Light-emitting diodes LEDs
Control elements, display units and other inte-
rior equipment in your vehicle use a light-emit-
ting diode behind a cover as a light source. 
These light-emitting diodes are similar to con-
ventional lasers.
Do not remove the covers, and do not 
look directly at the unfiltered light for sev-
eral hours. Otherwise, it can lead to retinal irrita-
tion of the eye.

Changing a wheel
Run Flat tires
Your BMW is equipped with Run Flat tires. 
Therefore, the wheel no longer has to be 
changed immediately in the event of a loss in 
inflation pressure.
Run Flat tires are labeled on the sidewall with a 
circular symbol containing the letters RSC. 
Refer to page
BMW recommends that you consult your BMW 
center if you wish to replace the tires of your 
BMW, or change from summer to winter tires or 
vice versa. 
Your BMW center knows how to work with Run 
Flat tires and is equipped with the necessary 
special tools.
When mounting or replacing summer 
tires with winter tires, or vice versa, use 
only Run Flat tires since no spare wheel is avail-
able in the event of a flat.

Vehicle battery
Maintenance
The battery is completely maintenance-free. 
This means that the original electrolyte will nor-
mally last for the service life of the battery under 
moderate climatic conditions. Your BMW cen-
ter will be happy to advise you if you have any 
questions concerning the battery.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp lights up:
The battery is no longer being charged. 
The alternator drive belt is defective or 
there is a malfunction in the charging circuit of 
the alternator. Please contact the nearest BMW 
center.
If the drive belt is defective, pull over and 
switch off the engine immediately to pre-
vent overheating and serious engine damage. 
If the onboard supply voltage drops to a very 
low level, increased steering effort may also be 
necessary.
