relay BMW M4 2016 Owners Manual

General driving information
Closing the boot lid WARNING
An open boot lid projects beyond the ve‐
hicle, and in the event of an accident, braking
or avoidance manoeuvres, it can endanger ve‐ hicle occupants and other road users, or dam‐
age the vehicle. There is also the danger of ex‐
haust fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle. Danger of injury or damage to prop‐
erty. Do not drive with the boot lid open.◀
If there is no alternative to driving with the tail‐
gate open:▷Close all windows and the Glass Roof.▷Turn up the blower to a high output level.▷Maintain moderate speed.
Hot exhaust system
WARNING
During driving, high temperatures can be
generated under the body, for example be‐
cause of the exhaust system. If flammable ma‐
terials, for example leaves of grass, come into
contact with hot parts of the exhaust system,
these materials can catch fire. Danger of injury
or damage to property.
Never remove the heat shields fitted here, or
apply underseal to them. Make sure that when driving, idling or parking, no flammable materi‐
als can come into contact with hot vehicle
parts. Do not touch the hot exhaust system.◀
Radio signals WARNING
Certain vehicle functions may be affec‐
ted by interference from high-frequency radio
signals. Such signals are output from a series
of transmission systems, for example, from air
traffic beacons or relay stations for mobile tele‐
communications.
We recommend you consult a Service Partner
or a qualified specialist workshop should you
experience any difficulties.◀
Mobile communication equipment WARNING
The vehicle's electronics and mobile
radio devices can interfere. The transmission
operation of mobile radio devices generates
radiation. Danger of injury or damage to prop‐
erty. If possible, only use mobile radio devices,
e.g. mobile telephones, in the interior with di‐
rect connection to an external antenna to ex‐
clude mutual interference and to dissipate the
radiation from the vehicle's interior.◀
Aquaplaning
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can
form between the tyres and the road.
This situation, known as aquaplaning, means
that the tyre can actually lose contact com‐
pletely with the road surface and the vehicle
can neither be steered nor the brakes properly
applied.
Wading ATTENTION
Driving through excessively deep water
too fast can result in water entering the engine
compartment, electrical system or transmis‐
sion. Danger of damage to property. When
driving through water, do not exceed the maxi‐
mum specified water depth and maximum
fording speed.◀
Only if the water is calm and only up to a water
depth of max. 25 cm, approximately 9.8 inches
and at this depth drive no faster than walking
speed up to 5 km/h, approximately 3 mph.
Safe braking Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as standard.Seite 163Driving precautionsDriving hints163
