Refers to measures that can be taken to helpprotect the environment.Symbol for components andassemblies Recommends that you study this section ofthis Owner’s Handbook in connection with aparticular part or assembly.Your individual vehicleYou have decided in favour of a vehicle with in‐dividual equipment.This Owner’s Handbook describes all modelsand equipment specifications which are avail‐able within this particular model line.This means it can contain equipment variationsthat you might not have selected.Differences, and thus all options, are markedwith an asterisk *.If certain equipment and models are not descri‐bed in this Owner’s Handbook, refer to the Sup‐plementary Owner’s Handbooks provided.In right-hand drive vehicles, some of the con‐trols are arranged differently from those shownin the illustrations.Built-date*The 'built-date' of your vehicle is indicated un‐derneath the door post on the driver's door.The ‘built-date’ is defined as ‘the calendarmonth and the calendar year in which the bodyshell and the powertrain subassemblies are con‐joined and the vehicle is driven or moved fromthe production line’.Status of the Owner'sHandbookThe high level of safety and quality of vehicles isensured by continuous enhancement.

Updates after going to pressUpdates to the Owner's Handbook after goingto press are found in the appendix of the printedquick reference to the vehicle.Your own safetyYour vehicle is configured for the operating con‐ditions and registration requirements of yourcountry. If the vehicle is to be operated in an‐other country, your vehicle must be adapted toany prevailing different operating conditionsand permit requirements. Information on possi‐ble exclusion of warranty or warranty restrictionsfor your vehicle can be obtained from your Serv‐ice centre.Maintenance and repairThe advanced technology behind this car, forexample the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, means that adaptedmethods of maintenance and repair are re‐quired.Always have the corresponding work performedeither by a BMW Service centre or by a work‐shop that operates to BMW specifications andhas suitably trained personnel.If such work is performed inexpertly, it could re‐sult in consequential damage and thus consti‐tute a safety risk.Parts and accessoriesBMW recommends using parts and accessoryproducts that are specifically approved for thispurpose by BMW.You are recommended to consult a BMW Serv‐ice centre for advice on genuine BMW parts andaccessories, other BMW approved productsand competent advice on all related matters.The safety and compatibility of these productsin conjunction with BMW vehicles have beenchecked by BMW.BMW accepts product liability for them. BMWcannot accept liability for parts or accessoryproducts of any kind which it has not approved.BMW is unable to assess each individual prod‐uct of outside origin as to its suitability for useon BMW vehicles without safety risk. Nor cansuitability be assured if an official permit hasbeen issued for it in a specific country. Testsperformed for such permits cannot always coverall operating conditions for BMW vehicles, andsome of them therefore are insufficient.Seite 77Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 607 643 - 07 11 490 Reference Mobility Communication Entertainment Navigation Driving hints Controls Overview

When driving with damaged tyres, the vehiclehandling changes, for example quicker loss oftraction when braking, longer stopping distanceand modified self-steering behaviour. Adaptdriving style accordingly. Avoid abrupt steeringor driving over obstacles, for example curbs,potholes etc.As the possible distance largely depends on thestrain on the vehicle during the journey, this canbe shorter, or longer if the vehicle is driven care‐fully, according to speed, road condition, out‐side temperature, load etc.Continuing a journey with a flat tyreDrive moderately and do not exceed aspeed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.If tyre pressure has fallen, vehicle handlingchanges, for example reduced directional sta‐bility when braking, longer stopping distanceand modified self-steering behaviour.◀Final tyre failureVibration or loud noises while driving maybe an indication that the tyre has finally failed.Reduce your speed and stop, otherwise sec‐tions of the tyre could become detached andcause an accident.

Saving fuelGeneralYour vehicle contains wide-ranging technolo‐gies for reducing consumption and emissionlevels.Fuel consumption depends on various factors.A number of measures, driving style and regularmaintenance can influence the fuel consump‐tion and the burden on the environment.Removing transported loadthat is not requiredExtra weight increases fuel consumption.Removing add-on parts afteruseRemove auxiliary mirrors, roof racks and rear-mounted racks after use.Add-on parts on the car interfere with its aero‐dynamic performance and inflate fuel consump‐tion.Closing windows and theglass roof*An opened glass roof or opened window increa‐ses the drag coefficient and thus the fuel con‐sumption.Checking tyre pressuresregularlyCheck and, if necessary, correct tyre inflationpressures at least twice a month and before set‐ting off on a longer journey.Insufficient tyre inflation pressure enlarges therolling resistance and thus increases fuel con‐sumption and tyre wear.Driving off immediatelyDo not warm up the engine with the car at astandstill; it is preferable to set off straight away,driving at moderate engine speeds.A cold engine will then reach its operating tem‐perature faster.Driving with foresightAvoid accelerating and braking unnecessarily.Keep an appropriate distance from the preced‐ing vehicle.Anticipating the road situation and adopting asmooth driving style will reduce fuel consump‐tion.Avoid high engine speedsUse 1st gear to drive off. As from 2nd gear, ac‐celerate quickly. Avoid high engine speeds andshift up quickly.Shift into the highest possible gear when youhave reached the desired speed and drive at aconstant speed with the lowest possible enginespeed.Basic principle: driving at low engine speeds re‐duces fuel consumption and wear.The shift point indicator* of your vehicle indi‐cates the most economical gear.Making use of coastingOn approaching a red traffic light, take your footoff the accelerator and allow the car to roll.On downward stretches, take your foot off theaccelerator and allow the car to roll.The fuel supply is interrupted when coasting.Seite 133133Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 607 643 - 07 11 490 Reference Mobility Communication Entertainment Navigation Driving hints Controls Overview
Switching off the enginewhen stationaryWhen you stop the car for longer periods, forexample at traffic lights, railway crossings or intraffic jams, switch off the engine.You save fuel even if the engine is off for no lon‐ger than approximately four seconds.The Auto Start Stop function* of your vehicleshuts off the engine automatically during a stop.Switching off functions thatare not necessary at themomentFunctions such as seat heating or heated rearwindow require a great deal of energy and con‐sume additional fuel, especially in city traffic andstop/go traffic.For this reason, switch these functions off if theyare not required.Having the car servicedHave the vehicle serviced regularly to achieveoptimal economy and service life. It is recom‐mended to have maintenance work performedby your Service centre.See also the BMW Maintenance System, seepage 245.ECO PRO*PrincipleECO PRO supports a low energy consumptiondriving style. To do this, the engine control andcomfort functions are adjusted, such as, for ex‐ample, the air conditioning power.In addition, situation-dependent instructionscan be displayed which help you to drive withoptimum fuel consumption.In the instrument cluster, the extension of therange achieved as a result can be displayed.Activate ECO PROPress button, see page 94, until ECOPRO is displayed in the instrumentcluster.Display in the instrument clusterECO PRO bonus rangeAn extension of range can beachieved due to adjusted drivingstyle.This is displayed as bonus rangein the instrument cluster.Driving style*In the revolution counter, a mark‐ing in the bar display shows thecurrent efficiency of the drivingstyle according to the gas pedalsetting.▷Blue display: efficient driving style as long asthe marking moves in the blue area.▷Grey display: adjust driving style, for exam‐ple, by coming off the gas.The display changes to blue as soon as all theconditions for driving with optimised fuel con‐sumption are met.ECO PRO tip - driving instruction*The arrow shows that the drivingstyle can be adjusted to be moreefficient on fuel consumption bycoming off the gas.Additional SymbolsSymbol MeasureCome off the gas for efficient drivingstyle.Reduce speed to the selected ECOPRO speed.Automatic gearbox*: switch from Sto D and/or avoid manual changes.Seite 134134Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 607 643 - 07 11 490Saving fuel
