Adapter for spare key
You will need the adapter to activate the ignition
and to start the vehicle with the spare key.
Take the adapter from the Onboard tool kit,
refer to page212.
Press lock button1, slide the cover open and
insert the spare key2 into the adapter. Close
the cover and insert the adapter into the ignition
lock.
Key Memory
The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW
individually according to your preferences. Key
Memory ensures that most of these settings are
stored for the remote control currently in use
without you having to do anything. When the
vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote
control is detected and the settings stored for it
are called up and carried out.
This means that your BMW will return to your
personal settings even if it has in the meantime
been driven by another person with his/her own
remote control and settings. The individual set-
tings are stored for a maximum of four remote
controls.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge mode appears automatically
once the fuel level falls into the reserve range.
The tanks still contains the following quantities
of fuel:
>750i/Li: approx. 2.6 gallons/10 liters.
>760i/Li: approx. 3.1 gallons/12 liters.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies, when you are driv-
ing in mountainous areas, for example, the indi-
cator may fluctuate slightly.
After reaching the reserve quantity, the
Info Display can no longer be hidden.
However, you can still display the remaining
range.<
Fuel tank capacity: approx. 23.2 gallons/
88 liters. You can find information on refueling
on page196.
Refuel well before the tank is empty. If
you drive down to the last drop, engine
functions are not assured and damage can
occur.<
Technology for comfort, convenience and safety
94 A message like this is displayed in the following
situations:
>When a malfunction is occurring.
Have the system checked.
>When a wheel without TPM electronics is
mounted.
>When TPM is experiencing temporary inter-
ference from other systems or devices that
use the same radio frequency.
Declaration according to NHTSA/
FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring
Systems
Each tire, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires. As an added safety fea-
ture, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system TPMS that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure indicator lamp when
one or more of your tires are significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure indicator lamp comes on, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability. Please note that the
TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if underin-
flation has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure indicator
lamp.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure indicator lamp. When
the system detects a malfunction, the indicator
lamp will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously lit. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle startups as long as the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction indicator lamp after replac-
ing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.

Wheels with electronics for
TPM Tire Pressure Monitor*
When mounting new tires or changing over
from summer to winter tires, or vice versa, only
use wheels with TPM electronics; otherwise the
Tire Pressure Monitor may not be able to detect
a flat tire, refer to page91. Your BMW center
will be glad to advise you.
Recommended tire sizes and brands
BMW recommends particular tire brands for
each tire size. You will recognize them by the
clearly visible BMW identification on the tire
sidewall.
With proper use, these tires meet the highest
standards for safety and handling characteris-
tics.
Run-flat tires
When installing new tires or when changing
from summer tires to winter tires or vice versa,
for your own safety, use run-flat tires. No spare
wheel is provided in the event of a flat. Your
BMW center will be glad to advise you.
For safety reasons, BMW recommends
that you not have damaged run-flat tires
repaired; they should be replaced.<
Special characteristics of winter tires
BMW recommends winter tires for use in cold
winter driving conditions. Although so-called
all-season M+S tires provide better winter trac-
tion than summer tires, they generally fail to
provide the same levels of cold-weather perfor-
mance as winter tires.
Observing speed ratings
Never exceed the maximum speed for
which the winter tires are rated.<
Storage
Always store wheels or tires in a cool, dry place
with as little exposure to light as possible.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Wheel changing between axles
BMW does not recommend changing the front
wheels to the rear or vice versa as this can dam-
age handling characteristics.
Snow chains*
Only certain fine-link snow chains are tested,
classified as road-safe, and recommended by
BMW. Consult your BMW center for more infor-
mation. Use on winter tires is only permissible in
pairs on the rear wheels. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions when installing snow
chains. Do not exceed a vehicle speed of
30 mph/50 km/h with the chains mounted.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
mounting snow chains. When you are
driving with snow chains, it can be beneficial to
activate DTC briefly, refer to page88.<
