The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out shortly after you switch on the ignition. We recommend that you deactivate the system for increased traction Press the button again; the indicator lamp goes out. The system is actively regulating drive torque in response to monitored vehicle operating conditions.
Any consequences arising from traction loss due to excessive vehicle speed remain the responsibility of the driver. We therefore urge you to avoid using the additional safety margin of the system as an excuse for taking risks. Consult your authorized "Advanced Technology" on page BMW Retailer for repair. When you return the ignition key to position 0, a buzzer sounds for a few seconds to remind you that the lamps have been left on.
Controls Repairs On vehicles with daytime running feature, the lamps come on whenever the ignition key is turned to position 2 with the headlamp switch remaining at 0. Adjust the illumination intensity by turning the rotary dial. Technical Low beams If desired, the lighting switch can be left in the second position: when the ignition is switched off, the external lighting is also switched off.
They can be switched on and off with the switch adjacent to each lamp. Press the switches with the heating symbols: Rapid heat-up as long as the switch lights up brightly. Automatic changeover to regular heating. Heating as long as the switch lights up brightly. The heater switches off automatically. To switch over while heating: press the dimly lit switch. As the system uses a substantial amount of electric current, you should refrain from activating it twice in succession without allowing the battery to be recharged in normal operation between use.
The independent ventilation is available for use when the outside temperature is above 60 5F , but not when driving. The air comes out through the vents for the upper body area. The vents must therefore be open for the system to operate.
Data de You can set the time for the system to start; it will remain active for 30 minutes. You can also turn it on and off directly. Controls The system is operated by the onboard computer, refer to page Car care This ventilates the vehicle's interior and lowers its temperature using the heater or the air conditioner fan.
The switches for the map reading lamps next to the interior lamp are operated in the same manner as the interior lamp switch. Technical 2 Air flow toward upper body The rotary dial on the right affords continuous opening or closing of the air supply, the lever changes the direction of the air flow. The rotary dial on the left tempers the air coming out page Select the interior temperature that is comfortable for you, e. With exterior temperatures above 41 5F 56 you can also use airconditioning 6.
This dries the air and prevents window mist when e. Adjust vent 2 in such a way that the air blows past you and does not strike you directly. Turn the rotary control on the left under the vents 2 for the upper body area to a middle setting, so that you will be driving in cooler air that does not tire you out.
When you activate the AUTO mode, the program takes over the setting of the air distribution and the air supply and, in addition, adjusts your temperature pre-selections to exterior conditions summer, winter. This program maintains a comfortable in-car climate regardless of the season.
The temperature pre-selections as well as the lettering AUTO for the air supply appear in indicator 3. Open the vent outlets for the upper body area. Switch on the air conditioner in warm weather. The maximum cooling capacity is achieved when you set the rotary dial 3 refer to page 92 to cold. The following description gives you additional individual settings.
AUTO Individual air distribution You can cancel the automatic program by selecting distribution patterns to suit your individual requirements. It is not unusual for a small puddle to form there.
The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle. We recommend 70 5F as a standard setting for comfortable travel, both with and without the air conditioner. When you start the vehicle, the system ensures that the selected temperature If the windshields fog over in circu- is achieved as quickly as possible and lated air mode, switch off the circulated maintained at a constant level by the control.

By pressing on any key of the air conditioning you can again engage the system. Effective heating and cooling is ensured at a medium blower speed. The filter is changed by your BMW Retailer when you bring your vehicle for maintenance. A substantial reduction in air flow indicates that the filter needs to be replaced prematurely.
Draft-free ventilation You can adjust the vent outlets for the upper body area to select the optimum airflow rates and directions for your own personal requirements: Use rotary controls 1 to open and close the vents throughout and infinitely-variable range. Use the levers 2 to adjust the direction of the air flow. The rotary control 3 allows you to mix the air from the outlets for your upper body by warming or cooling it as desired: Turn toward blue — colder Turn toward red — warmer Online Edition for Part No.

Always position and secure the load correctly, otherwise it can endanger the passengers in the event of braking or swerving.
Do not exceed the permissible gross weight and axle load refer to page , otherwise the vehicle's operating safety is no longer assured and does not comply with traffic laws. Do not stow heavy or hard objects in the passenger compartment, otherwise they would be thrown around during braking and evasive maneuvers and endanger the occupants.
Engine and differential Up to 1, miles 2, km : Drive at different engine speeds and vehicle speeds, but be careful not to exceed the following engine speed: 4, rpm Refrain from using full throttle and avoid pressing the accelerator beyond the kickdown point. After 1, miles 2, km you can gradually increase the number of revolutions or the speed.
You should also observe these break-in procedures if the engine or differential is replaced later in the course of the vehicle service life. Driving notes Tires Engine Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full traction potential until an initial break-in period has elapsed. This means that you should drive with additional caution for the first miles km.
Do not allow the engine to warm to its normal operating temperature by leaving it idling with the vehicle parked. Brake system Brake pads and disks attain their optimal wear patterns only after approx. However, when starting in extremely cold weather it is a good idea to allow the engine to run at fast idle for about 30 seconds before getting underway; this precaution ensures adequate lubrication. Avoid high engine speeds while the engine is still cold; this helps avoid premature wear and reduced service life.
When driving under high engine loads acceleration, steep hills , try to keep the engine running above 1, rpm. We recommend downshifting into a more suitable range, especially when driving up extended inclines. Camshaft, timing chain and cylinder head cover reas- sembly is reverse of disassembly.
