The individual vehicle

On purchasing your BMW, you have

decided in favor of a model with individua-

lized equipment and features. This Owner's

Manual describes the entire array of

options and equipment available with a

speciﬁc BMW model.

Please bear in mind that the manual may

contain information on accessories and

equipment that you have not speciﬁed for

your own vehicle. Sections describing

options and special equipment are marked

by asterisks * to assist you in identifying

possible diﬀerences between the descrip-

tions in this manual and your own vehicle's

equipment.

Should your BMW be equipped with fea-

tures or accessories not described in this

manual, please consult the enclosed sup-

plementary manual(s).

Editorial notice

BMW pursues a policy of continuous,

ongoing development that is conceived to

ensure that our vehicles continue to

embody the highest quality and safety

standards combined with advanced, state-

of-the-art technology. For this reason, it is

possible that the features described in this

Owner's Manual could diﬀer from those on

your vehicle. Nor can errors and omissions

be entirely ruled out. You are therefore

asked to appreciate that no legal claims

can be entertained on the basis of the data,

illustrations or descriptions in this Owner's

Manual.

Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 157 197 - © 11/02 BMW AG

Notes

For your own safety

Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels

containing up to and including

10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up

to 2.8% oxygen by weight – that is,

15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equiv-

alent amount of co-solvent – will not void

the applicable warranties with respect to

defects in materials or workmanship. Field

experience has indicated signiﬁcant diﬀer-

ences in fuel quality – volatility, composi-

tion, additives, etc. – among gasolines

oﬀered for sale in the United States and

Canada. The use of poor-quality fuels may

result in driveability, starting and stalling

problems especially under certain environ-

mental conditions such as high ambient

temperature and high altitude.

Should you encounter driveability prob-

lems which you suspect could be related to

the fuel you are using, we recommend that

you respond by switching to a recognized

high-quality brand.

Failure to comply with these recommenda-

tions may result in unscheduled mainte-

nance.

Follow the relevant safety rules when you

are handling gasoline. <

Important safety information

For your own safety, use genuine

parts and accessories approved by

BMW.

When you purchase accessories tested

and approved by BMW and Original BMW

Parts, you simultaneously acquire the

assurance that they have been thoroughly

tested by BMW to ensure optimum perfor-

mance when installed on your vehicle.

BMW warrants these parts to be free from

defects in material and workmanship.

BMW will not accept any liability for

damage resulting from installation of parts

and accessories not approved by BMW.

BMW cannot test every product made by

other manufacturers to verify if it can be

used on a BMW safely and without risk to

either the vehicle, its operation, or its occu-

pants.

Original BMW Parts, BMW Accessories

and other products approved by BMW,

together with professional advice on using

these items, are available from all BMW

centers.

Installation and operation of non-BMW

approved accessories such as alarms,

radios, ampliﬁers, radar detectors, wheels,

suspension components, brake dust

shields, telephones – including operation of

any mobile phone from within the vehicle

without using an externally mounted

antenna – or transceiver equipment, for

instance, CBs, walkie-talkie, ham radio or

similar accessories, may cause extensive

damage to the vehicle, compromise its

safety, interfere with the vehicle's electrical

system or aﬀect the validity of the BMW

Limited Warranty. See your BMW center for

additional information.<

Maintenance, replacement, or repair

of the emission control devices and

systems may be performed by any automo-

tive repair establishment or individual using

any certiﬁed automotive part.<

Voice command

Voice command system

The concept

The voice command system allows you to

control operation of various vehicle sys-

tems without ever removing your hands

from the steering wheel. The system oper-

ates on the basis of voice commands that

you will learn easily after using them a few

times. In many cases, the voice command

system supports you with announcements

or questions while you are making your

entries.

The voice command system transforms

your oral commands and dialog answers

into control signals for the selected sys-

tems.

Please take the time to acquaint your-

self with how a particular system

operates before proceeding to control it

using the voice command system.<

Safety feature

If the force rises beyond a predeﬁned

threshold during closing, the system will

immediately stop moving the window prior

to lowering it slightly.

Despite this safety feature you should

always inspect the window's travel

path prior to closing it, as the safety system

might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-

tions, such as very thin objects, and the

window would continue closing.

Pulling the switch beyond the pressure

point and holding it limits the response of

the safety feature. Under these conditions

the window will respond to forces beyond a

deﬁned threshold by only opening several

millimeters.

If you again pull the switch past the pres-

sure point and hold it in position within a

period of roughly 4 seconds, the safety fea-

ture will be deactivated. <

Adjustments

Vehicle Memory, Key

Memory

How the system functions

Doubtless you have often reflected on how

great it would be if you could configure

your vehicle's various adjustment settings

to meet your own personal requirements. In

developing your vehicle, BMW has incor-

porated a number of options for personal

adjustment which you can set in the Con-

trol Center. You can have these pro-

grammed at your BMW center.

The available configuration settings fall into

two categories, according to whether their

primary orientation is the vehicle – Vehicle

Memory – or the individual – Key Memory.

You can have up to four different basic set-

tings adjusted for four different persons.

The only requirement is that each person

uses his or her own remote control.

When your vehicle is unlocked with the

remote control, the vehicle recognizes the

individual user by means of a data

exchange with the key, and makes adjust-

ments accordingly.

Color-coded decals are provided to help

you distinguish the individual remote con-

trol units with their different settings.

What the system can do

Please contact your BMW center for more

information on the range of options avail-

able with Vehicle Memory and Key

Memory.

You will see this symbol throughout

the Owner's Manual. It is to remind

you at appropriate places of the settings

that are available to you. These positions

can be looked up in the index under the

respective keyword.<

Following configuration of the

memory functions, vehicle operation

may differ from the description in the

Owner's Manual. Should you want to sell

your BMW some day, please remember to

have the memory functions reset to the

default state.<

Examples of Vehicle Memory

Driving

Starting the engine

Do not run the engine in closed

rooms, as otherwise the inhaling of

toxic exhaust gases can cause uncon-

sciousness and death. The exhaust gases

contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and

colorless, but highly toxic gas.

Never leave an unattended vehicle with the

engine running, as such a vehicle repre-

sents a potential safety hazard.<

1. Insert the remote control unit all the way

into the ignition lock

2. Depress the brake pedal

3. Briefly press the start/stop button.

Your BMW is equipped with the con-

venience starting feature. After

depressing the brake pedal, all you need to

do is briefly press the start/stop button.

The system responds by automatically

engaging the starter and allowing it to run

until the engine starts, after which it then

disengages automatically.

The automatic starting mode will not

operate or will be canceled if the battery

voltage is low. The engine can be started

by jump-starting, refer to page .202 <

Do not allow the engine to warm up by

leaving it running while the vehicle remains

stationary. Instead, begin to drive immedi-

ately at a moderate engine speed.

If you have accidentally switched off

the engine while driving, it can be

restarted from a speed of approx. 3 mph/

5 km/h by pressing the button. It is not

necessary to depress the brake pedal. <

Under the following conditions you should

press the accelerator pedal halfway down

when starting:

>If the engine fails to start on the first

attempt, for instance, if it is very hot or

cold

>During a cold start at high altitudes,

from approx. 3,281 ft/1,000 m, at very

low temperatures, from approx. + 5 /7

–15 6.

Refrain from starting the vehicle

repeatedly at brief intervals, and

avoid an excessive number of starting

attempts if the vehicle fails to start;

repeated activation of the starter over an

extended period would allow unburned or

only partially combusted fuel to enter the

catalytic converter, where it can cause

overheating and damage to the unit.<

Switching off the engine

With the vehicle stationary, briefly press the

start/stop button. This also activates the

radio mode.

Should exceptional circumstances

render it necessary for you to switch

off the engine while the vehicle is moving,

press the start/stop button for approxi-

mately 1 second.

If you maintain pressure on the start/stop

button for longer than two seconds while

switching off the ignition, the remote con-

trol unit will be ejected. <

Always remove the remote control

unit from the ignition lock before

leaving the vehicle.<

Parking brake

The concept

Your BMW is equipped with an electrome-

chanical parking brake.

The parking brake is primarily intended to

prevent the vehicle from rolling while

parked.

At a glanceControlsDriving tipsCommunications NavigationEntertainmentMobilityReference

You have two separate options for

engaging the parking brake:

>Manually, by brieﬂy pressing the button

>Automatically, through activation of the

Automatic Hold mode, refer to page 64.

An electrohydraulic mechanism then

engages the parking brake to prevent the

rear wheels from turning whenever you

switch oﬀ the engine.

When the engine is running, parking brake

engagement is controlled by the brake

system's hydraulic circuits, which act on

the disc brakes at the front and rear

wheels.

Brake pedal feel

Because this function is activated using the

brake system's hydraulic circuits, the

response of the brake pedal may change

slightly. Engagement may also be accom-

panied by activation noise – this is normal.

Manual engagement

Press the button brieﬂy, the

word PARK appears brieﬂy in

the Info Display. With the

parking brake set, the indicator

lamp lights up red in the

Info Display, refer to page . 14

With the ignition oﬀ, the indicator

lamp goes out after a brief

period. <

Manual release

With the ignition on, brieﬂy

press the button: the indicator

lamp in the Info Display goes

out.

Provided that the remote control unit

is engaged in the ignition lock, you

can also release the parking brake after the

engine has been switched oﬀ. This function

is intended for use in automatic car

washes, etc. <

When leaving the vehicle, always

release the remote control unit from

the detent in the ignition lock; this precau-

tion prevents children from disengaging the

parking brake, etc.

The parking brake can still be engaged at

any time when the remote control unit is

released from the detent. It is only possible

to disengage the parking brake with the

ignition on.<

If exceptional circumstances should

make it necessary to engage the

parking brake while the vehicle is in motion,

maintain pressure on the button.

The indicator lamp appears in red in the

Info Display. A gong sounds at the same

time.

The brake lamps come on.

The vehicle continues to brake automati-

cally for as long as you maintain pressure

on the button. <

When you brake the vehicle to a vir-

tual stop, i.e., down to a speed of

approximately 2 mph/3 km/h or below, the

parking brake remains engaged.

The indicator lamp in the Info Display

lights up red. Press the button brieﬂy to

disengage the parking brake manually. <

Automatic Hold

You can activate this feature after starting

the engine; it then remains operational until

the next time the engine is switched oﬀ.

This feature provides supplementary sup-

port during vehicle operation by automati-

cally engaging and releasing the parking

brake during stops at traﬃc lights, in stop-

At a glanceControlsDriving tipsCommunications NavigationEntertainmentMobilityReference

For your safety

Automatic Hold is automatically deacti-

vated when

>the engine is switched oﬀ

>the system detects that the driver's seat

is not occupied while the engine is run-

ning

>the hood is opened while the engine is

running

>the luggage compartment is opened

with the transmission in reverse while

the engine is running, and

>when the parking brake is used to bring

the vehicle to a stop.

The indicator lamp changes from

green to red, and the AUTO P letters in the

Info Display disappear.

brake is engaged. The vehicle could start to

roll if you fail to observe these precautions.

Never leave an unattended vehicle with the

engine running, as such a vehicle repre-

sents a potential safety hazard. <

Automatic Hold is automatically

deactivated whenever the system

detects any tendency for the wheels to spin

in response to slippery road surfaces. Note

the status reports in the Check Control.

You can ﬁnd more detailed information on

Check Control on page . 85 <

Malfunctions

If a malfunction occurs, the indicator

lamp lights up yellow in the Info Dis-

play and a status report will appear in the

Check Control. Please note any supple-

mentary information that appears in the

Control Display.

Releasing the parking brake

manually

You can respond to any interruptions in the

supply of electrical power, for instance, if

the battery is discharged or disconnected,

by releasing the parking brake manually.

Before proceeding to release the

parking brake manually, and each

time you park the vehicle without engaging

the parking brake, always ensure that the

automatic transmission's selector lever is

in position P, refer to page . Note the 67

range indicated in the Info Display.

If it is not possible to avoid parking on an

extremely steep slope, use some supple-

mentary means, such as a wheel chock, to

make certain that the vehicle will not roll,

refer to page . Otherwise the danger 198

exists that the vehicle could roll when

parked on a very steep hill. <

Should it also be necessary to release the

automatic transmission's lockout manually,

for instance, if the battery is discharged,

always adhere to the following sequence:

1. If necessary, start by manually releasing

the parking brake

selected distance setting as slower traﬃc

is encountered.

Active cruise control is a technological

advance over the familiar cruise control

and is a welcome relief from the constant

adjustment of speed that can accompany

driving in traﬃc on freeways or other high-

speed thoroughfares. Especially on longer

Driving

speed then displayed is stored and

reached on a clear road.

2 Desired speed store and decrease

Pull back the lever:

The current driving speed is rounded off to

the next 5-mile place (10 km/h), displayed

and stored.

Each time the lever is pulled back again,

the desired speed is decreased by another

5 mph (10 km/h) until the minimum speed

of 20 mph (30 km/h) is reached. The speed

then displayed is stored and reached on a

clear road.

3 Deactivate system

Press the lever up or down while the

system is active. The displays in the speed-

ometer disappear. You can use the system

again as required.

In addition, the system is deactivated auto-

matically:

>when you apply pressure to the brake

pedal

>when you select the automatic trans-

mission’s neutral range N

>when you deactivate the Dynamic Sta-

bility Control DSC

>when you actuate the parking brake

during driving

>when the system reduces the speed to

below 20 mph (30 km/h) due to a traffic

situation.

The system deactivates automatically

when the speed is set to below

20 mph (30 km/h). A gong sounds and a

message appears in the Check Control.

The active intervention of the driver is

required. <

Background lighting

You can switch off the background lighting

of the speedometer and tachometer

>when you have deactivated the system

>when the prewarning field in the

tachometer has gone out, refer to

page 82

>when the destination guidance system

of the navigation system is deactivated.

Press the lever up or down for approx.

1 second.

4 Resume to stored desired speed

and distance setting

Press button : 4

The displays appear in the speedometer.

The system is reactivated and uses the last

stored desired speed and distance setting.

4 Fine adjustment of desired speed

In the activated state, the desired speed

increases by 1 mph (1 km/h) each time

button is pressed briefly. 4

5 Select distance

You can choose from four distance steps.

>Rotary switch upward:

Increase distance

>Rotary switch downward:

Decrease distance.

The selected distance is displayed in the

speedometer.

braking system capacity and does not uti-

lize the full capacity of the vehicle braking

system. Therefore, the system cannot

decrease your speed for large diﬀerences

in speed between your vehicle and the

vehicle ahead. Examples: during emer-

gency braking, when you approach a

vehicle traveling at a much lower speed

than your own speed such as approaching

a toll booth or when a much slower vehicle

cuts in front of you at close range. <

Whenever active cruise control

recognizes a situation that

requires driver braking because

the system capacity has been

reached or has been exceeded,

the system alerts the driver by ﬂashing this

symbol in the instrument cluster and

sounding a chime.

Swerving vehicles

When a vehicle moves from an adjacent

lane into your lane, active cruise control will

not recognize this vehicle until it is fully in

your lane ahead of your vehicle.

Malfunctions

The build-up of foreign material – e.g.,

snow, ice, dirt, road debris, etc. – can lead

to reduced detection performance of active

cruise control. You should check the

sensor under the front bumper and clean it

as necessary prior to driving your vehicle. If

the sensor becomes covered by foreign

material or has a malfunction, it is possible

that the sensor will no longer be able to

detect vehicles in front of you. After the

system recognizes that the sensor is no

longer functional, a message is displayed

in the Check Control and an acoustic signal

is emitted, refer to page . Also observe 85

the additional information provided in the

Control Center.

Check the tire inflation pressure regu-

larly and correct it if necessary, refer

to page .185

Do not initialize the system when snow

chains are fitted. False alarms and unde-

tected loss of pressure may occur in such

situations.

When driving on snow-covered or slippery

surfaces, it may take some time for a loss of

tire pressure to be indicated.

A sports driving style – spinning of the

driven wheels, high lateral accelerations –

can likewise result in a delayed response

from the Flat Tire Monitor.<

System malfunctions

The symbol will appear in yellow in the

Check Control and a message will appear.

Please refer to the additional information

supplied in the Control Display, and have

the system inspected at your BMW center.

TPM Tire Pressure Monitor*

The concept

TPM monitors inflation pressures in all four

tires while you drive. The system provides

an alert whenever the inflation pressure

drops significantly below the specified

pressure in one or more tires.

To initialize TPM, start by checking the

inflation pressures in all four tires and com-

paring them with those specified in the

table on page , correcting them as nec-185

essary.Then proceed to initialize the

system.

This symbol will appear in the

Check Control to inform you when

the inflation pressure varies from

that stored in the system. A text message

appears at the same time.

Please take note of the additional informa-

tion in the Control Display.

You can find more information on the

Check Control starting on page .85

The TPM cannot alert you to severe

and sudden tire damage caused by

external factors.<

Initializing the system

1. With the vehicle parked, switch on the

ignition

2. Select "TPM" from the "Settings" menu

and confirm your selection. The initial-

ization menu appears.

"INITIALIZE"

1. Select and confirm

2. TPM is initialized. A message appears

in the Check Control

3. After several minutes of driving TPM will

adopt the tires' current inflation pres-

sures as its references.

The current data appear in the Control

Display. These figures are more accu-

rate than those that appear on the infla-

tion gauges at filling stations, etc.

The only time you will need to repeat this

procedure is after correcting your tire pres-

sures. Because TPM automatically

assumes operation each time you switch

on the ignition, it is on duty whenever you

drive.

If the system detects a flat tire during

the initialization process, the tires in

the Control Display will appear in red. <
