Winter operation Power steering Cellular phone Skid control Depress the clutch and release the
accelerator pedal. Countersteer care-
fully and attempt to regain control over
the vehicle.ParkingEngage first or reverse gear. Depending
on the steepness of the incline, you can
apply the parking brake as well. In order
to prevent the parking brake pads from
locking due to frost or corrosion, dry
them by gently applying the parking
brake as the vehicle is coming to a
stop. Make sure that following traffic is
not endangered.
The brake lamps do not come
on when the parking brake is
engaged.<
If there is a change in steering response
Ð e. g. difficult or over-responsive
steering Ð at increasing speeds, consult
a BMW center to have it checked.
If the power steering fails,
increased effort will be required to
steer the vehicle.<
Mobile communications systems
(cellular phone, radio, etc.) are
permitted with an output of up to
10 watts only. Mobile communications
devices not specifically designed for
use in your vehicle may trigger malfunc-
tions while you are operating your
vehicle. BMW can neither test nor
assume responsibility for every indi-
vidual product being offered on the
market. We recommend that you
consult your BMW center before
purchasing any device of this kind.
To ensure reliable and trouble-free
operation of your BMW, do not use any
cellular phones or other radio devices
where the antenna is located either
inside the passenger compartment or
otherwise not attached to the outside of
the vehicle.
You will find instructions for operating
your cellular phone in the supplemen-
tary Owner's Manual.

Car radio reception Wind deflectorThe reception and sound quality
obtained from mobile radios vary
according to a variety of factors,
including the broadcast range of the
transmitter and the directional orienta-
tion of the antenna. Interference factors
such as high-tension power lines,
structural or natural obstructions can all
lead to unavoidable reception interfer-
ence, regardless of how well the vehicle
sound system is operating. Climatic
factors such as intense solar radiation,
fog, rain and snow can also interfere
with reception.
Radio interference can also be caused
by either cellular phones not recom-
mended by BMW or by portable
phones. This phenomenon assumes the
form of a low-pitched hum emanating
from the speaker system.
Please refer to the Owner's Manual that
you received for detailed information on
settings and operation of your radio.
You will find additional details
concerning radio reception in the
chapter "Advanced technology" on
page 150.
MountingAttach the wind deflector while the
convertible top is open and its cover is
not mounted.
1. Push the brackets for the wind
deflector, with the zippers fastened
and facing to the front, onto both roll-
over protection bars as far as to the
upper edge of the chrome collars
(arrow) 520de134
2. Guide the four fasteners to their
respective slots, attach them at an
angle, and press them into place
using the strap hanging in front of
them. Shove the four straps under
the inner side of the convertible top
3. Shove both the center elements all
the way to the vehicle's outside edge
(arrows), so that the cover can then
easily be mounted
4. Fit the cover if you wish to drive with
the convertible top open (refer to
page 42).520de135
