DEVELOPMENT FOR OVER THREE QUARTERS OF A CENTURY, THE BASIC IDEA BEHIND THE CAR WAS LEFT UNTOUCHED. Until now. Today, the BMW i3 introduces a wealth of new ways to create the ultimate sustainable electric car. One key innovation is LifeDrive: the first serial production passenger cell made of light and extremely robust carbon fiber. It substantially reduces the weight of the vehicle for maximum electric range. Moreover, streamflow aerodynamics reduce drag and energy consumption. The interior of the BMW i3 features natural-fiber based raw materials in the instrument panel and door trim surfaces. Textiles for the seats are made of up to 100% recycled materials. The leather components are tanned with natural olive leaf extract, which gives the leather a unique, fresh scent. The interior wood panels are made of open-pore eucalyptus wood. All wood is sourced from responsible forestry and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®). Innovation is also built into the BMW i3 product development process itself: To ensure a truly sustainable product, measurable targets were already set in the early strategic phase of development to define environmental guidelines for the entire product life cycle – from the sourcing of raw materials to production, utilization and recycling. These were agreed to and monitored throughout the development phase of the vehicle. The life cycle assessment process and the results have been certified by a third party according to ISO 14040/14044. Further details can be found online at bmw-i.com.

The interior of the BMW i3 includes a variety of premium-quality, sustainable materials. Approximately 25% of the thermoplastics used are composed of recyclates or have been replaced by renewable materials.

The BMW i3 not only produces zero emissions while driving; all electricity that goes into its production in Leipzig is generated from renewables. BMW factories have been leading the way in sustainable production for a long time now, but BMW i has gone even further and significantly improved its facilities. The BMW i factory in Leipzig produces its own renewable energy – right on the premises – and operates on 100% clean electric power at zero emissions. It also consumes significantly less resources. And consider the unique approach to carbon fiber production: It has been located in Moses Lake, USA, so that all operations can be powered completely by renewable energy from the numerous hydroelectric plants nearby. For BMW i, sustainable production is not only an environmental consideration but also a social one, creating future-proof job profiles and training BMW i’s suppliers to comply with advanced sustainability standards.

UTILIZATION THE ORIGIN OF EMISSION-FREE DRIVING: POWER FROM RENEWABLE RESOURCES. With zero local emissions while driving, the BMW i3 helps reduce air pollution in urban areas. When charged with clean power – generated from renewables – the positive impact is greater still. This is because, throughout the entire product life cycle, driving the new BMW i3 on energy from renewable sources can potentially reduce emissions (CO2 equivalents) by up to 50%, when compared to a highly efficient vehicle of the same class with a combustion engine. That’s why BMW i recommends clean energy producers, to help make an even bigger difference. Further details can be found online at bmw-i.com/sustainability. As if that weren’t enough, the innovative eDrive technology of the BMW i3 also features all sorts of efficiency enhancers: from state-ofthe-art brake energy recuperation to range-increasing ECO PRO+ driving mode, which can boost the driving range by up to 40km at the touch of a button. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 BMW_i3_Bedienungseinleger_210x138mm_us_lektoriert_RZ.indd 8 22.01.14 15:19 In terms of its performance throughout the entire product life cycle – from the sourcing of raw materials to production, use and recycling – how does the BMW i3 compare to a vehicle with a high-efficiency combustion engine? 50% fewer CO2 equivalents when driving on electricity from renewable sources. 30% fewer CO2 equivalents when driving with EU-25 or comparable energy mixes.

RECYCLING AT BMW i WE NOT ONLY PIONEER NEW MATERIALS, WE ALSO TAKE CARE OF THEIR RECYCLING. Recycling is a given at BMW i. Production residues from carbon fiber production, carbon components and body parts, for instance, are valuable materials. That’s why they are either reused as secondary raw materials for the in-house BMW i production cycle or recycled for other automotive or non-automotive applications. And the early production stage of a BMW i3 marks a first for the automotive industry – the first time recycled carbon fiber is being used for a vehicle passenger cell. Together with partners, BMW i is pioneering closed loops for up to 100% of carbon fiber from production residues or end-of-life vehicles. BMW i is also branching out in new directions when it comes to the recycling of other components and materials. For example, there are many possible ways to reuse the high-capacity BMW i lithium ion battery pack. A very simple and effective one is as temporary energy storage for solar power or wind energy to make renewably produced energy available when it is needed. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 BMW_i3_Bedienungseinleger_210x138mm_us_lektoriert_RZ.indd 10 22.01.14 15:19 100% of used battery packs could, for example, be reused as temporary storage units for solar power equipment and wind energy systems.

Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Notes Data memory Many electronic components on your vehicle are equipped with data memories that tempo‐ rarily or permanently store technical informa‐ tion about the condition of the vehicle, events and faults. This technical information generally records the state of a component, a module, a system or the environment: ▷ Operating mode of system components, fill levels for instance. ▷ Status messages for the vehicle and from its individual components, e.g., wheel rota‐ tion speed/vehicle speed, deceleration, transverse acceleration. ▷ Malfunctions and faults in important sys‐ tem components, e.g., lights and brakes. ▷ Responses by the vehicle to special situa‐ tions such as airbag deployment or engag‐ ing the stability control system. ▷ Ambient conditions, such as temperature. This data is purely technical in nature and is used to detect and correct faults and to opti‐ mize vehicle functions. Motion profiles over routes traveled cannot be created from this data. When service offerings are used, e.g., re‐ pair services, service processes, warranty claims, quality assurance, this technical infor‐ mation can be read out from the event and fault memories by the service personnel, in‐ cluding the manufacturer, using special diag‐ nostic tools. You can obtain further information there if you need it. After an error is corrected, the information in the fault memory is deleted or overwritten on a continuous basis. With the vehicle in use there are situations where you can associate these technical data with individuals if combined with other infor‐ mation, e.g., an accident report, damage to the vehicle, eye witness accounts — possibly with the assistance of an expert. Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer - such as vehicle emergency locating - you can transmit certain vehicle data from the vehicle. Event Data Recorder EDR This vehicle is equipped with an event data re‐ corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐ tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under‐ standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: ▷ How various systems in your vehicle were operating. ▷ Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were fastened. ▷ How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal. ▷ How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better under‐ standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data, e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location, are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforce‐ ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely ac‐ quired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi‐ cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve‐ hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

BMW eDRIVE Special features of the BMW i High-voltage system This BMW i is an electric vehicle. The vehicle features a high-voltage system that consists of an electric motor and a high-voltage battery among other things. Optionally, the vehicle has a combustion engine that generates electrical energy via a generator and thereby increases the range. This combustion engine is called the Range Extender. 1 Vehicle battery 2 Fuel filler flap 3 High-voltage battery 4 Charging port 5 Drive unit The concept The vehicle can be operated completely emis‐ sions free using its electrical drive system. The special high-voltage battery supplies the electric motor as well as the comfort features with power. Carbon body The high-voltage battery is charged via a charging cable, e.g., when parked or while driv‐ ing by energy recovery. The vehicle consists of two different functional units: the drive module made from aluminum and the life module made from carbon fiber re‐ inforced plastic (carbon). Charging can be done especially quickly via special power connections. However, charging via conventional power supply - at home - is also possible. On the go, the energy recovery ensures that only little energy is lost when braking. When the vehicle decelerates, the electric mo‐ tor assumes the function of a generator and completely or partially converts the freed up motion energy into electrical power. As a result the high-voltage battery is partially recharged in order to reach maximum range. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 31 At a glance BMW eDRIVE An optional Range Extender can supply the drive system with power and thus increase the range of the vehicle. Functions Electric driving: eDRIVE Display The eDRIVE displays, refer to page 75, pro‐ vide information about the current state of the drive and visualize the system's use in a dia‐ gram. Maximize energy-saving driving and range The vehicle is powered exclusively by the elec‐ tric motor. The accelerator pedal can be used not just for acceleration, but also for decelera‐ tion. In this case, the electric motor works like a generator and charges the high voltage bat‐ tery. With a sensible driving style, this function can be used for especially efficient energy re‐ covery and comfortable driving, using just the accelerator pedal. Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequisite for as large a range as possible. eDRIVE pro‐ vides various functions that assist with an en‐ ergy-saving driving style and in the process help to monitor the range and if needed to in‐ crease it. The following instructions provide an overview of the available functions and the per‐ sonal measures. Coasting Before driving An especially efficient operating point is socalled coasting. In this case, the vehicle is de‐ celerated only by driving resistance and no en‐ ergy flows between high-voltage battery and electric motor. In order to coast, depress the accelerator pedal far enough that the mark in the instrument cluster, refer to page 75, is exactly in the center. eDRIVE allows using the air conditioner even before driving off. The stationary climate con‐ trol, refer to page 133, provides more range than full air conditioning while driving. Energy recovery: CHARGE The high-voltage battery is charged while driv‐ ing through energy recovery. The electric motor acts as a generator and converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric current. Charging can take place in various situations while the vehicle is in motion: ▷ As soon as the gas pedal is only slightly depressed. ▷ During vehicle braking. The mark in the instrument cluster is located within the CHARGE range. Sensible driving and early speed reduction are important to make full use of the energy recov‐ ery feature. 32 Parked car ventilation during the charging process can provide maximum range when driving off. Trip planning and special functions of the navigation system Several special functions of the navigation sys‐ tem support trip planning taking into account the electric range: ▷ Range assistant, refer to Integrated Own‐ er's Manual. Checks whether an entered navigation destination can be reached. If the range is not sufficient, various recom‐ mendations to help increase the range are displayed automatically, e.g. an alternative ECO PRO route is displayed. ▷ Intermodal routing oder intermodal infor‐ mation, refer to Integrated Owner's Manual, as route criterion support trip planning using public transportation. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 BMW eDRIVE At a glance ▷ Range map indicates the action range on the navigation map, refer to Integrated Owner's Manual. ▷ Charging assistant under special destina‐ tions in navigation, helps to find and possi‐ bly include a public charging station in the desired route, refer to Integrated Owner's Manual. During driving ▷ General driving tips, refer to page 154, for increasing the range. ▷ Use the eDRIVE system efficiently, refer to page 148, for an optimized driving style. ▷ ECO PRO driving style analysis, refer to page 157, for driving style analysis. ▷ ECO PRO and ECO PRO+ mode, refer to page 155, for increasing the range. ▷ Display of the Fuel consumption history, refer to page 77. ▷ Display of secondary functions and the po‐ tential range, refer to page 78. After the trip ▷ Charge vehicle, refer to page 160, and plan next trip. ▷ Prepare for long downtimes, refer to page 203. BMW i Remote app A special BMW i Remote App allows to control and display certain vehicle functions using a smartphone.

Other‐ wise, there is the risk of fatal injury from elec‐ trocution due to the high-voltage system's high voltage.◀ ▷ Liquid escapes in the trunk. In these cases there is no risk of injury from electrocution. Other damage to the vehicle is possible. High-voltage system: automatic deactivation If an accident occurs, the high-voltage system is switched off automatically to prevent risk of danger to occupants and other traffic. Read the information on What to do after an accident, refer to page 199. Body work and working on the high-volt‐ age system Do not perform any modifications or work on the vehicle, especially maintenance and repair work on the high-voltage system and the car‐ bon body and avoid retrofitting accessories. If work is not carried out properly, there is the risk of fire and fatal injury from electrocution due to the high-voltage system's high voltage. BMW recommends to have modifications and work on the vehicle only be carried out by an authorized BMW i service center or one that operates according to BMW i specifications with personnel trained accordingly.◀ Your vehicle's high-voltage system is a selfcontained system. Safety is ensured as long as no work is performed on technical components or on the chassis. High-voltage system: contact with water The high-voltage system is typically safe even in the following example situations: ▷ Water in the footwell, for instance after a rainstorm when sunroof was kept open. ▷ Vehicle is in water but only up to the al‐ lowed height. 34 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Safety of the high-voltage system Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 At a glance 35 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Controls This chapter is intended to provide you with information that will give you complete control of your vehicle.

Please take special care when parking or leaving a parking space.◀ Cautiously remove your foot from the ac‐ celerator pedal Cautiously remove your foot from the acceler‐ ator pedal because the braking effect of the electric motor can be stronger than with a combustion engine. Otherwise, abrupt braking and slow-down may confuse other traffic.◀ Accelerator pedal positions ally, the brake lights will come on without hit‐ ting the brakes. Energy recovery: CHARGE The high-voltage battery is recharged in part through energy recovery. The electric motor acts as a generator when decelerating and converts the kinetic energy into electrical en‐ ergy. Energy can be recovered if the following condi‐ tions are met: ▷ The vehicle is moving. ▷ Speed higher than approx. 12 mph/20 km/h. ▷ Selector lever position D or R is set. ▷ Gas pedal is not actuated or only pressed down 1/3 of the way. Energy cannot be recovered in the following situations: ▷ Selector lever position N is set. ▷ While drive stability control systems, e.g. DTC, are active and control the vehicle, even though this is not indicated by an in‐ dicator light. ▷ The high-voltage battery is fully charged. ▷ When temperature of the high-voltage bat‐ tery is very low or very high. In winter it might be possible that the en‐ ergy recovery is temporarily unavailable af‐ ter startup. 1 Deceleration 2 Coasting 3 Acceleration or constant speed: ePOWER Deceleration The deceleration depends on the position of the accelerator pedal. The less the actuation of the accelerator pedal, the greater the decelera‐ tion. In this way energy is recovered and the high-voltage battery is charged. Releasing the accelerator pedal causes decel‐ eration similar to cautious braking. Addition‐ 68 Always be ready to apply the brake Always be ready to apply the brake, be‐ cause without energy recovery there is also no braking action through the electric drive unit. The vehicle could roll further than anticipated. This may constitute a danger for other traffic.◀ Exemplary traffic situations If a deceleration operation is foreseeable while driving, this can be used for energy recovery. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Driving The following exemplary driving situations may show that: ▷ Decelerating downhill. ▷ Deceleration before a red light. Avoid late or abrupt braking. Instead, deceler‐ ate the vehicle using energy recovery. Coasting The electric drive makes it possible to roll with‐ out consuming energy. This driving condition is referred to as coasting. Proactive driving reduces energy consumption and increases the range. Controls Automatic maintenance run To ensure that the Range Extender functions properly even during longer periods of nonuse, the Range Extender is automatically acti‐ vated for a few minutes at certain intervals dur‐ ing the trip. Respective Check Control messages indicate the dry run. Should that oc‐ cur at an unfavorable time you may cancel the dry run by pressing the Start/Stop button. It postpones the dry run. Should the high-voltage battery be fully charged or if there is not enough gas in the tank then a dry run will not be executed. With vehicle rolling, no energy is recovered. Heavily discharged high-voltage battery Exemplary traffic situations If the high-voltage battery is heavily dis‐ charged during the trip, the performance and some comfort features are reduced step-bystep to extend the range. If a route can be traveled without anticipated need for braking, it is advantageous to roll. The following exemplary driving situations may show that: ▷ Rolling on a straight downhill route without obstacles. ▷ Coasting on a route without obstacles. Avoid late or abrupt braking. Range Extender Increase range Heated high-voltage battery With a stationary dirt In exceptional cases, it is possible that the high-voltage battery heats up sharply when the vehicle is stationary. E. g. with extreme exter‐ nal temperatures and direct solar radiation. With a overheated high-voltage battery, drive readiness cannot be switched on. If the charging state of the high-voltage battery drops during travel to a minimum value, the Range Extender starts and supplies the re‐ quired electrical energy for driving on. A Check Control message is displayed. The symbol on the charging state indicator designates a Range Extender reel-on time. While driving The Range Extender controls its output auto‐ matically, turns itself off and restarts according to the driving situation. The high-voltage battery will not be charged by the Range Extender. Another message will indicate when drive readiness is available again. If the high-voltage battery overheats during the trip, the performance is reduced step-by-step in order to cool down the battery. The ePO‐ WER performance display in the instrument cluster returns in the process. When tempera‐ ture increases further, park the vehicle until the high-voltage batter has cooled down.

Airbags 1 Front airbag, driver 4 Side airbag 2 Front airbag, front passenger 5 Knee airbags 3 Head airbag Front airbags Side airbags Front airbags help protect the driver and front passenger by responding to frontal impacts in which safety belts alone would not provide ad‐ equate restraint. In a lateral impact, the side airbag supports the side of the body in the chest and lap area. Head airbags In a lateral impact, the head airbag supports the head. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 93 Controls Safety Knee airbag The knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal impact. Protective action Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐ tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end collisions. Information on how to ensure the optimal protective effect of the airbags ▷ Keep at a distance from the airbags. ▷ Always grasp the steering wheel on the steering wheel rim, holding your hands at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep the risk of injury to your hands or arms as low as possible when the airbag is triggered. ▷ There should be no person, animals, or ob‐ jects between an airbag and a person. ▷ Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the front passenger side as a storage area. ▷ Dashboard and windshield on the front passenger side must stay clear - do not at‐ tach adhesive labels or coverings and do not attach brackets or cables, e. g., for GPS devices or' mobile phones. ▷ Make sure that the front passenger is sit‐ ting correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and legs in the footwell; otherwise, leg injuries might occur when front airbag is activated. ▷ Do not place slip covers, seat cushions or other objects on the front passenger seat that are not approved specifically for seats with integrated side airbags. ▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jackets, over the backrests. ▷ Make sure that occupants keep their heads away from the side airbag and do not rest against the head airbag; otherwise, injuries might occur when airbag is activated. ▷ Do not remove the airbag system. ▷ Do not remove the steering wheel. 94 ▷ Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐ bag cover panels, do not cover them or modify them in any way. ▷ Never modify either the individual compo‐ nents or the wiring in the airbag system. This also applies to steering wheel covers, the dashboard, the seats, the roof pillars and the sides of the roofliner.◀ Even when you follow all instructions very closely, injury from contact with the airbags cannot be ruled out in certain situations. The ignition and inflation noise may lead to short-term and, in most cases, temporary hearing impairment in sensitive individuals. Malfunction, deactivation and after de‐ ploying the airbags Do not touch the individual components imme‐ diately after the system has been triggered; otherwise, you may risk burns. Only have the airbags checked, repaired or dis‐ mantled and the airbag generator scrapped by the service center or an authorized repair shop for handling explosives. Non-professional attempts to service the sys‐ tem could lead to failure in an emergency or unintentional activation of the airbag - both may lead to injury.◀ Warnings and information on the airbags are also found on the sun visors. Functional readiness of the airbag system With operating readiness turned on warning light in the instrument cluster lights up briefly indicating airbag sys‐ tem and belt tension are functional.

In this case, the indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger airbags lights up. The indicator lamp for the front-seat passen‐ ger airbags indicates the operating state of the front-seat passenger airbags. The lamp indicates whether the airbags are ei‐ ther activated or deactivated. ▷ The indicator lamp lights up when a child is properly seated in a child restraint fix‐ ing system or when the seat is empty. The airbags on the front passenger side are not activated. In this case, change the sitting position so that the front-seat passenger airbags are activated and the indicator lamp goes out. ▷ The indicator lamp does not light up when, e.g., a correctly seated person of sufficient size is detected on the seat. The airbags on the front passenger side are activated. If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have the person sit in the rear.

Strength of the driver's and front-seat passenger airbag The explosive power that activates driver's/ front passenger's airbags very much depends on the positions of the driver's/front passeng‐ er's seat. Tire Pressure Monitor TPM The concept The system monitors tire inflation pressure in the four mounted tires. The system warns you if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires. For this purpose, sensors in the tire valves measure the tire inflation pressure and tire temperature. Hints Tire damage due to external factors With a respective message appearing on Con‐ trol Display calibrate the front seats to keep the accuracy of this function over the longterm. Sudden tire damage caused by external circumstances cannot be recognized in ad‐ vance.◀ Calibrating the front seats With use of the system observe further infor‐ mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re‐ fer to page 173. A corresponding message appears on the Control Display. 1. Press the reel and move the respective seat all the way forward. 2. Press the reel forward again. The seat still moves forward slightly. 3. Readjust the seat to the desired position. The calibration procedure is completed when the message on the Control Display disap‐ pears.

A Check Control message is displayed in the following situations ▷ Interference through systems or devices with the same radio frequency: after leav‐ ing the area of the interference, the system automatically becomes active again. ▷ The system has detected a wheel change, but no reset was done. ▷ Inflation was not carried out according to specifications. ▷ The tire inflation pressure has fallen below the level of the last confirmation. In this case: ▷ Check the tire pressure and correct as needed. ▷ Carry out a reset of the system after a tire change. System limits The system does not function properly if a re‐ set has not been carried out, e.g., a flat tire is reported though tire inflation pressures are correct. The tire inflation pressure depends on the tire's temperature. Driving or exposure to the sun will increase the tire's temperature, thus increasing the tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure is reduced when the tire temperature falls again. These circumstances may cause a warning when temperatures fall very sharply. Malfunction The yellow warning lamp flashes and then lights up continuously. A Check Control message is displayed. No flat tire or loss of tire inflation pressure can be de‐ tected. Display in the following situations: ▷ A wheel without TPM electronics is fitted: have the service center check it if needed. ▷ Malfunction: have the system checked by your service center. 98 Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Each tire, including the spare (if provided) should be checked monthly when cold and in‐ flated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres‐ sure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pres‐ sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel ef‐ ficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi‐ cator to indicate when the system is not oper‐ ating properly. The TPMS malfunction indica‐ tor is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunc‐ tion, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi‐ nated. This sequence will continue upon sub‐ Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Safety sequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal‐ function exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replace‐ ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prop‐ erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction tell‐ tale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. FTM Flat Tire Monitor The concept The status is displayed. Initialization When initializing the once set inflation tire pressures serve as reference values in order to detect a flat tire. Initialization is started by con‐ firming the tire inflation pressures. Do not initialize the system when driving with snow chains. On the Control Display: 1. "Vehicle info" 2. "Vehicle status" 3. "Perform reset" 4. Switch on drive readiness – do not drive off. 5. Start the initialization with "Perform reset". The system detects tire inflation pressure loss on the basis of rotation speed differences be‐ tween the individual wheels while driving. In the event of a tire inflation pressure loss, the diameter and therefore the rotational speed of the corresponding wheel changes. This will be detected and reported as a flat tire. The system does not measure the actual infla‐ tion pressure in the tires. Functional requirements The system must have been initialized when the tire inflation pressure was correct; other‐ wise, reliable flagging of a flat tire is not as‐ sured. Initialize the system after each correc‐ tion of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. Status display The current status of the Flat Tire Monitor can be displayed on the Control Display, e.g., whether or not the FTM is active. On the Control Display: 1. "Vehicle info" 2. "Vehicle status" 3. Controls "Flat Tire Monitor (FTM)" 6. Drive away. The initialization is completed while driving, which can be interrupted at any time. The initialization automatically continues when driving resumes. Indication of a flat tire The yellow warning lamp lights up. A Check Control message is displayed. There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation pressure. 1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers. 2. Identify the damaged wheel. Do so by checking the tire inflation pressure using the Mobility System. If the tire inflation pressure in all tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system. 3. Repair flat tire with the Mobility System, re‐ fer to page 178, or replace the damaged wheel.

Brake and increase distance. The vehicle flashes red and an acoustic signal sounds: acute warn‐ ing. You are requested to intervene by braking or make an evasive maneu‐ ver. Prewarning This warning is issued, e.g., when there is the impending danger of a collision or the distance to the vehicle ahead is too small. The driver must intervene actively when there is a prewarning. Controls The braking intervention can be interrupted by stepping on the accelerator pedal or by ac‐ tively moving the steering wheel. Object detection can be restricted. Limitations of the detection range and functional restric‐ tions are to be considered. System limits Detection range The system's detection potential is limited. Thus a warning might not be issued or be is‐ sued late. E. g. the following situations may not be de‐ tected: ▷ Slow moving vehicles when you approach them at high speed. ▷ Vehicles that suddenly swerve in front of you, or sharply decelerating vehicles. Acute warning with braking function ▷ Vehicles with an unusual rear appearance. Warning of the imminent danger of a collision when the vehicle approaches another object at a relatively high differential speed. ▷ Two-wheeled vehicles ahead of you. The driver must intervene actively when there is an acute warning. If necessary, the driver is assisted by a minor automatic braking inter‐ vention in a possible risk of collision. The system may not be fully functional in the following situations: Acute warnings can also be triggered without previous prewarning. ▷ In tight curves. Braking intervention The warning prompts the driver himself/herself to react. During a warning, the maximum brak‐ ing force is used.

It also describes features that are not necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to the selected options or country versions. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. The respectively applicable country provisions must be observed when using the respective features and systems. Antilock Brake System ABS ABS prevents locking of the wheels during braking. The vehicle contains its steering power even during full brake applications, thus increasing active safety. ABS is ready when car is ready to drive. Brake assistant When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically produces the greatest possible braking force boost. It reduces the braking dis‐ tance to a minimum during emergency stop. This system utilizes all of the benefits provided by ABS. Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal for the duration of the emergency stop. Energy recovery In the event of danger, such as with locked wheels, energy recovery is reduced in order to prevent unstable driving situations. Always be ready to apply the brake Always be ready to apply the brake, be‐ cause without energy recovery there is also no braking action through the electric drive unit. The vehicle could roll further than anticipated. This may constitute a danger for other traffic.◀ DSC Dynamic Stability Control The concept DSC prevents traction loss in the power wheels when driving off and accelerating. DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle condi‐ tions such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Within the physical limits DSC helps to keep the vehi‐ cle on a steady course by reducing engine speed and by applying brakes to the individual wheels. Note Adjust your driving style to the situation An appropriate driving style is always the responsibility of the driver. The laws of physics cannot be repealed, not even with DSC. Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety margin by driving in a risky manner.◀ Do not deactivate DSC when driving with roof load Do not deactivate Dynamic Stability Control DSC when driving with roof load, e.g. roofmounted luggage rack.

Camera-based cruise control with Stop & Go function, ACC The concept Use this system to select a desired speed that the vehicle will maintain automatically on clear roads. To the extent possible, the system automati‐ cally adjusts the speed to a slower vehicle ahead of you. A camera on the interior rear view mirror is used to detect vehicles driving ahead. The distance that the vehicle maintains to the vehicle ahead of you can be varied. For safety reasons, it depends on the speed. To maintain a certain distance, the system au‐ tomatically reduces the speed, applies the brakes lightly, or accelerates again if the vehi‐ cle ahead begins moving faster. If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and then proceeds to drive again within a brief pe‐ riod, the system is able to detect this within the given system limits. Your own vehicle will brake automatically and then accelerate again. If the vehicle ahead of you drives away again after a prolonged period, briefly press the ac‐ celerator pedal or press the appropriate button 110 to reactivate the system. The vehicle will auto‐ matically accelerate. As soon as the road is clear, the vehicle accel‐ erates to the desired speed. The speed is also maintained downhill, but may not be maintained uphill if engine power is insufficient. General information Depending on the driving settings, the features of the cruise control can change in certain areas. Hints Personal responsibility Even an active system holds the driver responsible for his or her driving, particularly for staying in your lane, adjusting your speed, keeping your distance and for your driving style all in relation to traffic. Technically the system has its limits, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. Monitor your driving, be on the alert, observe the vehicle surroundings and other traffic and react when needed, e.g. through braking, steering or make evasive maneuvers - risk of accident.◀ Unfavorable weather conditions In the event of unfavorable weather and light conditions, e. g. if there is rain, snowfall, slush, fog or glare, this may result in poorer recognition of vehicles as well as short-term interruptions for vehicles that are already de‐ tected.

The desired speed can be set between 20 mph/30 km/h and 85 mph/140 km/h. The system can also be activated when sta‐ tionary. Comply with the legal speed limit in every sit‐ uation when using the system. Detection range A vehicle driving in front of you is not detected until it is completely within the same lane as your vehicle. Swerving vehicles The detection lidacity of the system and the automatic braking lidacity are limited. Two-wheeled vehicles for instance might not be detected. Limited detection potential If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly swerves into your lane, the system may not be able to automatically restore the selected dis‐ tance. This also applies to major speed differ‐ ences to vehicles driving ahead of you, e.g., when rapidly approaching a truck. When a ve‐ hicle driving ahead of you is reliably detected, the system requests that the driver intervene by braking and carrying out evasive maneu‐ vers, if needed. You must react yourself; other‐ wise, there is the risk of an accident.◀ Cornering Because of the limited possible detec‐ tion, you should be alert at all times so that you can intervene if needed; otherwise, there is the risk of an accident.◀ Deceleration The system does not decelerate for: ▷ Pedestrians, cyclists or similar slow road users. ▷ Red traffic lights. ▷ Cross traffic. ▷ Oncoming traffic. ▷ Unlit vehicles or vehicles with defective lighting at night. If the desired speed is too high for a curve, the speed is reduced slightly, although curves can‐ not be anticipated in advance. Therefore, drive into a curve at an appropriate speed. In tight curves the system offers only restricted detection where a vehicle ahead of you might be detected late or not at all. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 115 Controls Driving comfort Cruise control The concept The system maintains a preset speed via the buttons on the steering wheel. The system brakes on downhill gradients if engine braking is insufficient. When you approach a curve the system may briefly report vehicles in the next lane due to the bend of the curve. If the system deceler‐ ates you may compensate it by briefly acceler‐ ating. After releasing the gas pedal the system is re‐ activated and controls speed independently. Driving away In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off automatically; for example: ▷ On steep inclines. ▷ From behind bumps in the road. In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal. Malfunction General information Depending on the driving settings, the features of the cruise control can change in certain areas. Hints Unfavorable conditions Do not use the system if unfavorable conditions make it impossible to drive at a con‐ stant speed, e.g.: ▷ On winding roads. ▷ In heavy traffic. ▷ On slippery roads, in fog, snow or rain, or on a loose road surface. Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi‐ cle and cause an accident.◀ A Check Control message is displayed if the system fails. Overview The system may not be fully functional in the following situations: Buttons on the steering wheel ▷ When an object was not correctly de‐ tected. ▷ In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐ fall. ▷ In tight curves. ▷ If the camera viewing field or the front windshield are dirty or covered. ▷ When driving toward bright lights. ▷ Up to 20 seconds after drive readiness is switched on via the Start/Stop knob.

The respectively applicable country provisions must be observed when using the respective features and systems. Brake system Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐ prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimal per‐ formance between brake discs and brake pads. Drive moderately during this break-in pe‐ riod. Following part replacement The same break-in procedures should be ob‐ served if any of the components above-men‐ tioned have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life. Breaking-in period General information Using eDRIVE efficiently Moving parts need time to adjust to one an‐ other (break-in time). The concept The following instructions will help accomplish a long vehicle life and good efficiency. Range Extender The full performance of the Range Extender is available after a brief operating period and is only minimally restricted during the run-in phase. Control of the Range Extender during and after the run-in phase, as well as the activation of the full performance, are preset depending on the system and take place automatically. eDRIVE operates automatically. Proactive driv‐ ing utilizes energy consumption and energy re‐ covery optimally. Energy recovery is used to charge the high-voltage battery. It is important for the supply of electrical components and thus a prerequisite for an extensive range. En‐ ergy consumption and recovery depend very much, among other things, on your driving style. Optimizing driving style Performance display The driving style can be optimized using the performance display. Tires Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur‐ ing circumstances when tires are brand-new; they achieve their full traction potential after a break-in time. Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km. 148 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Things to remember when driving Driving tips charging location. If necessary, the high-volt‐ age battery will be charged automatically. Make sure that the charging process takes place. Regularly check the charging state. Don't allow battery charge status to drop too low - it will damage the battery.◀ The energy recovery occurs during coasting and braking and is displayed in the perform‐ ance display by the accelerator pedal indicator. The accelerator pedal pointer is within the CHARGE range. Efficient energy recovery: ▷ The accelerator pedal moves to the left within the blue range of the CHARGE dis‐ play, arrow 1. ▷ The energy use while driving can be opti‐ mized by efficient acceleration. Efficient acceleration: ▷ The accelerator pedal moves to the right within the blue range of the ePOWER dis‐ play, arrow 2. ▷ Use deceleration during coasting as often as possible for energy recovery. Brake according to traffic and circum‐ stances Brake in accordance with the traffic conditions, or there is the risk of accident.◀ Discharge of the high-voltage battery Longer idle periods, refer to page 203, can re‐ duce the charging state of the high-voltage battery. Do not allow the vehicle to sit idle for ex‐ tended periods with a low charging state Before storing the vehicle for an extended pe‐ riod, check the battery charge indicator to en‐ sure that the high-voltage battery is fully charged. During the idle period, connect the vehicle to a charging station at a suitable General driving notes Closing the tailgate Drive with the tailgate closed Only drive with the tailgate closed; other‐ wise, in the event of an accident or braking and evasive maneuvers, passengers and other traf‐ fic may be injured, and the vehicle may be damaged. Moreover, exhaust gases can get into the vehicle interior and the lights in the tailgate cannot be recognized.◀ If driving with the tailgate open cannot be avoided: ▷ Close all windows and the glass sunroof. ▷ Greatly increase the air flow from the vents. ▷ Drive moderately. Hot exhaust system Hot exhaust system High temperatures are generated in the exhaust system. Do not remove the heat shields installed and never apply undercoating to them. Make sure that flammable materials, e. g. hay, leaves, grass, etc. do not come in contact with the hot exhaust system while driving, while in idle po‐ sition mode, or when parked. Such contact could lead to a fire, resulting in an increased risk of serious personal injury as well as prop‐ erty damage. Do not touch hot exhaust pipes; otherwise, there is a danger of getting burned.◀ Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 149 Driving tips Things to remember when driving Mobile communication devices in the vehicle Mobile communication devices in the ve‐ hicle It is not recommended to use mobile phones, such as mobile phones, in the vehicle interior without a direct connection to an external aer‐ ial. Otherwise, the vehicle's electronics and mobile communication devices can interfere with each other. In addition, there is no assur‐ ance that the radiation generated during trans‐ mission will be conducted away from the vehi‐ cle interior.◀ Steering is still responsive. You can still avoid any obstacles with a minimum of steering ef‐ fort. Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from the hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is in its active mode. In certain braking situations, the perforated brake discs can cause functional problems. However, this has no effect on the perform‐ ance and operational reliability of the brake. Objects in the range of movement of the pedals and in the footwell Do not allow objects in the interior around pedals and foot space Hydroplaning Hydroplaning When driving on wet or slushy roads, re‐ duce your speed to prevent hydroplaning.◀ Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other ob‐ jects out of the pedal area and do not stow them in the footwell; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving. On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can form between the tires and road surface. Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects. This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplan‐ ing. It is characterized by a partial or complete loss of contact between the tires and the road surface, ultimately undermining your ability to steer and brake the vehicle. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be properly attached to floor. Driving through water Observe water level and speed Do not exceed the maximum water level and maximum speed; otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the trans‐ mission may be damaged.◀ Drive though calm water only and only if it is not deeper than 9.8 inches/25 cm and at this height, no faster than walking speed, up to 3 mph/5 km/h. Braking safely Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as a stand‐ ard feature. Applying the brakes fully is the most effective way of braking in situations needed. 150 Ensure that the floor mats are securely fas‐ tened again after they were removed for clean‐ ing, e.g.◀ Hills Avoid stressing the brakes Avoid placing excessive stress on the brake system. Light but consistent brake pres‐ sure can lead to high temperatures, brakes wearing out and possibly even brake failure.◀ Do not drive in neutral Do not drive in neutral or with drive readi‐ ness switched off, as doing so disables engine braking. In addition, steering and brake assist are unavailable with the engine stopped.◀ On downhill sections, use energy recovery if possible to decelerate the vehicle. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Things to remember when driving Driving tips Brake disc corrosion Brake disc corrosion and contamination of the brake pads are favored by: ▷ Low mileage. ▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all. ▷ Infrequent use of the brakes. Corrosion will built up when the maximum pressure applied to the brake pads during braking is not reached - thus discs don't get cleaned. Corrosion buildup on the brake discs will cause a pulsating effect on the brakes in their re‐ sponse - generally that cannot be corrected. Condensation under the parked vehicle When using the automatic climate control, condensation water develops collecting under‐ neath the vehicle. These traces of water under the vehicle are normal.

Hints Overloading the vehicle To avoid exceeding the approved ca‐ pacity of the tires, never overload the vehicle. Overloading can lead to overheating and in‐ creases the rate at which damage develops in‐ side the tires. This could result in a sudden loss of tire inflation pressure.◀ Only use loops for releasing the rear seat backrests Do not use the loops for releasing the rear seat backrests to attach objects; otherwise there is an increased risk of injury because of unex‐ pected movement of the rear seat backrest.◀ Determining the load limit 1. Locate the following statement on your ve‐ hicle’s placard: ▷ The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the vehicle and unstable driving situations may result. No fluids in the cargo area Make sure that fluids do not leak into the cargo area; otherwise, the vehicle may be dam‐ aged.◀ Heavy and hard objects Do not stow any heavy and hard objects in the car's interior without securing them; oth‐ erwise, they may present a danger to occu‐ pants, e.g., during braking and evasive maneu‐ vers.◀ Load cargo area only with the cargo area floor installed Load the cargo area only if the cargo area floor is located in the cargo area. Otherwise, the cover of the engine below it could be dam‐ aged.◀ 152 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY pounds. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load ca‐ pacity. For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,000 lbs and there will be four 150 lbs passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Loading is 400 lbs: 1,000 lbs minus 600 lbs = 400 lbs. 5. Determine the combined weight of lug‐ gage and cargo being loaded on the vehi‐ cle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. Driving tips Securing cargo Lashing eyes in the trunk Load To secure the cargo there are four lashing eyes in the cargo area. Securing cargo Securing cargo The maximum load is the sum of the weight of the occupants and the cargo. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo that can be transported. Stowing cargo ▷ Do not exceed permissible rear axle load. ▷ Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo. Stow and secure the cargo as described; otherwise it may present a danger to the occu‐ pants, e.g., during braking and evasive maneu‐ vers.◀ ▷ Smaller and lighter items: secure with re‐ taining straps or draw straps. ▷ Larger and heavy objects: secure with cargo straps. Attach the cargo straps, retaining straps or draw straps to the lashing eyes in the trunk. ▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possi‐ ble, directly behind and at the bottom of the rear passenger seat backrests. ▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each of the safety belts in the opposite buckle. ▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests to stow cargo. ▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of the backrests.

The range depends on a number of different factors. The implementation of certain measures, driv‐ ing style and regular maintenance can increase range and thereby also reduce the environ‐ mental impact. Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight reduces the range. Remove attached parts following use Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐ dynamics and increase the energy consump‐ tion. Close the windows and glass sunroof Driving with the glass sunroof and windows open results in increased air resistance and thereby reduces the range. Tires Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before starting on a long trip. Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐ sistance and thus raises energy consumption and tire wear. Standing air conditioning Run advance climate control, refer to page 133, in the vehicle during charging if pos‐ sible before driving off. Heating and cooling operations are very en‐ ergy intensive and substantially reduce the electric range. Look well ahead when driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehi‐ cle driving ahead of you. Driving smoothly and proactively reduces en‐ ergy consumption. Longer braking procedures result in more effi‐ cient charging of the high-voltage battery via energy recovery from braking. Use accelerator pedal for deceleration and coasting General information Tires can affect energy consumption in various ways, for instance energy consumption can be influenced by tire size. 154 Check the tire inflation pressure regularly When approaching a red light, use accelerator pedal for decelerating. For going downhill use coasting function; for this purpose, press accelerator pedal just enough that the vehicle rolls.

It also describes features that are not necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to the selected options or country versions. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. The respectively applicable country provisions must be observed when using the respective features and systems. The concept The vehicle can be charged using various charging cables at charging stations or hous‐ hold sockets. Control and monitoring of the charging process are handled completely au‐ tomatically. The charge current strength can be set by means of the Control Display. General information High-voltage battery The high-voltage battery is used as an energy accumulator. The high-voltage battery can be charged by energy recovery during the trip or via the power grid. Charge current The charge current strength is indicated in am‐ peres. The vehicle cannot automatically detect the maximum permissible charge current strength of the power grid during charging via a house‐ hold socket or charging station. Level 1 charging Prior to the first Level 1 charging at your own household socket, as well as when charging at external electrical power sockets in Level 1, the allowed charge current strength must be determined, e.g. by a qualified electrician. The charge current strength for Level 1 charg‐ ing, refer to page 165, can be adjusted in the vehicle in three steps. At delivery, the charge current for Level 1 charging is set to "Low". Depending on the country-specific version, one of four ampere ratings is printed on the Level 1 charging cable. This ampere rating is the limit which must be adhered to for the vehi‐ cle if the charge current is set to "Maximum". According to the market-specific version, the charge current strength changes differently if the setting "Reduced" or "Low" is selected. "Maximum" "Reduced" "Low" When charging via the power grid, you can chose between the following variants. 8A 6A 6A ▷ Level 1 charging via a household socket. 10 A 7.5 A 6A ▷ Level 2 charging via a Level 2 charging sta‐ tion. 12 A 9A 6A 15 A 11.25 A 7.5 A ▷ Charging via a DC charging station. Level 1 charging is possible via a household socket within a voltage range of 100 volts to 240 volts. For optimal use of the energy from the power grid, charging at a Level 2 charging station, such as BMW i Wallbox, is recommended. 160 Charging at a Level 2 charging station The permitted charge current strength must be determined prior to charging at a Level 2 charging station, e.g. from the operator Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Charging vehicle of the Level 2 charging station. The permitted charge current strength can vary by country. The charge current strength for Level 2 charg‐ ing, refer to page 166, can be adjusted in the vehicle in two steps. At delivery, the charge current for Level 2 charging is set to "Reduced". This set‐ ting should be maintained, unless it was veri‐ fied that a higher charge current strength is permitted in the individual case. The charge current changes depending on the setting. "Maximum" "Reduced" 32 A 20 A Depending on the charge current, the charging duration changes. Range Extender With Range Extender, refer to page 69, switched on, the current charging state can be maintained. In this way, a higher range is ach‐ ieved.

Tire inflation pressure Safety information Only check the tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold. This means after driving no more than 1.25 miles/2 km or when the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. The displays of inflation devices may underread by up to 1.45 psi/0.1 bar. For Flat Tire Monitor: after correcting the tire inflation pressure, reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor. For Tire Pressure Monitor: after correcting the tire inflation pressure, reset the Tire Pressure Monitor. Tire inflation pressure specifications ▷ Driving comfort. The tire inflation pressure table, refer to page 174, contains all tire inflation pressure specifications for the specified tire sizes at the ambient temperature. Tire inflation pressure specifications apply to approved tire sizes and recommended tire brands. This information can be obtained from your service center. Checking the tire inflation pressure To identify the correct tire inflation pressure, please note the following: The tire characteristics and tire inflation pres‐ sure influence the following: ▷ The service life of the tires. ▷ Road safety. Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Regularly check the tire inflation pres‐ sure, and correct it as needed: at least twice a month and before a long trip. If you fail to ob‐ serve this precaution, you may be driving on tires with incorrect tire pressures, a condition that may not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an accident.◀ ▷ Tire sizes of your vehicle. Tire fill pressures To achieve optimum driving comfort, note the pressure specifications in the Tire inflation pressure table, refer to page 174, and adjust as needed. Tires have a natural, consistent loss of tire in‐ flation pressure. Tires heat up while driving, and the tire infla‐ tion pressure increases along with the tire's temperature. The tire inflation pressure speci‐ fications relate to cold tires or tires with the ambient temperature.

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 ma‐ terial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum re‐ quired by law. For example: Treadwear 200; Traction AA; Temperature A DOT Quality Grades Treadwear Traction AA A B C Temperature A B C All passenger car tires must conform to Fed‐ eral Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. Treadwear Temperature grade for this tire The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov‐ ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half, 1 g, times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart signifi‐ cantly from the norm due to variations in driv‐ ing habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics. The temperature grade for this tire is es‐ tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐ tion, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. If necessary, have the vehicle towed.◀ M+S Winter and all-season tires with better cold weather performance than summer tires. Tire tread Summer tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.12 in/3 mm. There is an increased danger of hydroplaning if the tire tread depth is less than 0.12 in/3 mm. Winter tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.16 in/4 mm. Below a tread depth of 0.16 in/4 mm, tires are less suitable for winter operation. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 175 Mobility Wheels and tires Minimum tread depth In case of tire damage If there are indications of tire damage, re‐ duce your speed immediately and have the rims and tires checked right away; otherwise, there is the increased risk of an accident. Drive carefully to the nearest service center. If necessary, have the vehicle towed or trans‐ ported there. Otherwise, tire damage can be‐ come life threatening for vehicle occupants and also other traffic.◀ Wear indicators are distributed around the tire's circumference and have the legally re‐ quired minimum height of 0.063 in/1.6 mm. They are marked on the side of the tire with TWI, Tread Wear Indicator. Tire damage Repair of tire damage For safety reasons, the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you do not have damaged tires repaired; they should be re‐ placed. Otherwise, damage can occur as a re‐ sult.◀ Changing wheels and tires General information Inspect your tires often for damage, foreign objects lodged in the tread, and tread wear. Mounting Hints Have mounting and balancing performed only by a service center. Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can cause serious damage to wheels, tires and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide less cush‐ ioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires. Indications of tire damage or other vehicle de‐ fects: ▷ Unusual vibrations while driving. ▷ Unusual handling such as a strong ten‐ dency to pull to the left or right. Damage can, e. g., be caused by driving over curbs, road damage, or similar things. 176 Information on mounting tires If work is not carried out properly, there is a danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.◀ Wheel and tire combination You can ask the service center about the right wheel/tire combination and wheel rim versions for the vehicle. Incorrect wheel and tire combinations impair the function of a variety of systems such as ABS or DSC. To maintain good handling and vehicle re‐ sponse, use only tires with a single tread con‐ figuration from a single manufacturer. Following tire damage, have the original wheel and tire combination remounted on the vehicle as soon as possible. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Wheels and tires Approved wheels and tires Mobility Retreaded tires You should only use wheels and tires that have been approved by the vehicle manu‐ facturer for your vehicle type; otherwise, e.g., despite having the same official size ratings, variations can lead to chassis contact and with it, the risk of severe accidents Possibly substantial variations in the de‐ sign and age of the tire casing structures can limit service life and have a negative impact on road safety.◀ The manufacturer of your vehicle cannot eval‐ uate non-approved wheels and tires to deter‐ mine if they are suited for use, and therefore cannot guarantee the operating safety of the vehicle.◀ Winter tires are recommended for operating on winter roads. Recommended tire brands Winter tires Although so-called all-season M+S tires pro‐ vide better winter traction than summer tires, they do not provide the same level of perform‐ ance as winter tires. Maximum speed of winter tires If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher than the permissible speed for the winter tires, then a respective symbol is displayed in your field of vision. You can obtain this sign from the tire specialist or from your service center. Maximum speed for winter tires For each tire size, the manufacturer of your ve‐ hicle recommends certain tire brands. These can be identified by a star on the tire sidewall. With proper use, these tires meet the highest standards for safety and handling. New tires Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur‐ ing circumstances when tires are brand-new; they achieve their full traction potential after a break-in time. Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km. Do not exceed the maximum speed for the respective winter tires; otherwise, tire dam‐ age and accidents can occur.◀ Rotating wheels between axles Different wear patterns can occur on the front and rear axles depending on individual driving conditions. The tires can be rotated between the axles to achieve even wear. Your service center will be glad to advise you. After rotating, check the tire pressure and correct if needed. Rotating the tires is not permissible on vehi‐ cles with different tire sizes or rim sizes on the front and rear axles. Storage Retreaded tires The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐ ommend the use of retreaded tires. Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Always protect tires against all contact with oil, grease and fuels. Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres‐ sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.

Vehicle care Car care products BMW recommends using care and cleaning products from BMW, since these have been tested and approved. Car care and cleaning products Follow the instructions on the container. When cleaning the interior, open the doors or windows. Only use products intended for cleaning vehi‐ cles. Cleansers can contain substances that are dangerous and harmful to your health.◀ Vehicle paint Regular care contributes to driving safety and value retention. Environmental influences in areas with elevated air pollution or natural con‐ taminants, such as tree resin or pollen can af‐ fect the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor the fre‐ quency and extent of your car care to these influences. Aggressive substances such as spilled fuel, oil, grease or bird droppings, must be removed im‐ mediately to prevent the finish from being al‐ tered or discolored. Leather care Remove dust from the leather often, using a cloth or vacuum cleaner. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 201 Mobility Care Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased wear and premature degradation of the leather surface. To guard against discoloration, such as from clothing, provide leather care roughly every two months. Chrome surfaces Carefully clean components such as the radia‐ tor grille or door handles with an ample supply of water, possibly with shampoo added, partic‐ ularly when they have been exposed to road salt. Rubber components Clean light-colored leather more frequently be‐ cause soiling on such surfaces is substantially more visible. Aside from water, treat only with rubber cleansers. Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and grease will gradually break down the protective layer of the leather surface. When cleaning rubber seals, do not use any silicon-containing car care products in order to avoid damage or noises. Suitable care products are available from the service center. Fine wood parts Upholstery material care Clean fine wood facing and fine wood compo‐ nents only with a moist rag. Then dry with a soft cloth. Vacuum regularly with a vacuum cleaner. If upholstery is very dirty, e.g., with beverage stains, use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with a suitable interior cleaner. Clean the upholstery down to the seams using large sweeping motions. Avoid rubbing the material vigorously. Damage from Velcro® fasteners Plastic components These include: ▷ Imitation leather surfaces. ▷ Roofliner. ▷ Lamp lenses. ▷ Instrument cluster cover. Open Velcro® fasteners on pants or other articles of clothing can damage the seat covers. Ensure that any Velcro® fasteners are closed.◀ ▷ Matt black spray-coated components. Caring for special components Dampen cloth lightly with water. ▷ Carbon parts in the interior. Clean with a microfiber cloth. Do not soak the roofliner. Light-alloy wheels When cleaning the vehicle, use only neutral wheel cleaners having a pH value from 5 to 9. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or steam jets above 140 ℉/60 ℃. Follow the manufac‐ turer's instructions. Aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents can destroy the protective layer of adjacent components, such as the brake disk. 202 ▷ Painted parts in the interior. No cleansers that contain alcohol or sol‐ vents Do not use cleansers that contain alcohol or solvents, such as lacquer thinners, heavy-duty grease removers, fuel, or such; this could lead to surface damage.◀ Safety belts Dirty belt straps impede the reeling action and thus have a negative impact on safety. Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 960 865 - II/15 Care Chemical cleaning Do not clean chemically; this can destroy the webbing.◀ Use only a mild soapy solution, with the safety belts clipped into their buckles. Do not allow the reels to retract the safety belts until they are dry. Carpets and floor mats No objects in the area around the pedals Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other objects out of the pedal area; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving and create the risk of an accident. Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be properly attached to floor. Ensure that the floor mats are securely fas‐ tened again after they were removed for clean‐ ing, e.g.◀ Floor mats can be removed from the car's inte‐ rior for cleaning. If the floor carpets are very dirty, clean with a microfiber cloth and water or a textile cleaner. To prevent matting of the carpet, rub back and forth in the direction of travel only. Sensor/camera lenses To clean sensors and camera lenses, use a cloth moistened with a small amount of glass detergent. Displays/monitors Cleaning displays and screens Mobility Keeping out moisture Keep all fluids and moisture away from the unit; otherwise, electrical components can be damaged.◀ Avoid pressure Avoid pressing too hard when cleaning and do not use abrasive materials; otherwise, damage can result.◀ Clean with a clean, antistatic microfiber cloth. Long idle times and long-term vehicle storage Do not allow the vehicle to sit idle for ex‐ tended periods with a low charging state Before storing the vehicle for an extended pe‐ riod, check the battery charge indicator to en‐ sure that the high-voltage battery is fully charged. For longer idle times, park the vehicle with a charging plug plugged into a suitable power source. Regularly check charging state. Otherwise, the high-voltage battery can be damaged when there is excessive discharge.◀ For idle phases that last several weeks, park the vehicle with a fully charged battery if possi‐ ble. Do not park the vehicle for longer than 14 days if the electric range is less than 6 mls, approx. 10 km. With storage times of up to three months, if possible plug the vehicle into a suitable power source or park it in a nearly fully charged state. Note The service center can advise you on what to consider when storing the vehicle for longer than three months.
