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
speciļ¬c BMW model.
Please bear in mind that the manual may
contain information on accessories and
equipment that you have not speciļ¬ed for
your own vehicle. Sections describing
options and special equipment are marked
by asterisks * to assist you in identifying
possible diļ¬€erences 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 diļ¬€er 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.

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 ā€“ that is,
15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equiv-
alent amount of co-solvent ā€“ will not void
the applicable warranties with respect to
defects in materials or workmanship. Field
experience has indicated signiļ¬cant diļ¬€er-
ences in fuel quality ā€“ volatility, composi-
tion, additives, etc. ā€“ among gasolines
oļ¬€ered 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, ampliļ¬ers, radar detectors, wheels,
suspension components, brake dust
shields, telephones ā€“ including operation of
any mobile phone from within the vehicle
without using an externally mounted
antenna ā€“ 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 aļ¬€ect 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 certiļ¬ed automotive part.<

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.<

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
deļ¬ned 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. <

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 ā€“ Vehicle
Memory ā€“ or the individual ā€“ 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.<

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
ā€“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.
Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 157 197 - Ā© 11/02 BMW AG
At a glanceControlsDriving tipsCommunications NavigationEntertainmentMobilityReference
63
You have two separate options for
engaging the parking brake:
>Manually, by brieļ¬‚y 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 oļ¬€ 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 ā€“ this is normal.
Manual engagement
Press the button brieļ¬‚y, the
word PARK appears brieļ¬‚y 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 oļ¬€, the indicator
lamp goes out after a brief
period. <
Manual release
With the ignition on, brieļ¬‚y
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 oļ¬€. 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 brieļ¬‚y 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 oļ¬€.
This feature provides supplementary sup-
port during vehicle operation by automati-
cally engaging and releasing the parking
brake during stops at traļ¬ƒc lights, in stop-

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 ļ¬nd 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
2. Then release the automatic transmis-
sion's lockout manually, refer to

Active cruise control*
The concept
With active cruise control you can select a
desired speed which is not only automati-
cally maintained when driving on open
roadways, but also varied to maintain a
selected distance setting as slower traļ¬ƒc
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 traļ¬ƒc on freeways or other high-
speed thoroughfares. Especially on longer

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-
missionā€™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

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 diļ¬€erences
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 ļ¬‚ashing 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 ā€“ e.g.,
snow, ice, dirt, road debris, etc. ā€“ 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 ā€“ spinning of the
driven wheels, high lateral accelerations ā€“
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. <
