Safety tires are only possible in 
conjunction with Tire Pressure 

Monitor (RDC) or Flat Tire Monitor.

<

If the defective wheel cannot be seen 
as such immediately from the outside, 
check the tire inflation pressure at all 
four wheels.

Have the tires changed by your 
BMW center. For safety reasons, 

do not have a safety tire repaired. Your 
BMW center has the information 
needed for working with safety tires 
and is equipped with the necessary 
special tools.

If appropriate, please consult your 
BMW center to reequip your 

vehicle from summer to winter tires – or 
vice versa.

The battery is absolutely maintenance-
free, that is, the original electrolyte will 
normally last for the service life of the 
battery under moderate climatic condi-
tions.

Please consult your BMW center 
whenever you have any questions 

concerning the battery. Since the battery 
is absolutely maintenance-free, the 
following is for your information only.

<

Never disconnect the battery 
when the engine is running; the 

ensuing voltage surge would seriously 
damage the vehicle's onboard elec-
tronic systems.

<

When charging the battery in the 
vehicle, leave the engine off at all times. 
Connect the charge cables to the termi-
nals in the engine compartment. 
Terminal locations, refer to Jump-
starting on page 

. 

Return used batteries to a recycling 
point or your BMW center. Maintain 

the battery in an upright position for 
transport and storage. Secure the 
battery against tilting during transport.

<

The fuses are located in the glove 
compartment behind a cover secured 
by two snap clips.

Do not attempt to repair a blown 
fuse or replace it with a fuse 

having a different color or amperage 
rating. To do this could cause a fire in 
the vehicle resulting from a circuit over-
load.
