Retractable hardtopGeneral information
Adhere to the following instructions:▷It is advisable that you close the retractable
hardtop when you park the vehicle. Not
only does the closed hardtop protect the
vehicle interior against unanticipated
weather damage, it also offers theft protec‐
tion. However, even when the hardtop is
closed, valuables should only be stored in
the locked cargo area.▷Do not attach roof rack systems to the re‐
tractable hardtop, and in particular do not
attach magnetic racks.▷Do not attach rack systems to the trunk lid,
and in particular do not attach magnetic
racks.▷When the retractable hardtop is operated,
the trunk lid swings back and up.
Before operating the retractable hardtop,
ensure that there is enough clearance, e.g.,
in tight parking spaces.▷If you open the hardtop while it is wet, e.g.,
after driving in the rain, water may drip into
the cargo area.
If necessary, remove items from the cargo
area beforehand to avoid water stains or
soiling.▷Opening and closing while the vehicle is
moving can cause air turbulence in the
cargo area.
Properly stow away objects in the cargo
area.▷At temperatures below 14 ℉/-10 ℃, the
retractable hardtop cannot be moved.
A message appears on the Control Display.
Do not touch the mechanism and keep
the opening path clear.
During opening and closing, do not reach into
the mechanism and keep children away from
the opening path of the retractable hardtop;
otherwise, there is the risk of injury.◀
Do not place objects on the retractable
hardtop.
Do not place any objects on the retractable
hardtop or on the trunk lid; otherwise, they
could fall during movements of the retractable
hardtop and cause damage or injury.◀
Before opening and closing Always open or close the hardtop fully.
Do not let the hardtop stop in an inter‐
mediate position when opening or closing.
Otherwise, there is the danger of personal in‐
jury since the hardtop will be lowered automat‐
ically after a few minutes.◀▷Observe the safety precautions above.▷Ensure that the trunk lid is closed.▷The vehicle should be parked on fairly level
ground. Excessive angle is indicated by a
light.▷Fold down the cargo area partition and
make sure it engages, refer to the instruc‐
tions below.▷Do not place any objects next to or on the
cargo area partition and close the storage
compartment on the left side of the cargo
area.▷Do not exceed the maximum loading
height under the cargo area partition; refer
to the label in the cargo area showing a line
indicating the maximum height.Seite 42ControlsOpening and closing42

Tachometer
Never force the engine speed up into the red
warning field, see arrow. In this range, the fuel
supply is interrupted to protect the engine.
Coolant temperature A warning lamp will come on if the coolant, and
therefore the engine, becomes too hot. In addi‐
tion, a message will appear on the Control Dis‐
play.
Check the coolant level, refer to page 239.
Engine oil temperature▷Cold engine: the pointer is at the low tem‐
perature end. Drive at moderate engine
and vehicle speeds.▷Normal operating temperature: the pointer
is in the middle of the temperature display.▷Hot engine: the pointer is at the high tem‐
perature end. Switch off the engine imme‐
diately and allow it to cool down.
If the engine oil temperature is too high, a mes‐
sage appears on the Control Display.
Check the oil level, refer to page 236.
Fuel gauge
The vehicle inclination may cause the display
to vary.
Notes on refueling, refer to page 222.

Recommended tire brands
For each tire size, the manufacturer of your ve‐
hicle recommends certain tire brands. These
can be identified by a star on the tire sidewall.
With proper use, these tires meet the highest
standards for safety and handling.
Retreaded tires The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Retreaded tires
Possibly substantial variations in the de‐
sign and age of the tire casing structures can
limit service life and have a negative impact on
road safety.◀
Winter tires
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
winter tires for winter roads or at temperatures
below +45 ℉/+7 ℃.
Although so-called all-season M+S tires do
provide better winter traction than summer tires, they do not provide the same level of per‐
formance as winter tires.
Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires,
then display a corresponding sign in the field
of vision. You can obtain this sign from the tire
specialist or from your service center.
Maximum speed for winter tires
Do not exceed the maximum speed for
the winter tires; otherwise, tire damage and ac‐
cidents can occur.◀
Run-flat tires
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.
Your service center will be glad to advise you.
Rotating wheels between axlesThe manufacturer of your vehicle advises
against swapping wheels between the front
and rear axles.
This can impair the handling characteristics.
Rotating the tires is not permissible when us‐
ing different types of tires.
Storage Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with
as little exposure to light as possible.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres‐
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Snow chains Only certain fine-link snow chains have been
tested by BMW, classified as safe for use and
recommended. Consult your service center for
more information.
Snow chains must be mounted in pairs and on
the rear wheels only. Observe the manufactur‐
er's instructions when mounting snow chains.
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h
when using snow chains.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor if snow
chains are mounted; otherwise, the instrument
might issue an incorrect reading.Seite 233Wheels and tiresMobility233

CareVehicle equipmentThis chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series. Therefore, it also
describes equipment that may not be found in
your vehicle, for instance due to the selected
special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
When using the features and systems descri‐
bed here, adhere to local regulations.
Car washes Notes Steam jets or high-pressure washers
When using steam jets or high-pressure
washers, hold them a sufficient distance away
and use a maximum temperature of
140 ℉/60 ℃.
Holding them too close or using excessively
high pressures or temperatures can cause
damage or preliminary damage that may then
lead to long-term damage.
Follow the operating instructions for the high-
pressure washer.◀
Cleaning sensors/cameras with high-
pressure washers
When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the seals of the retractable hardtop and
the exterior sensors and cameras, for Park Dis‐
tance Control, for instance, for extended peri‐
ods of time and only from a distance of at least
12 in/30 cm.◀
Regularly remove foreign bodies, such as
leaves, from the area below the windshield
when the hood is open.Wash your vehicle frequently, particularly in
winter.
Intense soiling and road salt can damage the
vehicle.
Washing in automatic car washes Give preference to cloth car washes or those
that use soft brushes in order to avoid paint damage.
Notes Note the following:▷Make sure that the wheels and tires are not
damaged by the transport mechanisms.▷Fold in the exterior mirrors; otherwise, they
may be damaged, depending on the width
of the vehicle.▷Deactivate the rain sensor, refer to
page 62, to avoid unintentional wiper acti‐
vation.▷Unscrew the road antenna.
Guide rails in car washes
Avoid car washes with guide rails higher
than 4 in/10 cm; otherwise, the vehicle body
could be damaged.◀
Before driving into a car wash The vehicle is able to roll if the following steps
are taken.
