Replacing components

234

Check and correct the tire inflation pressure
at the earliest opportunity.

Protect valve stems with valve screw
caps against dirt and contamination.

Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source of
gradual air loss.

Initialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page

, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor,

refer to page

Replace the damaged tire as soon as possi-
ble and have the new wheel/tire balanced.

Driving with compact wheel

Drive reservedly and do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h.
The driving characteristics change, for example
reduced track stability on braking, extended
braking distance, and altered self-steering
characteristics in the limit range. In conjunction
with winter tires, these characteristics are more
pronounced.

Only one compact wheel may be
mounted. You should re-equip with

wheels and tires of the original size as quickly as
possible.

Vehicle battery

Battery care

The battery is 100% maintenance-free, i.e., the
electrolyte will last for the life of the battery
when the vehicle is operated in a temperate cli-
mate. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center
will be glad to advise in all matters concerning
the battery.

Charging battery

Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the
terminals in the engine compartment with the
engine off. Connections, refer to Jump starting
on page

Disposal

Have old batteries disposed of following
replacement at your BMW Sports Activity

Vehicle Center or bring them to a collection
point. Maintain the battery in an upright position
for transport and storage. Always restrain the
battery to prevent it from tipping over during
transport.

Power failure

After a temporary power loss, the functioning of
some equipment may be limited and require
reinitialization. Individual settings are also lost
and must be updated:

Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory
The positions must be stored again, refer to

Fuses

Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-

stitute of another color or amperage rating, as
this could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately
resulting in a fire in the vehicle.

bay.
