The device can be operated as of ignition
on.
If the device can not be operated after
repeated programming, check
whether the original hand-held transmitter
uses an alternating-code system. To do so,
either read the instructions of the original
hand-held transmitter or press and hold
down the programmed memory key 1 of
the integrated universal remote control. If
the indicator lamp 2 on the integrated uni-
versal remote control flashes quickly for a
brief period and then remains lit up for
approx. two seconds, this indicates that
the original hand-held transmitter is
equipped with an alternating code. In the
case of an alternating-code system, pro-
gram the memory keys 1 as described at
the section on alternating-code transmit-
ters.<
Alternating-code transmitters
Consult the operating instructions of the
unit you wish to set when programming the
integrated universal remote control. Find
out about the possibility for synchroniza-
tion.
When programming hand-held transmitters
that employ an alternating code, please
observe the following supplementary
instructions:
Programming will be easier with the
aid of a second person.<
1.Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device
2.Program the integrated universal
remote control as described at the sec-
tion on fixed code hand-held transmit-
ters.
3.Localize the key on the receiver of the
device you want to set up, e.g. on the
upper section of the motor
4.Press the key on the receiver of the
device you want to set up. After step 4,
approx. 30 seconds remain for step 5
5.Press the programmed memory key 1
on the integrated universal remote con-
trol three times. The corresponding memory key 1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
If you have any additional questions,
please contact your BMW center.<
Clearing memory keys
Individual memory keys 1 can not be
cleared. However, you clear all three
memory keys 1 together as follows:
Press both outer keys 1 of the integrated
universal remote control for approx.
20 seconds, maintaining pressure until the
indicator lamp 2 starts to flash.

undermining your ability to steer and brake
the vehicle.<
Driving through water
Do not drive through water on the
road if it is deeper than 1 ft (30 cm),
and then only at walking speed at the most.
Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the elec-
trical systems and the transmission may be
damaged.<
Brake system
Braking with ABS
The best way to achieve optimal response
from the ABS is to apply maximum pres-
sure to the brake pedal during emergencyÐ
panic stops. Since the vehicle maintains
steering responsiveness, you can never-
theless avoid possible obstacles with a
minimum of steering effort.
Pulsation at the brake pedal combines with
sounds from the hydraulic circuits to indi-
cate to the driver that ABS is in its active
mode.
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light but con-
sistent pedal pressure can lead to high
temperatures, brake wear and possibly
even brake failure.<
Disc brakes
Driving in wet conditions
While driving in wet conditions and in
heavy rain, it is a good idea to apply light
pressure to the brake pedal every few
miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure
that this maneuver does not endanger
other road users. The heat generated in this
process helps dry the pads and rotors to
ensure that full braking efficiency will then
be available when you need it.
Hills
You can retain full and unimpaired braking
efficiency by downshifting to a gear in
which only minimal brake applications are
needed when descending long or steep
downhill stretches.
You can further enhance the engine's bra-
king effect by selecting a lower gear in the
automatic transmission's manual mode,
downshifting as far as first gear on extre-
mely steep stretches, refer to page 68. This
strategy helps you avoid placing excessive
loads on the brake system.
Never allow the vehicle to coast with
the transmission in Neutral Ð or with
the engine switched off Ð there is no engine
braking when the transmission is in Neu-
tral, and no power-assist for brakes and
steering when the engine is not running.
Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other
objects to protrude into the area around the
accelerator and brake pedals and obstruct
their movement.<
Corrosion
When the vehicle is driven only occasio-
nally, during extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all, and in operating
conditions where brake applications are
less frequent, there is an increased ten-
dency for corrosion to form on rotors, while
contaminants accumulate on the brake
pads. This occurs because the minimal
pressure which must be exerted by the
pads during brake applications to clean the
rotors is not reached.
Should corrosion form on the brake rotors,
the brakes will tend to respond with a pul-
sating effect that even extended applica-
tion will fail to cure.
Brake pads
If the brake pad wear warning lamp
appears in the Check Control,
accompanied by a text: please take
careful note of the additional information in
the Control Display.

Roof-mounted luggage
rack*
Anchorage points
The anchorage points are located within
the door openings.
A special rack system is available as an
option for your BMW. Please comply with
the precautions included with the installa-
tion instructions.
Because roof racks raise the vehicle's
center of gravity when loaded, they have a
major effect on its handling and steering
response.
You should therefore always remember not
to exceed the approved roof weight, the
approved gross vehicle weight or the axle
loads when loading the rack.
You can find the specified weights in the
Technical data section on page 210.
Make sure that the load is not too heavy,
and that it does not extend outward to
beyond the limits of the loading surface.
Always load the heaviest pieces first Ð on
the bottom. Be sure that adequate clea-
rance is maintained for raising the sliding/
tilt sunroof, and that objects do not project
into the opening path of the luggage com-
partment lid.
Secure roof-mounted cargo correctly and
securely to prevent it from shifting or being
lost during the trip.
Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration
and braking maneuvers. Take corners
gently.
Entry/pass tags
Infrared windshield technology has been
used on your vehicle to minimize solar
heating of the vehicle interior. This tech-
nology also reduces the ability of electronic
devices to transmit and receive through the
windshield, which will impair their perfor-
mance and operating range.
If you want to place an electronic toll col-
lection device or entry/pass tags behind
the windshield, please use the area marked
in the illustration. This area is clearly visible
from inside the vehicle.

Navigation
This section contains various examples
that illustrate how the navigation system
provides you with reliable guidance
to your destination.

Navigation
GPS
Enter data only when the vehicle is
stationary, and always obey the traffic
regulations and road signs in the event of
any contradiction between traffic and road
conditions and the instructions issued by
the navigation system. If you do not
observe this precaution, you may be in vio-
lation of the law, and can endanger vehicle
occupants and other road users.<
GPS stands for Global Positioning System.
This integral component within your
vehicle's navigation system relies on refer-
ence satellites to determine the precise
location of your vehicle.
By allowing you to find your destination
without having to consult conventional
road maps as you drive, the navigation
system makes an important contribution to
traffic safety.
The result: the navigation system provides
you with dependable guidance to your des-
tination.
Map CD
Map CDs are inserted in the navigation
computer located behind the left-hand side
trim in the luggage compartment.
To ensure that your vehicle's navigation
system has access to the latest highway
network information, always load the most
recent CD version of the digital road map.
As is the case with conventional road
maps, the map CDs are subject to periodic
updates to ensure that they reflect the
latest information and surveys.
Map CDs are available at your BMW
center.<
Changing the map CD
As you drive, the computer will alert you
when you are leaving the area stored on
your current map CD; you should respond
by changing the map CD in the navigation
computer.
Map CDs contain road maps covering one
or more countries or regions.
To change the map CD:
1.Press the button
The CD is ejected from the navigation
computer
2.Take out the CD
3.Insert the new CD with the labeled side
up.
