It takes a few minutes of driving before
the Flat Tire Monitor can detect and
report a flat tire.
When driving with snow chains,
do not initialize the system.<
Indication of a flat tire
The warning lamp lights up yel-
low. There is a flat tire or exten-
sive inflation pressure loss.
1. Reduce speed and stop the vehicle
carefully. Avoid sudden braking and
steering maneuvers

contact your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle center.<
3. Replace the damaged wheel, refer to

Front fog lamps
Instrument lighting
Briefly press the button to switch on/off.
The parking lamps or low beams
must be switched on for the fog
lamps to operate. A green indi-
cator lamp appears in the instrument
cluster to indicate that the front fog
lamps are on.
If the high beams are switched on, the
front fog lamps go out.
If the automatic headlamp control
is activated, the low beams will
automatically be switched on when the
front fog lamps are switched on.<530us210

Roller sun blinds

Parked car ventilation
*
Roller sun blinds for rear side
windows
*
Use the strap to pull out the blinds, then
hook them in the attachment provided.
With roller sun blinds attached,
do not open the windows during
travel. The blinds may otherwise be
damaged by the wind.<
You can use this system to ventilate the
interior and lower its temperature, using
the blower of the parked car ventilation
or of the automatic climate control.
The parked car ventilation is operated
via the MID Multi-Information Display,
refer to page84 or via the onboard
computer, refer to the separate
Owner's Manual.
You can set two different times for the
system to start; it will remain active for
30 minutes. You can also switch it on
and off directly. Since the system uses
a substantial amount of electrical cur-
rent, you should refrain from switching
it on twice in succession without allow-
ing the battery to be recharged in nor-
mal operation between uses.When a preselected activation time is
set, the parked car ventilation is opera-
tional at outside temperatures above
approx. 607/166, or by direct switch
activation.
The air enters the passenger compart-
ment through the vent outlets in the
instrument cluster, which can be
adjusted for both direction and airflow.
The vent outlets must therefore be open
for the system to operate.

Hood Unlocking Pull the lever located under the left side
of the instrument cluster.
Never attempt to perform any ser-
vice or repair operations on your
vehicle without the required profes-
sional technical training. If you are not
familiar with the regulations to be
observed, only have work on your vehi-
cle carried out by a BMW Sports Activ-
ity Vehicle center or a workshop that
uses personnel trained in accordance
with BMW requirements. If this work is
not carried out properly, there is a dan-
ger of subsequent damage and related
safety hazards.< 530de295
Opening Pull the release handle and open the
hood. 530de296
Closing Allow the hood to fall from a height of
about 12 in/30 cm so that it audibly
engages.
Observe the same precautions
that apply to all closing operations
by ensuring that the hood's travel range
is clear and unobstructed before allow-
ing the hood to fall into position.
If you discover that the hood is not
completely closed while driving, stop
immediately and close it securely.< 530de369
