In case of a defect, please go to a BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center or a workshop that
works according to BMW repair procedures
with correspondingly trained personnel.
Changing wheels
Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as
standard. As a result, it is not necessary to
change the wheel immediately in the case of air
loss in the event of a breakdown.
To continue driving with a damaged tire:
> With Flat Tire Monitor, refer to Indication of
a flat tire page 101
> With Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to Mes-
sage with low tire inflation pressure
page 103
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, page 256.
When mounting new tires, or changing from
summer to winter tires or vice versa, use run-flat
tires for your own safety. No spare tire is avail-
able in case of a flat tire. Your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center will be happy to advise
you. Also refer to New wheels and tires,
page 256.
BMW X6: do not rotate the front wheels to
the rear or vice versa, as otherwise the
handling characteristic s will be negatively
affected. <
Suitable tools for changing tires are avail-
able as accessories at your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center. <
Jacking points for vehicle jack
The jacking points for the vehicle jack are
located in the positions shown.

Safety precautions in the event of a flat

far as possible from passi
ng traffic and on solid
ground. Switch on the ha zard warning flashers.
Set the parking brake and engage transmission
position P.
Have all vehicle occupants get out of the vehicle
and ensure that they remain outside the imme-
diate area in a safe place, such as behind a
guardrail.
If a warning triangle
* or portable hazard warning
lamp
* is required, set it up on the roadside at an
appropriate distance from the rear of the vehi-
cle. Comply with all safe ty guidelines and regu-
lations.
Change the wheel only on a level, firm surface
which is not slippery. Th e vehicle or the jack
could slip to the side if you attempt to raise the
vehicle on a soft or slippery surface such as
snow, ice, tiles, etc.
Position the jack on a firm support surface.
Do not use a wooden block or similar object as a
support base for the jack, as this would prevent
it from extending to its full support height and
reduce its load-carrying capacity.
To avoid serious or fata l injury: never lie under
the vehicle, and never start the engine while it is
supported by the jack. <
What you will need
To avoid rattling noises later on, note the posi-
tions of the tools before removing them, then
return them to their in itial positions after com-
pleting work.
The tools are located in the mount under the
floor panel flap.

Removing compact wheel
The compact wheel is lo cated in the cargo bay
under the floor panel.
1. Remove the tool mount.
2. Unscrew the wing nut 1 .
3. Remove the washer 2 laterally.
4. Remove the compact wheel.
Preparing wheel change
1.Observe the safety precautions above.
2. Loosen the lug bolts a half turn.
Jacking up vehicle
1.Position the vehicle jack at the jacking point
closest to the wheel so that the entire sur-
face of the jack base rests on the ground
perpendicularly beneat h the jacking point.
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not attempt
to raise another vehicle model with it or to
raise any load of any kind. To do so could
cause accidents and personal injury. <
