Driving tips Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Vehicle equipment In this chapter, all production, country, and optional equipment that is offered in the model range is described. As a result, some equipment described may not be available in a particular vehicle, for example due to the options or national-market version selected. This also applies to safety related functions and systems. Break-in period Moving parts need breaking-in time to adjust to each other.
Things to remember when driving Check tire inflation pressure regularly Check the tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before embarking on a long journey, and correct it if necessary. Low tire inflation pressure causes higher rolling resistance and thus increases fuel consumption and tire wear. Set off immediately Do not let the engine warm up while the car is still standing, but set off immediately at moderate engine speed.
Driving tips Things to remember when driving Hot exhaust system Use the parking brake on inclines In all vehicles, extremely high temperatures are generated in the exhaust system. Do not remove the heat shields installed adjacent to various sections of the exhaust system, and never apply undercoating to them. When driving, standing at idle and while parking, take care to avoid possible contact between the hot exhaust system and any highly flammable materials such as hay, leaves, grass, etc.
Things to remember when driving Driving tips Hills When the vehicle is parked To prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system, drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Even light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.< Condensation forms while the automatic climate control is in operation, and then exits under the vehicle.
Driving tips Things to remember when driving 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150-lbs. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.: 1,400 lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 650 lbs. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
Things to remember when driving Securing cargo Coupe Driving tips weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 287; otherwise, excessive loads can pose a safety hazard and may also place you in violation of traffic safety laws. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car, since they could be thrown around, for example as a result of heavy braking, sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occupants.
Driving tips Things to remember when driving The roof load must be distributed uniformly and should not be too large in area. Heavy items should always be placed at the bottom. Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for tilting the glass roof, and that objects do not project into the opening path of the trunk lid. Fasten roof-mounted cargo correctly and securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off during the trip. Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers.

Wheels and tires Tire identification marks Knowledge of the labeling on the side of the tire makes it easier to identify and choose the right tires. Tire size e.g. 225/45 R 17 91 V Mobility Uniform Tire Quality Grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
Mobility Wheels and tires Temperature Minimum tread depth The temperature grades are A, the highest, B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
Wheels and tires Mobility In these cases, reduce speed immediately and have wheels and tires thoroughly checked. To do so, drive carefully to the nearest BMW center or tire dealer. If necessary, have the vehicle towed there. Otherwise, tire damage can pose a lethal hazard to vehicle occupants and other road users.< turing tolerances mean that even wheels and tires with identical official size ratings could actually have different dimensions, which could lead to body contact and thus to severe accidents.
Mobility Wheels and tires When properly used, these tires meet the highest standards in terms of safety and handling characteristics. Run-flat tires Special characteristics of winter tires BMW recommends winter tires for driving on winter roads or at temperatures below +457/ +76. Although all-season M+S tires provide better winter traction than summer tires, they generally fail to provide the same levels of coldweather performance as winter tires.
