Mirrors Steering wheel Interior rearview mirror with automatic dimming feature* Setting While the vehicle is being driven forward, this mirror dims light through an infinitely variable range depending on the light's incidence. Two photocells in the interior rearview mirror serve this purpose. One is positioned in the mirror, while the other is slightly offset on the opposite side of the mirror.
Passenger safety systems Airbags 3 Side airbags on the driver and passenger sides – front and rear* Protective effect The front airbags supplement the threepoint safety belts by providing additional protection in the event of a severe frontal collision in which the protection afforded by the belts alone may no longer be sufficient. The head and side airbags help provide protection in the event of a collision from the side. The respective side airbag helps support the seat occupant's upper body.
Airbags All vehicle occupants should always sit upright and be properly restrained – infants and small children in appropriate child-restraint systems; larger children and adults using the safety belts. Never let an occupant's head rest near or on a side airbag because the inflating airbag could cause a serious or fatal injury. Please note that the word Airbag imprinted on the door trim panel indicates the airbag's location.
Airbags This is the right way a larger child should sit wearing the seat belt when rear side airbags are provided. Maintenance Controls If there is a system malfunction, there is a risk that the airbags will not be triggered within their normal response range, even if the level of impact would normally have triggered them. Have your BMW center inspect the airbag system immediately.
Transporting children safely Commercially available child-restraint systems are designed to be secured with a lap belt or with the lap belt portion of a combination lap/shoulder belt. Improperly or inadequately installed restraint systems can increase the risk of injury to children. Always read and follow the instructions that come with the system.
Transporting children safely All rear seating positions in your vehicle meet the recommendations of SAE J1819, an industry-recommended practice for securing child-restraint systems in motor vehicles. Overview Controls All of the rear belt retractors and the front passenger's safety belt can be locked for mounting and securing childrestraint systems. A label with the appropriate instructions for this is located in the immediate vicinity of the buckle latch of each safety belt.
Transporting children safely The belt cannot be extracted further. Always observe the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child-restraint system. To unlock the safety belt Release the safety belt, remove the child seat and retract the safety belt to its end position on the belt retractor.

Special operating instructions 112 Break-in procedures To ensure that your vehicle provides maximum economy throughout a long service life, we request that you comply with the following information. Engine and differential The first 1,250 miles/2,000 km: Drive at varying engine and road speeds, but do not exceed an engine speed of 4,500 rpm or a road speed of 100 mph / 160 km/h. Always obey all official speed limits.
General driving notes Parking the vehicle Condensation forms in the air conditioner system during operation, which then exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water on the ground underneath the vehicle are thus normal. The risk of hydroplaning increases as the tread depth of the tires decreases, refer also to Tire tread on page 120. Driving through water Do not drive through water on the road if it is deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only at walking speed.
General driving notes Inclines: To prevent overheating and, as a result, diminished braking effectiveness, drive down long or steep downhill grades in a gear which requires the least braking. Otherwise, even light but consistent pedal pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.< The braking power of the engine can be further enhanced by downshifting the automatic transmission in manual mode, if necessary, into first gear.
Antilock Brake System (ABS) Pulsation at the brake pedal combined with sounds from the hydraulic circuits indicates to the driver that ABS is in its active mode. Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) DBC is included in the DSC, refer to page 81. The system responds to sudden, highintensity applications of force to the brake pedal by automatically braking the vehicle with maximum boost to achieve the shortest-possible braking distances during 'panic stops'. This system exploits all the benefits of ABS.
Wheels and tires 116 Tire inflation pressure Information for your safety It is not merely the tire's service life, but also driving safety and driving comfort that greatly depend on the condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire inflation pressure. Check tire inflation pressures on a regular basis and correct them, if necessary, including the compact wheel: at least twice a month and before beginning a longer trip.

Tire code Knowing the tire code on the tire sidewall makes it easier to correctly choose and identify your tires. Tire size E.g. 205/60 R 15 91 W 205 = Nominal width in mm DOT code: Traction AA A B C E.g. DOT xxxx xxx 1004 Temperature A B C xxxx = Manufacturer's code for tire brand All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.< Due to low-profile tires, please note that wheels, tires and suspension parts are more susceptible to road hazard and consequential damages.
Tire condition Run Flat tires* TWI, Tread Wear Indicator. At a tread depth of 1/16 in/1.6 mm, the indicators signal that the legally permissible wear limit has been reached. Tire tread Tread depth should not be allowed to go below 1/8 in/3 mm, even though European legislation, for example, requires a mimimum tread depth of only 1/16 in/1.6 mm. Below 1/8 in/3 mm tread depth, there is a great risk of hydroplaning, even at relatively moderate speeds and with only small amounts of water on the road.
Run Flat tires* New wheels and tires If there is a total loss of tire inflation pressure, 0 psi/0 kPa, or obvious tire damage, you can determine the distance you may continue driving based on the following values: Have new wheels and tires mounted only by a skilled professional. Work that is improperly carried out could result in consequential damage and pose safety hazards.
