In this case, perform the reset. Possible distance travelled with a depressurized tire The distance travelled for which it may be possible to drive safely varies depending on how the vehicle is loaded and used, e.g., speed, road conditions, outside temperature. The distance travelled may be less but may also be more if an economical driving style is used. If the vehicle is loaded with an average weight and used under favorable conditions, the distance travelled for which it may be safe to drive may be up to 50 miles/80 km. Vehicle handling with damaged tires Vehicles driven with a damaged tire will handle differently, potentially leading to conditions such as the following: ▷ Greater likelihood of skidding of the vehicle. ▷ Longer braking distances. ▷ Changed self-steering properties. Modify your driving style. Avoid abrupt steering maneuvers or driving over obstacles, for instance curbs or potholes. Final tire failure Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indicate the final failure of a tire. Reduce speed and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could come loose and cause an accident. Do not continue driving. Contact a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop. Driving or exposure to the sun will increase the tire 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. Sudden tire pressure loss The system cannot indicate sudden serious tire damage caused by external circumstances. Failure performing a reset The system does not function properly if a reset has not been carried out, for instance a flat tire is reported though tire inflation pressures are correct. Malfunction The yellow warning light flashes and is then illuminated continuously. A Check Control message is displayed. It may not be possible to identify tire pressure losses. Examples and recommendations in the following situations: ▷ A wheel without wheel electronics is mounted: have it checked by a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop as needed. ▷ A wheel without wheel electronics, for instance an emergency wheel, is mounted: have it checked by a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop as needed. ▷ Malfunction: have system checked by a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.

Declaration according to NHTSA/ FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring System Each tire, including the spare (if provided) should be checked monthly when cold and inflated 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 pressure 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 pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency 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 indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. CONTROLS TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale 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. Flat Tire Monitor Principle The system detects tire pressure loss on the basis of rotation speed differences between the individual wheels while driving. In the event of a tire pressure loss, the diameter and therefore the rotational speed of the corresponding wheel changes. The difference will be detected and reported as a flat tire. The system does not measure the actual inflation pressure in the tires. Functional requirements The following prerequisites must be met for the system; otherwise, reliable message of a tire pressure loss is not assured: ▷ After a tire or wheel change, an initialization was performed with the correct tire inflation pressure. ▷ After the tire pressure was adjusted to a new value, an initialization was performed.

System limits The function may be limited in the following situations and may issue an incorrect warning or no warning at all: ▷ When the time is set incorrectly. Warning The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing one's physical state. An increasing lack of alertness or fatigue may not be detected or not be detected in time. There is a risk of accident. Make sure that the driver is rested and alert. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Function The system is switched on each time the engine is started and cannot be switched off. After start of the trip, the system monitors certain aspects of the driver's behavior, so that decreasing alertness or fatigue can be detected. This procedure takes the following criteria into account: ▷ Personal driving style, for instance steering behavior. ▷ Driving conditions, for instance time, length of trip. ▷ When the vehicle speed is mainly below about 43 mph/70 km/h. ▷ With a sporty driving style, such as during rapid acceleration or when cornering fast. ▷ In active driving situations, such as when changing lanes frequently. ▷ When the road condition is poor. ▷ In the event of strong side winds. The system is reset approx. 45 minutes after parking the vehicle, for instance in the case of a break during longer trips on highways. PostCrash – iBrake Principle In the event of an accident, the system can bring the vehicle to a halt automatically without intervention by the driver in certain situations. This can reduce the risk of a further collision and the consequences thereof. Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 161 Safety CONTROLS Harder vehicle deceleration In certain situations, it can be necessary to bring the vehicle to a halt more quickly than the Brake Assistant allows. To do this, quickly apply extra force to the brake. For a brief period, the brake pressure will be higher than the brake pressure that is achieved by the automatic braking function. This interrupts automatic brake actuation. Canceling automatic braking It can be necessary to interrupt automatic braking in certain situations, for example for an evasive maneuver. Canceling automatic braking: ▷ By pressing the brake pedal. ▷ By pressing the accelerator pedal. At standstill After coming to a halt, the brake is released automatically. 162 Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 Driving stability control systems CONTROLS Driving stability control systems Vehicle features and options This chapter describes all standard, countryspecific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features and functions that are not necessarily available in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected options or country versions. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations must be observed. Anti-lock Braking System The Antilock Braking System prevents locking of the wheels during braking. The vehicle maintains its steerability even during emergency braking, which increases the active driving safety. The Antilock Braking System is ready after each engine start. Brake assistant When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically boosts the vehicle braking capability to the furthest possible extent. It reduces the braking distance to a minimum during emergency braking. This system utilizes all of the capabilities provided by the Antilock Brake System. Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal for the duration of emergency braking. Automatic Differential Brake The system controls the driving power by automatic brake intervention on individual wheels. The function corresponds to a differential lock: the system detects if a wheel begins to spin, because of loose road surface, for instance and automatically brakes it. The driving power is diverted to the wheel with better traction. As a result, the engine force is transferred more efficiently to the wheels during accelerations. Dynamic Stability Control Principle Within the physical limits, the system helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing engine power and by applying brake intervention to the individual wheels. General information Dynamic Stability Control will detect, e.g., the following unstable driving conditions: ▷ Skidding, which can lead to oversteering. ▷ Loss of adhesion of the front wheels, which can lead to understeering. Dynamic Traction control, refer to page 165, is a version of the Dynamic Stability Control where drive power is optimized. Safety information Warning The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 163 Driving stability control systems CONTROLS closely, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene where appropriate. Deactivate Dynamic Stability Control: DSC OFF General information Warning When driving with a roof load, for instance with roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle's center of gravity is higher, which increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situations. There may be a risk of accident or risk of damage to property. Driving with roof load only with activated Dynamic Stability Control. Overview When the Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated, driving stability is limited when accelerating and cornering. To support driving stability, reactivate Dynamic Stability Control as soon as possible. Deactivating the system Press and hold this button but not longer than approx. 10 seconds, until the indicator light for DSC OFF lights up in the instrument cluster and displays DSC OFF. Dynamic Stability Control is switched off. Button in the vehicle Activating the system Press the button. DSC OFF and the DSC OFF indicator light turn off. Indicator/warning lights If the Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated, DSC OFF is displayed in the instrument cluster. DSC OFF button Indicator light illuminates: Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated. Indicator/warning lights Indicator light blinks: Dynamic Stability Control controls the drive and brake forces. Indicator light illuminates: the Dynamic Stability Control has malfunctioned. Automatic activation If Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated, it is automatically activated in the following situations: ▷ The vehicle has a flat tire. ▷ When activating cruise control in TRACTION or DSC OFF mode. 164 Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 Driving stability control systems CONTROLS Dynamic Traction Control Performance Control Principle Performance Control enhances the agility of the vehicle. The Dynamic Traction Control is a variant of the Driving Stability Control where the drive power is optimized. The system ensures maximum drive power on unusual road conditions, for instance unplowed snow covered roads, or loose road surfaces, but with somewhat limited driving stability. When the Dynamic Traction Control is activated, there is maximum traction. Driving stability is limited during acceleration and when cornering. Drive carefully. A brief activation of the Dynamic Traction Control may be useful in the following exceptional situations: ▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared, snow-covered roads. ▷ When driving off from deep snow or loose ground. ▷ When driving with tire chains. Activating/deactivating the Dynamic Traction Control Activating the system Press the button. TRACTION is displayed in the instrument cluster and the indicator light for DSC OFF lights up. Deactivating the system Press the button again. TRACTION and the DSC OFF indicator light turn off. To increase maneuverability, wheels are braked individually when a sporty driving style is used. xDrive xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of the vehicle. xDrive and Dynamic Stability Control work together to optimize the traction and driving dynamics. The xDrive all-wheel-drive system variably distributes the drive forces to the front and rear axles as demanded by the driving situation and road condition. Hill Descent Control Principle Hill Descent Control is a downhill control feature that adjusts the vehicle speed on steep downhill gradients, e.g., when driving on unpaved roads. When the system is active, the vehicle moves at the speed set by the driver, without the driver having to depress the brake pedal. While Hill Descent Control is adjusting the speed, the system automatically distributes the brake force to the individual wheels. This improves driving stability and steerability. If necessary, the Antilock Braking System prevents the wheels from locking. General information The system can be activated below approx. 25 mph/40 km/h. Speeds can be set between approx. 2 mph/3 km/h and approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. When the vehicle is driving downhill, the sys- Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 165 CONTROLS Driving stability control systems tem reduces the speed to the set value, within the physical limits.

Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 Driving stability control systems Servotronic CONTROLS Overview Button in the vehicle Principle Servotronic is a speed-dependent power steering function. The system provides the steering force with more support at low speeds than at higher ones. This makes it easier to park, for instance, and makes steering firmer when driving at faster speeds. Furthermore, the steering force adapts according to the driving program, so that a firm, sporty feel or a comfortable steering response is conveyed. M sports steering The M sports steering creates direct handling by using smaller steering angles. M sports steering features variable steering support that takes the speed and lateral acceleration into account. The system enhances agility and improves handling while maintaining a sporty driving style; for example, in tight corners or during evasive maneuvers. At the same time, it ensures improved comfort during parking, turning, and maneuvering.

Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 221 DRIVING TIPS Loading 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” 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 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. ▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each of the outer seat belts in the opposite buckle. ▷ The cargo area, refer to page 207, can be extended to transport large or bulky cargo. ▷ Do not stack cargo above the upper edge of the backrests. ▷ Smaller and light cargo: secure with luggage straps or draw straps. ▷ Larger and heavy cargo: secure with cargo straps. Lashing eyes in the cargo area Payload The number of lashing eyes in the cargo area may vary depending on the equipment The maximum payload 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. Attach auxiliary materials to secure the cargo, such as lashing straps, tensioning straps, draw straps or cargo nets, to the lashing eyes in the cargo area. Roof-mounted luggage rack Stowing and securing cargo General information ▷ Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo. Roof racks are available as optional accessories. Installation only possible with roof rack. ▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possible, directly behind and at the bottom of the rear seat backrests. 222 Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 Loading DRIVING TIPS Safety information Warning When driving with a roof load, for instance with roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle's center of gravity is higher, which increases the risk of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situations. There may be a risk of accident or risk of damage to property. Driving with roof load only with activated Dynamic Stability Control. Installation Follow the assembly instructions of the roof rack. Loading Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle handling and steering response. Therefore, note the following when loading and driving: ▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle weights and the approved gross vehicle weight. ▷ Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for tilting and opening the glass sunroof. ▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly. ▷ The roof load should not extend past the loading area. ▷ Always place the heaviest pieces on the bottom. ▷ Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance using luggage straps. ▷ Do not let objects project into the swiveling range of the tailgate. ▷ Drive cautiously and avoid driving off and braking with jerky movements or fast cornering.

It also describes features and functions that are not necessarily available in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected options or country versions. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations must be observed. General information The vehicle contains advanced technologies for the reduction of consumption and emission values. Fuel consumption depends on a number of different factors. Carrying out certain measures, such as a moderate driving style and regular maintenance, can influence fuel consumption and the environmental pollution. Remove unnecessary cargo Close the windows and glass sunroof Driving with the glass sunroof and windows open results in increased drag and thereby reduces the range. Tires General information Tires can affect consumption in various ways, for instance tire size may influence consumption. Check the tire pressure regularly 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 resistance and thus raises fuel consumption and tire wear. Drive away immediately Additional weight increases fuel consumption. Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate RPM. Remove attached parts following use This is the fastest way of warming the cold engine up to operating temperature. Remove roof-mounted luggage racks that are no longer required following use. Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aerodynamics and increase the fuel consumption. Anticipating driving A smooth and anticipating driving style reduces fuel consumption. Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle driving ahead of you. 224 Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 Reducing fuel consumption Avoid high RPM Driving at low RPM lowers fuel consumption and reduces wear. DRIVING TIPS Switch off any functions that are not currently needed If necessary, observe the vehicle's gear shift indicator, refer to page 127. Functions such as seat heating and the rear window defroster require a lot of energy and reduce the range, especially in city traffic and with stop-and-go driving. Use coasting/overrun mode Switch off these functions if they are not needed. When approaching a red traffic light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt. The ECO PRO driving mode supports the energy conserving use of comfort features. These functions are automatically deactivated partially or completely. For going downhill take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle roll. The fuel supply is interrupted in coasting/overrun mode. Switch off the engine during longer stops Switching off the engine Switch off the engine during longer stops, for instance at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic jam. Auto Start/Stop function The Auto Start/Stop function of the vehicle automatically switches off the engine during a stop. If the engine is switched off and then restarted rather than leaving the engine running constantly, fuel consumption and emissions are reduced. Savings can begin within a few seconds of an engine stop. In addition, fuel consumption is also determined by other factors, such as driving style, road conditions, maintenance or environmental factors. Have maintenance carried out Have the vehicle maintained regularly to achieve optimal vehicle efficiency and service life. BMW recommends that maintenance work be performed by a dealer's service center. Additional information: BMW maintenance system, refer to page 265.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving 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. MOBILITY Warning The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. Runflat tires Runflat tires, refer to page 244, are labeled with a circular icon containing the letters RSC marked on the tire sidewall. M+S Winter and all-season tires with better cold weather performance than summer tires. Tire tread Summer tires 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 material 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 required by law. Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.12 in/3 mm, otherwise there is an increased risk of aquaplaning. Winter tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.16 in/4 mm, as such tires are less suitable for winter driving conditions. Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 241 Wheels and tires MOBILITY Minimum tread depth ▷ Unusual handling such as a strong tendency to pull to the left or right. ▷ Uneven wear pattern, e.g., increased wear in the area of the tire shoulder. Damage can be caused by the following situations, for instance: ▷ Driving over curbs. ▷ Road damage. ▷ Tire pressure too low. Distributed over the tire circumference are the tire manufacturer’s wear indicators with a height of at least 0.06 in/1.6 mm, which serve as an indicator of tire tread wear. The positions of the wear indicators are marked on the tire sidewall with TWI, Tread Wear Indicator. Irrespective of the wear indicators, observe the statutory regulations on the minimum tread depth. Tire damage General information Check your tires regularly for damage, foreign bodies lodged in the tread, and tread wear. 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 cushioning 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 malfunctions: ▷ Unusual vibrations. ▷ Vehicle overloading. ▷ Incorrect tire storage. Safety information Warning Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pressure, which can lead to loss of vehicle control. There is a risk of accident. If tire damage is suspected while driving, immediately reduce speed and stop. Have wheels and tires checked. For this purpose, drive carefully to the nearest dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop. Have vehicle towed or transported as needed. Do not repair damaged tires, but have them replaced. Warning Tires can become damaged by driving over obstacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tire cross-section. The smaller the tire cross-section, the higher the risk of tire damage. There may be a risk of accidents and risk of damage to property. If possible, avoid driving over objects or road conditions that may damage tires, or drive over them slowly and carefully. ▷ Unusual tire or running noises. 242 Online Edition for Part no. 01405A540A1 - II/22 Wheels and tires Exchanging wheels and tires Installation Have mounting and wheel balancing carried out by a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
