Driving60Starting the engine Do not allow the engine to run in enclosed spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless, but highly toxic gas. Breathing the exhaust gases poses an extreme health risk, and can lead to unconsciousness and death.Never leave the vehicle parked with the engine running, as it would then pose a potential safety hazard.<1. Insert the remote control unit all the way into the ignition lock 2. Depress the brake pedal 3. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal and briefly press the start/stop button. You can release the brake pedal as soon as the engine starts. Your BMW is equipped with the convenience starting feature. After depressing the brake pedal, all you need to do is briefly press the start/stop button. The system responds by automatically engaging the starter and allowing it to run until the engine starts, after which it then disengages automatically. The automatic starting mode will not operate or will be canceled if the battery voltage is low. It is then possible to start the engine using electrical power from an outside source, refer to page 193.The engine starts immediately in response to pressure on the button at speeds of roughly 3 mph/5 km/h and above. It is not necessary to depress the brake pedal.< Do not allow the engine to warm up by leaving it running while the vehicle remains stationary. Instead, begin to drive immedi-ately at a moderate engine speed. Under the following conditions you should press the accelerator pedal halfway down when starting: >If the engine fails to start on the first attempt, for instance, if it is very hot or cold >During a cold start at high altitudes, from approx. 3281 ft/1000 m, at very low temperatures, from approx. +5 7/–15 6. Refrain from starting the vehicle repeatedly at brief intervals, and avoid an excessive number of starting attempts if the vehicle fails to start; repeated activation of the starter over an extended period would allow unburned or only partially combusted fuel to enter the catalytic converter, where it can cause overheating and damage to the unit.<Switching off the engineWith the vehicle stationary, briefly press the start/stop button. This also activates the radio mode. Should exceptional circumstances render it necessary for you to switch off the engine while the vehicle is moving, press the start/stop button for approx. 1 second. If you maintain pressure on the start/stop button for longer than two seconds while switching off the ignition, the remote control unit will be ejected.< Always remove the remote control unit from the ignition lock before leaving the vehicle.< Parking brake The concept Your BMW is equipped with an electrome-chanical parking brake.

An electrohydraulic mechanism then engages the parking brake to prevent the rear wheels from turning whenever you switch off the engine. When the engine is running, parking brake engagement is controlled by the brake system's hydraulic circuits, which act on the disc brakes at the front and rear wheels. Brake pedal feel Because this function is activated using the brake system's hydraulic circuits, the response of the brake pedal may change slightly. Engagement may also be accom-panied by activation noise – this is normal. Manual engagement Press the button briefly, the word PARK appears briefly in the Info Display.
