2017 BMW X5M Owners Manual

WARNING
Tires can become damaged by driving
over obstacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tire
cross-section. The smaller the tire cross-secj
tion, the higher the risk of tire damage. There
is a danger of accidents and property damage. If possible, drive around obstacles, or drive
over them slowly and carefully.'

Maximum
speed
of
winter
tiresIf the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires, then attach a corresponding information label/
sticker in the field of view. The label is available from a dealerss service center or another qualij
fied service center or repair shop.
With mounted winter tires, observe and adhere
to the permissible maximum speed.
Rotating
wheels
between
axles The manufacturer of your vehicle advisesagainst switching wheels between the front
and rear axles. This can impair the handling
characteristics.
Rotating the tires between the axes is not perj missible on vehicles with different tire sizes or
rim sizes on the front and rear axles.
Storage
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and dark place.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation presj
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.

ground, for example snow, ice, tiles, etc.,
the vehicle or the vehicle jack may slip
away sideways.'yDo not place wood blocks or similar items under the vehicle jack; otherwise, it cannot
reach its carrying capacity because of the
restricted height.'yIf the vehicle is raised, do not lie under the vehicle and do not start the engine, or else
there is a danger to life.
Mobility
System
Concept
With the Mobility System, minor tire damage can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the inside.
The compressor can be used to check the tire inflation pressure.
General
information
'yFollow the instructions on using the Mobij lity System found on the compressor and
sealant container.'yUse of the Mobility System may be ineffecj
tive if the tire puncture measures approx.
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.'yContact a dealerss service center or anj other qualified service center or repair
shop if the tire cannot be made drivable.'yIf possible, do not remove foreign bodies that have penetrated the tire.'yPull the speed limit sticker off the sealant
container and apply it to the steering
wheel.'yThe use of a sealant can damage the TPM wheel electronics. In this case, have theelectronics checked and replaced at the
next opportunity.Seite 210MobilityWheels

DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventilaj
tion is insufficient, harmful exhaust gases can
enter into the vehicle. The exhaust gases conj tain pollutants which are colorless and odorj
less. In enclosed areas, exhaust gases can also
accumulate outside of the vehicle. There is
danger to life. Keep the exhaust pipe free and
ensure sufficient ventilation.'

Stowing
the
Mobility
System
1.Unscrew the filling hose of the sealant conj
tainer from the wheel.2.Unscrew the connection hose of the comj pressor from the sealant container.3.Connect the filling hose of the sealant conj
tainer previously connected to the tire
valve with the available connector on the
sealant container.
This prevents leftover sealant from escapj
ing from the container.4.Wrap the empty sealant container in suitaj ble material to avoid dirtying the cargoarea.5.Stow the Mobility System back in the vehijcle.
Distributing
the
sealant
Immediately drive approx. 5 miles/10 km to enjsure that the sealant is evenly distributed in thetire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. If possible, do not drive at speeds less than
12 mph/20 km/h.
Correcting
the
tire
inflation
pressure
1.Stop at a suitable location.2.Screw the connection hose of the comj pressor directly onto the tire valve stem.3.Insert the connector into the power socket
inside the vehicle.4.Correct the tire inflation pressure to
2.5 bar.'yIncrease pressure: with the ignition
turned on or the engine running, switch
on the compressor.'yTo reduce the pressure: press the butj ton on the compressor.Continuing
the
trip
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor.
Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor.
Replace the nonworking tire and the sealant
container of the Mobility System promptly.
Snow
chains
Fine-link
snow
chains
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of
fine-link snow chains have been tested by the
manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended as road-safe and suitable.
Information regarding suitable snow chains is
available from a dealerss service center or anj other qualified service center or repair shop.
Use WARNING
With the mounting of snow chains on unj
suitable tires, the snow chains can come into
contact with vehicle parts. There is a risk of acj
cidents or risk of property damage. Only mount
snow chains on tires that are designated by
their manufacturer as suitable for the use of
snow chains.'

Do not initialize the Tire Pressure Monitor aftermounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.
When driving with snow chains, if needed,
briefly activate M Dynamic Mode.
Maximum
speed
with
snow
chains
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h when using snow chains.
Changing
wheels/tires General
information
When tire sealants are used, an immediate
wheel change when there is a loss of tire inflaj
tion pressure in the event of a flat tire is not alj ways necessary.
If needed, the tools for changing wheels are available as accessories from a dealerss service
center or another qualified service center or rej pair shop.
Safety
information WARNING
The vehicle jack is provided by the vehij
cle manufacturer for changing wheels in the event of a flat tire. The vehicle jack is not dej
signed for frequent use, for instance for changj
ing from summer to winter tires. Using the vej hicle jack frequently may cause it to jam or
become damaged. There is a risk of injury and
risk of damage to property. Only use the vehij cle jack to change an emergency wheel or aspare tire in the event of a flat tire.'

On
a
level
surface
Place chocks or other suitable objects, for exjample a rock, in front of and behind the wheel
that is diagonally opposite to the wheel that you wish to change.
On
a
slight
downhill
gradient
If you need to change a wheel on a slight downhill grade, place chocks and other suitajble objects, for instance a rock, under the
wheels of both the front and rear axles against
the rolling direction.
Preparing
the
vehicle
'yChange the wheel as far away as possible
from passing traffic.'yPark the vehicle on solid, non-slip and level ground.'ySwitch on the hazard warning system.'ySet the parking brake.'yEngage a gear or selector lever position P.'yAs soon as permitted by the traffic flow,have all vehicle occupants get out of the
