sure which must be exerted by the pads to 
clean the rotors by brake applications is not 
reached.
If the brake rotors are corroded, they will tend to 
respond to braking with a pulsating effect which 
even extended application will fail to cure.
Interior and exterior mirrors with 
automatic dimming feature* 
Two photocells in the interior rearview mirror 
serve to control the interior and exterior mirrors
 
with automatic dimming feature. One photocell 
is positioned in the mirror's lens, see arrow, 
while the other is on the opposite side of the 
mirror.
To ensure perfect functioning, keep the photo-
cells clean and the area between the interior 
rearview mirror and the windshield free of any 
obstruction like stickers, etc.
When the vehicle is parked 
Condensation formed in the air conditioning 
system during operation exits under the vehi-
cle. Traces of condensed water on the ground 
underneath the vehicle are thus normal.
Mobile equipment in the vehicle
BMW advises against using mobile 
equipment, e.g. cellular phones, inside 
the vehicle without connecting them directly to 
an outside antenna. Otherwise, it cannot be 
ruled out that vehicle electronics and the mobile 
equipment interfere with one another. In addi-
tion, it is not ensured that the radio waves emit-
ted during transmission are directed outside of 
the vehicle interior.

Cargo loading 
Avoid overloading the vehicle so that the 
permissible carrying capacity of the tires 
is not exceeded. Otherwise, overheating and 
inner damage to the tires may result. The ulti-
mate result can assume the form of a sudden air 
loss.

Determining the maximum load
1.
Locate the following statement on your 
vehicle's placard
*
:
The combined weight of occupants 
and cargo should never exceed 
XXX kg or YYY lbs; otherwise damage to the 
vehicle and unstable driving conditions 
could result.
<
2.
Determine the combined weight of the 
driver and passenger that will be riding in 
your vehicle
3.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver 
and passenger from XXX kilograms or YYY 
pounds
4.
The resulting figure equals the available 
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the YYY amount equals 
551 lbs. and there will be two 150 lbs. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity is 
251 lbs.
551 lbs. minus 300 lbs. = 251 lbs.
5.
Determine the combined weight of luggage 
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That 
weight may not safely exceed the available 
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated 
in Step 4.
