the vehicle is parked. A closed convertible
top protects it from weather-related dam‐
age and to some extent from theft.▷Event when the convertible top is closed,
only store valuables in the locked cargo area.▷At higher speeds, vacuum produced in the
passenger compartment cause the
convertible top to begin to flatten. Increase
the amount of air via the automatic climate
control so that no vacuum is produced in the
vehicle.

is also described that is not available in a vehicle,
e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐
ment or country variant. This also applies for

BMW Maintenance System
The maintenance system directs you to re‐
quired maintenance measures and thereby sup‐
ports you in maintaining road safety and the op‐
erational reliability of the vehicle.
Condition Based Service CBS
Sensors and special algorithms take into ac‐
count the driving conditions of your vehicle.
Based on this, Condition Based Service deter‐
mines the maintenance requirements.
The system makes it possible to adapt the
amount of maintenance you need to your user
profile.
Details on the service requirements, refer to
page 84, can be displayed on the Control Dis‐
play.
Service data in the remote control
Information on the required maintenance is con‐
tinuously stored in the remote control. Your
service center will read out this data and suggest
the right array of service procedures for your ve‐
hicle.
Therefore, hand your service specialist the re‐
mote control that you used most recently.Storage periods
Storage periods during which the vehicle bat‐
tery was disconnected are not taken into ac‐
count.
If this occurs, have a service center update the
time-dependent maintenance procedures,
such as checking brake fluid and, if necessary,
changing the engine oil and the microfilter/acti‐
vated-charcoal filter.
