In the event of complete tire pressure loss, 
0 psi/0 kilopascal, you can estimate the 
possible distance for continued driving on 
the basis of the following guidelines:
>
With a light load:
1 person without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km
>
With a medium load:
1 person, cargo bay full,
or
2 persons without luggage:
approx. 90 miles/150 km
>
With a full load:
2 persons, cargo bay full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km.
Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a speed 
of 50 mph/80 km/h. Driving characteris-
tics change if there is a loss of tire pressure. 
This includes reduced tracking stability in brak-
ing, extended braking distance and altered nat-
ural steering characteristics.
If unusual vibration or loud noises occur during 
the journey, this may be an indication that the 
damaged tire has finally failed. Reduce your 
speed and pull over to the side of the road at the 
earliest opportunity. Otherwise, parts of the tire 
could come loose and cause an accident. Do 
not continue driving. Contact a BMW Center.

Electric Power Steering EPS
The concept
The electric power steering is a direct, sporting 
steering system. A special combination of elec-
tric motor and transmission helps you steer 
more easily. As your speed increases, steering 
power assistance is reduced.
Malfunction
The indicator lamp stays lit:
The system is malfunctioning or defec-
tive.
Steering remains operational.
Have the system checked as soon as possible.
Brake Force Display
The brake lamps light up in two stages, 
depending on how sharply you apply the 
brakes.
>
Normal braking:
The brake lamps and the center brake lamp 
light up.
>
Sharp braking:
A larger portion of the brake lamps lights up.
Airbags 
The following airbags are located under the 
marked covers:
Front airbags
Side airbags
Knee airbags
Protective action
Comply with the instructions on page
or the occupants' personal safety will be 
diminished.
<
The front airbags help protect the driver and 
passenger in the event of a frontal impact in 
which safety belts alone cannot provide suffi-
cient protection. When needed, the side airbags
