The Service Interval Display does not
continue counting down to the next
service during periods when the vehicle is
stored with the battery disconnected or the
battery switch OFF.
Please remember that brake fluid should
be changed every two years at the latest,
even if the display does not yet indicate
that service is required, refer to page 192.
This same precaution applies to all of the
other service and maintenance operations
scheduled according to periodic intervals,
as opposed to mileage.<

Displaying route list
You can access a listing of streets and
towns on your route whenever the guid-
ance system is active. This list is based on
the navigation system's suggested travel
route.
The distances remaining to be traveled on
each individual road are also displayed.
1.Select "View" and confirm your selec-
tion. All the menu items will disappear
after a few moments if no further entries
are made
2.Select "Route" and confirm.
If the system has not yet completely
defined the travel route, "..." will appear
in the list.
Select and confirm to switch off the
route list.
The route list is displayed again after
a short time if no other menu item has
been selected.<
Selecting new route
During active guidance you can revise the
navigation system's route recommenda-
tions to avoid particular stretches of road.
Enter the number of miles/kilometers that
you want to travel before returning to the
original route.
Select "New route" and confirm your selec-
tion.
>"Avoid sect.":
The route list appears in the Control
Display. Select one or several con-
nected sections of the route that you
wish to avoid and confirm your selection.
You can correct erroneous entries by
again selecting and confirming the
stretch of the travel route to cancel its
avoid status. You can also replace the
avoid section by marking another
stretch.
Use to exit from the route list and
calculate a new route
>"Avoid route":
You can also make a detour of up to
20 miles (30 km) around selected sec-
tions of the calculated route. Proceed
by turning the controller to enter the
desired detour mileage, then confirm
your selection. To exit the "Avoid route"
mode without modifying your route,
enter 0 miles (0 km) and confirm your
entry.
Bypass traffic congestion
If traffic congestion is present on your pro-
jected travel route, the navigation system
will issue a "Last exit" warning just before
you reach the back-up.
To obtain an alternative route leading
around the traffic congestion:
Select "Detour" and confirm.
The GPS navigation system determines a
new route and then returns to the destina-
tion guidance system.
The traffic information service might
not be available in some regions,
which means that a traffic jam cannot be
displayed.<
Voice guidance
To prevent the navigation system from
interrupting other audio sources, such as a
news program or traffic bulletin, you can
deactivate the voice guidance system.
Press the controller and select the desired
symbol during active destination guidance:
Activating and deactivating voice
guidance.
{Message on} or
{Message off}.

wear one and one-half Ð 1g Ð times as
well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of
tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi-
cantly from the norm due to variations in
driving habits, service practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or
peak traction characteristics.<
Temperature
The temperature grades are A Ð the
highest Ð, B, and C, representing the tire's
resistance to the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades B and A repre-
sent higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combina-
tion, can cause heat buildup and possible
tire failure.<
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA
Temperature A
Do not use retreaded tires, since dri-
ving safety may be impaired. Possible
variations in the design and the age Ð which
could be substantial Ð of the carcasses can
lead to unusually rapid wear.<
Tire age
The tire's date of manufacture is indicated
on the sidewall:
DOT ... 3402 indicates that a tire was
manufactured in week 34 of the year 2002.
Regardless of mileage or wear, BMW
recommends that you replace all tires Ð
including the spare Ð after a maximum of
6 years, even though the tires may have a
theoretical service life of up to 10 years.
Wheel and tire
combinations
The right choice
Use only wheel and tire combinations
that BMW has approved for your par-
ticular vehicle. Variations in factors such as
manufacturing tolerances mean that even
wheels and tires with identical official size
ratings could actually have different dimen-
sions than the approved units Ð these diffe-
rences could lead to body contact, and
with it the risk of severe accidents. If non-
approved wheels and tires are used, BMW
cannot evaluate their suitability, and there-
fore cannot be held liable for driving
safety.<
BMW tests certain tire brands for each tire
size, classifies them as road-safe and
approves them. Consult your BMW center
for more information. Observe any country-
specific regulations, e.g. on making a cor-
responding entry in the vehicle documents.

Run-flat tires*
You will recognize run-flat tires by a cir-
cular symbol containing the letters RSC on
the side of the tire. They consist of self-
contained tires and special rims. The tire
reinforcement ensures that the tire retains
some residual safety in the event of pres-
sure drop and driving remains possible to
a restricted degree. The vehicle is
equipped with a Flat Tire Monitor or TPM
Tire Pressure Monitor which indicates
punctures.
The reinforcement on the flanks of the
tires means that it is usually not pos-
sible to detect an air loss from outside.<
Flat tire
If you have a flat tire, the indicator lamp
symbol in the Check Control will light up in
red, and a message will appear. In addition,
a gong sounds.
Detailed information on the Flat Tire Mon-
itor or TPM Tire Pressure Monitor can be
found on page 98 or 99.
Reduce vehicle speed carefully to under
50 mph (80 km/h), avoiding hard brake
applications and steering maneuvers.
If the defective wheel is not recognizable
as such immediately, check the inflation
pressure in all four tires.
For reasons of safety, do not arrange
for run-flat tires to be repaired. Your
BMW center has the information needed
for working with these tires and is equipped
with the necessary special tools.<
Continuing driving with a damaged
tire
Driving on run-flat tires can continue
depending on the vehicle load and the
severity of the tire damage, at a maximum
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). You can deter-
mine the possible mileage for continued
driving on the basis of the following general
indications:
>Tire inflation pressure 0 psi/kPa:
With empty vehicle approx. 90 miles
(150 km)
With full payload approx. 30 miles
(50 km)
>Tire inflation pressure 7 psi/50 kPa Ð
15 psi/100 kPa:
Approx. 300 miles (500 km)
>Tire inflation pressure greater than
15 psi/100 kPa:
approx. 600 miles (1000 km).
Drive reservedly and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). In the
case of air loss, you can expect changes in
vehicle handling such as reduce lane sta-
bility, longer braking distances, and
changes in self-steering properties.<
Battery
Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e.,
the electrolyte will last for the life of the bat-
tery when the vehicle is operated in a tem-
perate climate.
For all questions that regard the bat-
tery, please consult your BMW
center. Since the battery is maintenance-
free, the following is for your information
only.<
Charging the battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via
the terminals in the engine compartment
with the engine off. Connections, refer to
Jump-starting on page 203.
