Emergency detection of remote
control
Also in the following situations, radio-ready
state and drive readiness can be established:
▷Interference of radio transmission to re‐
mote control by external sources e.g., by
radio masts.▷Empty battery in remote control.▷Interference from radio transmissions
through mobile devices in close proximity
to remote control.▷Interference of radio transmission by
charger while charging items such as mo‐
bile devices in the vehicle.
A Check Control message is displayed if one
attempts to turn on the radio-ready state or ac‐
tivate engine readiness.
Activation of drive readiness via
emergency detection of the remote
control
If a respective Check Control message ap‐
pears, hold the remote control with its back
against the marked area on the steering col‐
umn. The BMW logo on the remote control
should be at the same height as the marked
area. Press the Start/Stop button within
10 seconds while pressing the brake pedal.
If the remote control is not recognized: slightly
change the height position of the remote con‐
trol and repeat the procedure.
Personal Profile
The concept Individual settings in the vehicle are saved in
personal profiles. Every remote control is as‐
signed the last active profile.
Three personal profiles and a guest profile can
be created.
▷Changes to the settings are automatically
saved in the profile currently activated.▷Unlocking the car activates the profile that
is stored in the remote control.▷Your personal settings will be recognized
and activated even if the vehicle had been
operated with another remote control.
Adjusting
The settings for the following systems and
functions are saved in the active profile. The

FTM Flat Tire Monitor The Flat Tire Monitor signals a loss of
tire inflation pressure in a tire.
Reduce your speed and stop cau‐
tiously. Avoid sudden braking and steering ma‐
neuvers.
For more information, see Flat Tire Monitor, re‐
fer to page 98.
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM Illuminated: the Tire Pressure Monitor
signals a loss of tire inflation pressure
in a tire.
Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid
sudden braking and steering maneuvers.
Flashing and then continuously illuminated: no
flat tire or loss of tire inflation pressure can be
detected.▷Interference through systems or devices
with the same radio frequency: after leav‐
ing the area of the interference, the system
automatically becomes active again.▷RDC could not conclude the reset: perform
the reset of the system again.▷A wheel without TPM electronics is fitted:
have the service center check it if needed.▷Malfunction: have the system checked by
your service center.
For more information, see Tire Pressure Moni‐
tor, refer to page 95.
Steering system Steering system in some cases defec‐
tive.
Have the steering system checked by
the service center.
Engine functions Have the vehicle checked by the serv‐ice center.
For additional information, refer to On-
board Diagnostics socket, refer to page 186.
Green lights Turn signal Turn signal on.
Unusually rapid flashing of the indicator
lamp indicates that a turn signal bulb
has failed.
For additional information, refer to Turn signal,
refer to page 69.
Parking lights, headlight control Parking lights or headlights are acti‐
vated.

When you approach a curve the system may
briefly report vehicles in the next lane due to
the bend of the curve. If the system deceler‐
ates you may compensate it by briefly acceler‐
ating.
After releasing the gas pedal the system is re‐
activated and controls speed independently.
Driving away In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off
automatically; for example:
▷On steep inclines.▷From behind bumps in the road.
In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.
Malfunction
A Check Control message is displayed if the
system fails.
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
▷When an object was not correctly de‐
tected.▷In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.▷In tight curves.▷If the camera viewing field or the front
windshield are dirty or covered.▷When driving toward bright lights.▷Up to 20 seconds after drive readiness is
switched on via the Start/Stop knob.▷During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.Cruise control
The concept The system maintains a preset speed via the
buttons on the steering wheel. The system
brakes on downhill gradients if engine braking
is insufficient.
General information
Depending on the driving settings, the features
of the cruise control can change in certain
areas.
Hints Unfavorable conditions
Do not use the system if unfavorable
conditions make it impossible to drive at a con‐
stant speed, e.g.:▷On winding roads.▷In heavy traffic.▷On slippery roads, in fog, snow or rain, or
on a loose road surface.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi‐
cle and cause an accident.◀

CoolantVehicle features and optionsThis chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
Hints Danger of burns from hot engine
Do not open the cooling system while
the engine is hot; otherwise, esliding coolant
may cause burns.◀
Suitable additives
Only use suitable additives; otherwise,
engine damage may occur. The additives are
harmful to your health.◀
Coolant consists of water and additives.
The vehicle's cooling circuits are filled with dif‐
ferent types of coolant. Do not mix the differ‐
ent types of coolant.
Not all commercially available additives are
suitable for the vehicle. Information about the
suitable additives are available from the service
center.
Coolant reservoir The vehicle has two coolant reservoirs that are
located under the hood.
To ensure the operational reliability of the vehi‐
cle, always check the coolant level of both
coolant reservoirs.
Open hood, refer to page 180.1Coolant reservoir for climate control2Coolant reservoir for drive
Coolant level
Coolant reservoir for climate control
Checking
1.Allow the drive to cool down.2.Turn the lid of the coolant reservoir slightly
counterclockwise to allow any excess
pressure to dissipate, then open it.3.Check the coolant level.
The coolant level is correct if it lies be‐
tween the minimum and maximum marks
in the reservoir.
Adding
1.Slowly add coolant up to the specified
level; do not overfill.Seite 181CoolantMobility183

Socket for OBD Onboard
Diagnosis
Note Socket for Onboard DiagnosisThe socket for onboard diagnostics may
only be used by the service center or a work‐
shop that operates in accordance with the
specifications of the vehicle manufacturer with
correspondingly trained personnel and other
authorized persons. Otherwise, use may result
in operating problems for the vehicle.◀
Position
Located on the driver's side is an OBD socket
for reading the vehicle data. On vehicles with
Range Extender, additional components are
checked that are critical for its emissions mix.
Emissions
Applies to vehicles with Range Extender.
▷The warning lamp lights up:
Emissions are deteriorating. Have
the vehicle checked as soon as
possible.▷The warning lamp flashes under certain
circumstances:This indicates that there is excessive mis‐
firing in the engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the
system checked immediately; otherwise,
serious engine misfiring within a brief pe‐
riod can seriously damage emission con‐
trol components, in particular the catalytic
converter.Seite 184MobilityMaintenance186
