Driving with a damaged tire
Depending on the cargo load, Run Flat 
tires allow you to continue driving at a 
maximum speed of 50  mph / 80 km/h. If 
there is a total loss of tire inflation pres-
sure, 0 psi/0 kPa, or obvious tire dam-
age, you can determine the distance 
you may continue driving based on the 
following values:
> With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage:
approx. 150 miles/250 km
> With a medium load:
2 persons, luggage compartment full; 
or 5 persons without luggage:
approx. 100 miles/150 km
> With a full load:
5 persons, luggage compartment full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km.
Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a 
speed of 50 mph / 80 km/h. Be 
aware that vehicle handling will be 
altered when there is a loss in inflation 
pressure. Anticipate, e.g., reduced 
tracking during braking, longer braking 
distances and changed steering char-
acteristics.
For safety reasons, BMW recommends 
not having damaged Run Flat tires 
repaired. In this case, consult your 
BMW center.

Battery
Maintenance
The battery is maintenance-free, that is, 
the original electrolyte will normally last 
for the service life of the battery under 
moderate climatic conditions.
Please consult your BMW center 
whenever you have any questions 
concerning the battery.
<
Charging the battery
When charging the battery in the vehi-
cle, leave the engine off at all times. 
Connect the charge cables to the termi-
nals in the engine compartment. For 
terminal locations, refer to Jump-start-
ing on page 
.
Disposal
Return used batteries to a recy-
cling point or your BMW center. 
Maintain the battery in an upright posi-
tion for transport and storage. Secure 
the battery against tilting during trans-
port.
<
Fuses
You will find the fuses and information 
on their respective allocation in the 
glove compartment behind a panel with 
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.
