backward adjustment of the seat to
ensure that the safety belt still fits firmly
against your body. If you do not do this, the
protection provided by the safety belt may
be reduced.<

ious functions after first selecting them with

Adjusting exterior mirrors
14-way adjustment
2Selecting mirror for adjustment To prevent the exterior mirrors on this
vehicle from being damaged, always
fold them in by hand before entering an
automatic car wash.<
You can also adjust the mirrors manually by
pressing against the outer edges of their
lenses.
Storing the mirror positions, refer to Seat,
mirror and steering wheel memory on
page55.
The mirror on the passenger's side
features a lens with a more convex
surface than the mirror installed on the
driver's side. When estimating the distance
between yourself and other traffic, bear in
mind that the objects reflected in the mirror
are closer than they appear. This means
that estimations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as precise.<
Self-defrosting mirrors
The mirrors are automatically heated when-
ever the ignition is switched on.
Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature*
These mirrors dim steplessly during for-
ward driving when struck by light. There are
two photocells located in the interior rear-
view mirror for this purpose. One is inte-
grated within the mirror's lens, refer to
arrow, while the other is located at an offset
position on the rear of the mirror housing.
For trouble-free operation, keep the photo-
cells clean and do not cover the area
between the interior rearview mirror and
the windshield. Do not attach any kind of
stickers on the windshield in front of the
mirror, either.

54 The mirrors automatically revert to their
clear, undimmed mode whenever you

high up and far forward as possible to ease driver entry and exit before then returning
to the standard position or stored memory
setting.

driver's door and the ignition switch.

The steering wheel heater operates when
the ignition is on.
Press the button to activate or deactivate
this system.
The indicator lamp within the button lights
up when the steering wheel heater is in
operation.

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
happy to advise you on all questions con-
cerning the battery.
Charging 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 page210.
Battery switch
Before storing the vehicle for an extended
period of several weeks or more, slide the
battery switch located behind the trim
panel on the right side of the luggage com-
partment to OFF. This reduces the current
flow from the battery for the period during
which the vehicle remains parked. A mes-
sage appears in the Check Control. Please
take note of the supplementary information
provided on the Control Display.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of follow-
ing replacement at your BMW center
or bring them to a collection point. Maintain
the battery in an upright position for trans-
port and storage. Always secure the battery
to prevent it from tipping over during trans-
port.<
Power failure
Following a temporary power failure, e.g. in
the case of a flat battery, some equipment
is subject to restricted use and must be
reinitialized. Individual settings are also lost
and must be updated again:
>Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory
The positions must be stored again,
refer to page55
>Time and date
Must be updated again, refer to
page90
>Radio
Stations must be stored again, refer to
page 154
>Navigation system
The operability must be waited for, refer
to page130.
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse,
and do not replace a defective fuse
with a substitute of another color or amper-
age rating, as this could lead to a circuit
overload, ultimately resulting in a fire in the
vehicle.<
Spare fuses are located on the fuse strip in
the glove compartment; plastic tweezers
can be found at the fuse holder in the lug-
gage compartment.
In glove compartment
Press the tab on the cover to the front, then
fold up the cover.
