Laws and regulations
California Proposition 65 
warning
California laws require us to state the fol-
lowing warning:
Engine exhaust and a wide variety of 
automobile components and parts, 
including components found in the interior 
furnishings in a vehicle, contain or emit 
chemicals known to the State of California 
to cause cancer and birth defects and 
reproductive harm. In addition, certain flu-
ids contained in vehicles and certain prod-
ucts of component wear contain or emit 
chemicals known to the State of CA to 
cause cancer and birth defects or other 
reproductive harm. Battery posts, terminals 
and related accessories contain lead and 
lead compounds. Wash your hands after 
handling. Used engine oil contains chemi-
cals that have caused cancer in laboratory 
animals. Always protect your skin by wash-
ing thoroughly with soap and water.

OBD interface socket 
The Onboard Diagnostic OBD interface 
socket is located on the left of the driver's 
side under the instrument panel and under 
a cover.
The cover has the letters OBD on it.
The purpose of the OBD system is to 
ensure proper operation of the emission 
control system for the vehicle's lifetime. 
The system monitors emission-related 
components and system for deterioration 
and malfunction.
If the Service Engine Soon indicator 
lamp comes on either continuously 
or intermittently, this indicates a 
fault in the emissions-related electronic 
systems. Although the vehicle remains 
operational, you should have the systems 
checked by your BMW center at the earli-
est possible opportunity.
The illuminated indicator informs you of the 
need for service, not that you need to stop 
the vehicle. However, the systems should 
be checked by your BMW center at the 
next opportunity.
If the indicator blinks or flashes, this indi-
cates a high level of engine misfire. Reduce 
speed and contact the nearest BMW center 
immediately. Severe engine misfiring over 
even a short period of time can seriously 
damage emission control system compo-
nents, especially the catalytic converter.

for Canadian models.
If the gas cap is not on tight enough, 
the OBD system can detect leaking 
vapor and the indicator will light up. If the 
gas cap is then tightened, the indicator will 
usually go out after a short period of time.
