Light-emitting diodes LEDs
Light-emitting diodes installed behind
translucent lenses serve as the light source
for many of the controls and displays in
your vehicle. These light-emitting diodes,
which operate using a concept similar to
that applied in conventional lasers, are offi-
cially designated as Class 1 light-emitting
diodes.
Do not remove the covers, and never
stare into the unfiltered light several
hours, as irritation of the retina could
result.<
Changing a wheel
Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as
standard. An immediate wheel change in
the event of a flat tire is therefore no longer
required.
You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular
symbol containing the letters RSC on the
side of the tire, refer to Run-flat tires on
page 167.
If you switch from summer to winter tires,
or vice versa, use only run-flat tires, as in
the event of a flat there is no spare tire
available. Your BMW center will be glad to
advise you.
Also refer to New wheels and tires,
page 168.
Car jacking points
The jacking points for the car jack are
located in the positions shown.
You can obtain a suitable car jack as
an accessory at your BMW center.<
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.
Your BMW center will be glad to advise in
all matters concerning the battery.
Charging battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via
the terminals in the engine compartment
with the engine switched off. For the con-
nections, refer to Jump-starting on
page 184.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of by
your BMW center or hand them in to a
recycling center. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and storage.
Always restrain the battery to prevent it
from tipping over during transport.<
Power cut
After a temporary power cut, e.g. with a
discharged battery, the features of some
equipment are limited and it has to be rein-
itialized. Individual settings are also lost
and have to be updated:
