12 Volt Battery Care*
If your car is driven only for short distances of less
than 10 miles over a prolonged period of time,
without an occasional drive at highway speeds, the
engine’s charging system will not maintain the
battery. Insufficient use of the vehicle could result
in short term starting problems and, in the long
term, could damage the battery.

Corrosion Protection
Extensive corrosion protection measures
implemented by BMW now make it possible to
offer a 12-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion
warranty against rust perforation on your vehicle
provided that the vehicle is properly maintained.
Information on proper maintenance is available in
this Booklet and your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
this Booklet and your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
The major degree of corrosion protection is due
to the electrophoretic dip painting process which
cathodically deposits paint particles on all body
parts, attracting paint particles into the minutest
cavities or seams. Body parts are designed to
provide optimum corrosion protection.

remove mud, chemical sediments and other
deposits. If those materials are not removed,
corrosion (rust) will occur on metal components.
