Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Breaking-in Moving parts need time to adjust to one another. To ensure that your vehicle continues to provide optimized economy of operation throughout an extended service life, we request that you devote careful attention to the following section. Engine and differential Always obey all official speed limits. Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km Drive at changing engine and driving speeds, however do not exceed 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/ 160 km/h.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as the tread depth of the tires decreases, also refer to Minimum tire tread on page 205. Driving through water Braking safely Your BMW is equipped with ABS as a standard feature. In situations that require it, it is best to brake with full force. Since the vehicle maintains steering responsiveness, you can still avoid possible obstacles with a minimum of steering effort.
Things to remember when driving tent pressure on the brake pedal can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.< The braking effect of the engine can be further increased by downshifting, if necessary all the way down into first gear. This strategy helps you avoid placing excessive loads on the brake system. For information on downshifting in the manual mode of the automatic transmission, refer to page 64.
The permissible load is the total of the weight of occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage can be transported. Stowing cargo > Place heavy cargo as far forward and as low as possible, placing it directly behind the bulkhead behind the rear seats. > Cover sharp edges and corners. Position and secure the cargo as described above, so that it cannot endanger the car's occupants, for example if sudden braking or evasive maneuvers are necessary.
