle during towing.<
1.Turn on the ignition to allow operation
of the brake lamps, turn signal indica-
tors, horn, parking brake and winds-
hield wipers
2.Turn on the hazard warning flashers
where allowed by law
3.Release the transmission lockout man-
ually, refer to page 70
4.Towing speed:
maximum of 45 mph (70 km/h)
5.Towing distance:
maximum of 90 miles (150 km).
If the electrical system in the towed vehicle
has failed, use an alternate means to iden-
tify the vehicle as being towed such as a sign or warning triangle placed in the rear
window.
The steering and brakes are without
power assistance when the engine is
off. This means that higher levels of effort
will be required to operate the steering and
brakes.<
Tow-starting
It is not possible to start the engine by tow-
starting the vehicle.
Jump-starting, refer to page 203.
Have the source of the starting difficulties
diagnosed and repaired at your BMW
center.
Towing with a commercial tow truck
>Do not tow with sling-type equipment
>Use a wheel lift or flatbed carrier
>Please comply with applicable towing
laws.
Never allow passengers to ride in a
towed vehicle for any reason.<
