Microfilter, activated charcoal
filter

A microfilter traps dust and pollen from
the outside air. The activated-charcoal
filter provides additional protection by
filtering gaseous pollutants from the
outside air. Your BMW center replaces
this combined filter
* as a standard part
of your scheduled maintenance. A sub-
stantial reduction in air flow indicates
that the filter needs to be replaced
early.
For additional details on the filter
change, please refer to page 154.The seat cushion and backrest can be
heated with ignition key in position 2.
By repeated actuation of a button, you
can select one of three different opera-
tion modes.
>Two indicator lamps on: Heating at a
high temperature
>One indicator lamp on: Heating at a
low temperature
>Indicator lamps off: Seat heating de-
activated.

feature is switched on or off.
When the system is switched on, the
sensation of a significantly larger pas-
senger area is created (spatial en-
hancement), with an improvement of
the stereo effect throughout the seating

quently switches between stereo and
mono operation. Switch this feature off

Remote controlNew transmitter If you place a new transmitter into ser-
vice (either a replacement or an addi-
tional transmitter), it must be initialized:
1 Enter the vehicle and close the doors
2 Turn the ignition key briefly (max.
5 seconds) to position 1 in the steer-
ing lock and then turn it back to posi-
tion 0. Remove the key
3 Press button 1 (refer to the illustra-
tion) and hold it. Maintain pressure on
button 1 while rapidly pressing button
2 three times in succession within a
period of 10 seconds
4 Release button 1
5 The central locking system activates
and releases all lock mechanisms in
rapid succession to indicate that the
initialization procedure has been suc-
cessfully completed.463de028
If the central locking system fails to re-
spond, you must repeat the initialization
procedure.
If you possess additional transmitters
for your vehicle (up to a maximum of
four units), you must now initialize these
as well. Be sure that no more than
30 seconds is allowed to elapse be-
tween the individual initialization proce-
dures. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of
the transmitters when doing this. The
central locking system will confirm every
initialization procedure as described in
step 5.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your authorized BMW
center, who can also provide you with
replacement transmitters.Whenever you take receipt of a
new transmitter, always turn it to
position 2 (ignition switched on) in the
ignition lock and then back to the home
position, so that the electronic immobil-
iser (see page 33) "accepts" the new
key.
Protect the transmitters against unau-
thorized use, e.g. by handing in only
door and ignition key 3 or the spare key
(see page 32) at a hotel reception.<

Changing tires
Take these precautionary mea-
sures if you have either a flat tire
or are changing the tire:
Park the vehicle as far from the flow of
traffic as possible and on firm ground.
Switch on the hazard flashers. Turn the
steering wheel to the straight-ahead
position, remove the key and engage
the steering lock. Shift into 1st or re-
verse (selector lever in "Park" with auto-
matic) and engage the parking brake.
All passengers should be outside the
car and well away from your immediate
working area (behind the guardrail, for
instance).
If a warning triangle or portable hazard
warning lamp is available, set it up on
the roadside at an appropriate distance
from the rear of the vehicle. Comply
with all safety guidelines and regula-
tions.
Change the wheel only on a level, firm
surface that is not slippery. Avoid jack-
ing the car on a soft or slippery support
surface (snow, ice, loose gravel, etc.),
as it could slide sideways.
Ensure that the jack is positioned on a
solid support surface.
Do not place wooden blocks or similar
objects under the jack. If this done, the
jack might not be able to reach its full
support capacity because of the limited
height.
Do not lie under the vehicle or start the
engine when the vehicle is supported
by the jack – risk of fatal injury.<
Your BMW has either a spare
* or
space-saver tire
* for temporary use and
to ensure your mobility.

floor panel completely out to
remove the spare tire
* (refer to
page 41).<

Changing tires Battery Driving with the space-saver
spare tire
*
Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 45 mph (80 km/h).
Be aware that vehicle handling will be
altered. Slower brake response time,
longer braking distances and changed
steering characteristics may be antici-
pated when approaching limit condi-
tions.
The changes in handling characteristics
will be even more pronounced in con-
junction with winter tires.
Only one space-saver spare tire
may be mounted. Mount a wheel
and tire with the same size and specifi-
cations as the others at the earliest
possible opportunity. Maintain correct
tire pressures. Refer to page 28.<
Battery location The battery is located at the right-rear
of the luggage compartment. Raise the
luggage compartment floor panel (refer
to page 41), and give a screwdriver or a
coin a 1/4-turn counterclockwise to
release the two fasteners plus an addi-
tional fastener in the upper-center side
trim panel. In order to remove the stor-
age tray, slide the side trim panel
slightly upward.460de176

please read the following infor-
mation.
