Replacing components
258 2.Guide the jack head into the rectangular 
recess of the jacking point when cranking 
up, refer to illustration detail.
3.Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you are 
changing is raised from the ground.
Mounting a wheel
1.Unscrew the lug bolts and remove the 
wheel.
2.Remove accumulations of mud or dirt from 
the mounting surfaces of the wheel and 
hub. Also clean the lug bolts.
3.Position the new wheel or compact wheel. 
Secure the wheel by screwing at least two 
lug bolts into opposite bolt holes.
When you mount wheels other than Genu-
ine BMW light-alloy wheels, different lug 
bolts may also be required.
4.Screw in the remaining lug bolts. Tighten all 
the bolts securely in a diagonal pattern.
5.Lower the vehicle and remove the jack from 
beneath the vehicle.
After mounting
1.Tighten the lug bolts in a diagonal pattern.
To ensure safety, always have the 
lug bolts checked with a calibrated 
torque wrench as soon as possible to 
ensure that they are tightened to the speci-
fied torque. Otherwise, incorrectly tight-
ened lug bolts are a hidden safety risk. The 
tightening torque is 101 lb ft/140 Nm.<
2.Stow the defective wheel in the cargo bay.
The defective wheel cannot be stored 
under the floor panel flap due to its 
size.<3.Check and correct the tire inflation pressure 
at the earliest opportunity.
Protect valve stems with valve screw 
caps against dirt and contamination. 
Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source of 
gradual air loss.<
4.Initialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to 
page93, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, 
refer to page94.
5.Replace the damaged tire as soon as possi-
ble and have the new wheel/tire balanced.
Driving with compact wheel
Drive reservedly and do not exceed a 
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. Otherwise, 
changes in the driving characteristics could 
result, for example reduced track stability on 
braking, extended braking distance, and altered 
self-steering characteristics in the limit range. 
In conjunction with winter tires, these charac-
teristics are more pronounced.<
Only one compact wheel may be 
mounted. Restore the wheels and tires to 
their original size as quickly as possible. Failure 
to do so is a safety risk.<
Vehicle battery
Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e., the 
electrolyte will last for the life of the battery 
when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli-
mate. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center 
will be glad to advise in all matters concerning 
the battery.
Charging battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the 
terminals in the engine compartment with the 
engine switched off. Connections, refer to 
Jump starting on page262.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of following 
replacement at your BMW Sports Activity
