according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel.
Changing wheels
Your BMW is equipped with Run-Flat Tires as 
standard. This removes the need to change a 
wheel immediately in the event of a puncture.
The symbol identifying Run-Flat Tires is a circle 
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to 
Run-Flat Tires, page196.
When mounting new tires or changing over 
from summer to winter tires and vice versa, 
mount Run-Flat Tires for your own safety. In the 
event of a flat, moreover, no spare wheel is 
available. Your BMW Center will be glad to 
advise you. Refer also to New wheels and tires, 
page196.
The tools for changing wheels are avail-
able as optional accessories from your 
BMW Center.<
Jack mounting points
The jacking points are at the positions shown in 
the illustration.

Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, the 
electrolyte will last for the life of the battery 
when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli-
mate. Your BMW Center will be glad to advise in 
all matters concerning the battery.
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 page212.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of by your 
BMW Center or hand them in to a recy-
cling center. Maintain the battery in an upright 
position for transport and storage. Always 
secure the battery against tipping over during 
transport.<
Power failure
After a temporary power loss, the functioning of 
some equipment may be limited and require ini-
tialization. Individual settings may likewise have 
been lost and will have to be reprogrammed:

page77.

In some cases, stations may have to be 
stored again, refer to page150.

Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and 
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-

erwise this could lead to a circuit overload, ulti-
mately resulting in a fire in the vehicle.<
