The California Air Resources Board and BMW
of North America (BMW NA) are pleased to
explain the emission control system warranty
on your 2004 SAV. In California, new motor
vehicles must be designed, built and equipped
to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog
standards. BMW NA must warrant the
emission control system on your SAV for the
periods of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper mainte-
nance of your SAV.
Your emission control system may include
parts such as the fuel injection system, the
ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine
computer. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission-related
assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BMW
NA will repair your SAV at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
– For 3 years or 50,000 miles whichever

defective, the part will be repaired or replaced
by BMW NA. This is your shor t-term emission
control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.

the performance of the required mainte-
nance listed in your Owner’s Manual. BMW
NA recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your SAV, but
BMW NA cannot deny warranty solely for
the lack of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
– You are responsible for presenting your
SAV to an authorized BMW SAV center as
soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reason-
able amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
