Changing wheels
Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as a 
standard feature. An immediate wheel change 
in the event of a flat tire is therefore no longer 
required.
To continue driving with a damaged tire:
>With Flat Tire Monitor, refer to Indication of 
a flat tire, page90
>With Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to Mes-
sage with low tire inflation pressure, 
page92
You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular 
symbol containing the letters RSC on the side 
of the tire, refer to Run-flat tires on page214.
If you have new tires mounted or switch from 
summer to winter tires, or vice versa, use run-
flat tires because no spare tire is provided in 
case of a flat. Your BMW center will be glad to 
advise you.
Also refer to New wheels and tires, page214.
The suitable tools for changing tires are 
available as accessories from your BMW 
center.<
Car jacking points
The jacking points for the car jack are located in 
the positions shown.
Vehicle battery
Maintenance
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e., 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 battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the 
terminals in the engine compartment with the 
engine switched off. For the connections, refer 
to Jump starting on page228.
Disposal
After replacement, have old batteries dis-
posed of by your BMW center or deposit 
them at a recycling center. Maintain the battery 
in an upright position for transport and storage. 
Always secure the battery to prevent it from tip-
ping over during transport.<
