Service interval displayRemaining distance to next
serviceThe displays shown in the illustration
appear for a few seconds when the
ignition key is in position 1 or higher or
after the engine is started.
The next service due appears with the
message OIL SERVICE or
INSPECTION, together with the dis-
tance remaining in miles – in kilometers
in Canada – before the next scheduled
service.
The computer bases its calculations of
the remaining distance on the preced-
ing driving style.
A flashing message and a "–" in front of
the number mean that the service inter-
val has already been exceeded by the
distance shown on the display. Please
contact your BMW center for an
appointment.
Check ControlDisplayWhen the ignition key is in position 2,
the following information and/or condi-
tions are indicated using symbols until
the conditions have been corrected.
1Check the low and high beams as
well as the parking lamps
2Door open
3Luggage compartment lid open
4Check tail or brake lamps
When you open the driver's door after
having turned the ignition key to posi-
tion 0, you will hear an acoustic signal
for a few seconds to remind you that
the lamps have not been switched off.

ComputerMode selectionWith the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, you can use the onboard com-
puter button BC in the turn signal lever
to retrieve information from the com-
puter for display in the instrument clus-
ter.
Every time you tap the onboard com-
puter button BC, the display changes to
the next function in sequence.
Order of the displays:
>Clock
>Outside temperature
>Average fuel consumption
>Range
>Average speed.
When the ignition key is turned to posi-
tion 1 or higher, the last active setting is
displayed.
Outside temperatureYou can change the units of measure,
7/6, for the outside temperature dis-
play by pressing the right-hand reset
button in the instrument cluster while
the temperature display is active. The
units of measure, 7/6, in the temper-
ature display of the automatic climate
control change automatically, refer to
page 104.Ice warningIf the outside temperature drops to
about 37.57/+36, then the computer
will automatically switch to a display of
the outside temperature. In addition, a
signal sounds as a warning and the dis-
play flashes for a brief period.

89
After giving an ice warning, the
display returns to the previous
setting.<
The ice warning does not alter the
fact that surface ice can form at
temperatures above 37.57/+36, on
bridges or shaded road surfaces, for
instance.<
Average fuel consumptionIf you press the onboard computer but-
ton BC in the turn signal lever for longer
while the average fuel consumption is
being displayed, a new consumption
value is calculated from that point in
time.
If you wish, you can have the aver-
age fuel consumption displayed in
a different unit of measure. based on the available fuel. The amount
of fuel remaining in the tank is mea-
sured, the estimated range is calcu-
lated taking into account the operating
conditions over the last 20 miles/30 km.
It is important that you refuel when
the cruising range falls below
approx. 35 miles/50 kilometers. Other-
wise, the engine cannot be guaranteed
to operate properly and damage may
result.<
Average speedAny time spent when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is shut off is
ignored for the calculation.
To reset the average speed: press the
onboard computer button BC in the
turn signal lever for approx. 2 seconds.

95 Lamps
Parking lamps/Low beamsParking lamps
The front, rear and side vehicle
lighting is switched on. You can
use the parking lamps to signal
the position of the vehicle when it is
parked. For lighting on one side for
parking as an additional feature, refer to
page 97.
Low beams
When the ignition is switched off
while the low beams are on, the
headlamps go out and only the
parking lamps remain on.
Follow me home lampsWhen you activate the headlamp
flasher after parking the vehicle with the
lamps turned off, the low-beam head-
lamps will come on for a short time.
You can also have this function
deactivated. having turned the ignition key to posi-
tion 0, you will hear an acoustic signal
for a few seconds to remind you that
the lamps have not been switched off.Daytime driving lamps*If you desire, the light switch can be left
in the second position: when the igni-
tion is switched off, the external lighting
is also switched off.
You can have the activation set-
tings for the daytime driving lamps
programmed on your vehicle.<
Automatic headlamp control*
When the switch is set to this
position the system automati-
cally activates and cancels the
low beams in response to changes in
ambient light, for example in tunnels, at
dusk, and when it is raining or snowing.
The low-beam headlamps remain
on, regardless of the ambient
light, when you switch on the fog
lamps.<
Automatic headlamp control can-
not serve as a substitute for the
driver's judgement in determining when
the vehicle lights should be switched
on. For example, the sensors are not
able to detect fog. To avoid safety risks,
you should respond to these kinds of
low-visibility situations by switching the
headlamps on manually.<
You can have the sensitivity of
your vehicle's automatic head-
lamp control adjusted.<

Integrated universal remote control*The conceptThe integrated universal remote control
takes the place of up to three different
handheld transmitters belonging to var-
ious radio remote control devices, such
as door openers and home alarm sys-
tems. The integrated universal remote
control recognizes and learns the signal
sent by each original control device.
The signal of an original control device
can be programmed into one of the
three memory buttons 1. Afterwards,
the programmed memory button 1 can
be used to operate the corresponding
device. The signal transmission is indi-
cated by the indicator lamp 2.
Before selling the vehicle, clear the
memory buttons 1, refer to page 112.
While programming is in progress
and before operating any pro-
grammed system by remote control
using the integrated universal remote
control, make sure that the area of
movement of the system in question is
clear of people, animals and inanimate
obstructions, in order to avoid possible
injury or damage. Also comply with the
safety precautions issued for the origi-
nal control device.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol is depicted on the
packaging or in the operating
instructions of the original con-
trol device, it is safe to assume that the
remote-controlled system is compatible
with the integrated universal remote
control.
