For you own safety

Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels
containing up to and including 10 %
ethanol or other oxygenates with up to
2.8 % oxygen by weight Ð that is, 15 %
MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent
amount of co-solvent Ð will not void the
applicable warranties respecting defects in
materials or workmanship. Field experi-
ence has indicated significant differences
in fuel quality Ð volatility, composition, addi-
tives, etc. Ð among gasolines offered for
sale in the United States and Canada. The
use of poor quality fuels may result in drive-
ability, starting and stalling problems espe-
cially under certain environmental
conditions such as high ambient tempera-
ture and high altitude.
Should you encounter driveability prob-
lems which you suspect could be related to
the fuel you are using, we recommend that
you respond by switching to a recognized
high-quality brand.
Failure to comply with these recommenda-
tions may result in unscheduled mainte-
nance.
Follow the relevant safety rules when you
are handling gasoline.

BMW cannot test every product made by
other manufacturers to verify if it can be
used on a BMW safely and without risk to
either the vehicle, its operation, or its occu-
pants. Original BMW Parts, BMW Accesso-
ries and other products approved by BMW,
together with professional advice on using

shields, telephones Ð including operation of
any portable cellular phone from within the
vehicle without using an externally
mounted antenna Ð or transceiver equip-
ment, for instance, CBs, walkie-talkie, ham
radio or similar accessories, may cause
extensive damage to the vehicle, compro-
mise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's
electrical system or affect the validity of the

Central locking system The concept The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated
>from outside via the remote control as
well as via the driver's door lock
>from inside via the button for the central
locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer to
page 37.
The anti-theft system is automatically
armed whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/deactivated at
the same time.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically (only
those doors which were not locked sepa-
rately with the safety lock buttons). Refer to
page 38. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.Opening and closing Ð from
outside Using the remote control The remote control makes opening and
closing the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore, it provides three
additional functions which you can only
execute via the remote control:
>Switching on interior lamps, refer to
page 36.
You can also use this function to locate
your vehicle in parking garages, etc. >Opening and closing the luggage
compartment lid, refer to pages 36, 39.
The luggage compartment lid opens,
regardless of whether it was previously
locked.
>Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an alarm.
When you engage/release the vehicle's
locks, you simultaneously activate/deacti-
vate the anti-theft system, arm/disarm the
alarm system
and switch the interior lamps
on/off.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<
Remote control
Because any persons or animals left
unattended in a parked vehicle could
lock the doors from the inside, you should
always keep the remote control unit with
you; this precaution ensures that you will
remain able to unlock the vehicle from the
outside at all times.<
Because their batteries are automati-
cally charged by the ignition lock
during normal operation, remote control
units that are used regularly are always
charged and ready for use.
When it is no longer possible to lock the
vehicle via the remote control, the battery is
discharged. Use this remote control unit
during an extended drive; this will recharge
the battery, refer to page 34. In the event of
a system malfunction, please contact your
BMW center, which is also your source for
replacement keys.<

Starting the engine
Do not allow the engine to run in
enclosed spaces. The exhaust gases
contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and
colorless, but highly toxic gas. Breathing
the exhaust gases poses an extreme health
risk, and can lead to unconsciousness and
death.
Never leave the vehicle parked with the
engine running, as it would then pose a
potential safety hazard.<
1.Insert the remote control unit all the way
into the ignition lock
2.Depress the brake pedal
3.Maintain pressure on the brake pedal
and briefly press the start / stop button.
You can release the brake pedal as soon as
the engine starts.
Your BMW is equipped with the
convenience starting feature. After
depressing the brake pedal, all you need to
do is briefly press the start / stop button.
The system responds by automatically
engaging the starter and allowing it to run
until the engine starts, after which it then
disengages automatically.
The automatic starting mode will not
operate or will be canceled if the battery
voltage is low. It is then possible to start the
engine using electrical power from an
outside source, refer to page 187.
The engine starts immediately in response
to pressure on the button at speeds of
roughly 3 mph (5 km/h) and above. It is not
necessary to depress the brake pedal.<
Do not allow the engine to warm up by
leaving it running while the vehicle remains stationary. Instead, begin to drive immedi-
ately at a moderate engine speed.
Under the following conditions you should
press the accelerator pedal halfway down
when starting:
>If the engine fails to start on the first
attempt, for instance, if it is very hot or cold
>During cold starts at high altitudes, of
roughly 3,300 ft (1000 m) and above, and in
extreme cold, at temperatures of approxi-
mately +5 7 (Ð15 6) and below.
Refrain from starting the vehicle
repeatedly at brief intervals, and
avoid an excessive number of starting
attempts if the vehicle fails to start;
repeated activation of the starter over an
extended period would allow unburned or
only partially combusted fuel to enter the
catalytic converter, where it can cause
overheating and damage to the unit.<
Switching off engineWith the vehicle stationary, briefly press the
start / stop button. This also activates the
radio mode.
Should exceptional circumstances
render it necessary for you to switch
off the engine while the vehicle is moving,
maintain pressure on the start / stop button
for approx. 1 second.
If you maintain pressure on the start / stop
button for longer than two seconds while
switching off the ignition, the remote
control unit will be ejected.<
Always remove the remote control
unit from the ignition lock before
leaving the vehicle.< Parking brake The concept Your BMW is equipped with an electro-
mechanical parking brake.
The parking brake is primarily intended to
prevent the vehicle from rolling while
parked.

Fuel level display The fuel gauge mode appears automati-
cally once the fuel level falls into the
reserve range. The word "Reserve"
appears at the same time, indicating that
approx. 2.6 gallons (10 litres) of fuel remain
in the fuel tank.
It will not be possible to cancel the
onboard computer display once the
fuel level drops into the reserve range.
However, you can still request a display of
the cruising range. Computer, refer to
page 81.<
Tank capacity: approx. 19.4 gallons
(88 litres).
If the tilt of the vehicle varies (when you are
driving in mountainous areas, for example),
the needle may fluctuate slightly.
Always remember to refuel early:
attempts to continue driving to the
last drop can result in damage to the
engine and/or catalytic converter.< Cruising range Displays the estimated cruising range
available with the remaining fuel. The
system calculates the cruising range based
on operating conditions and the amount of
fuel remaining in the tank. The basis for the
calculations is the average fuel consump-
tion over the preceding 20 miles (30 km).
