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.

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.
