Power steering Cellular phone Radio reception 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. The 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, struc-
tural or natural obstructions can all lead
to unavoidable reception interference,
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.
For information on settings and opera-
tion of your radio, please refer to the
separate Owner's Manual.
