Vehicle features and options This Owner's Manual describes all models and all standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series.
Therefore, in this Owner's Manual, we also de‐ scribe and illustrate features that are not avail‐ able in your vehicle, e.g., because of the se‐ lected optional features or the country-specific version. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. The respectively applicable country provisions must be observed when using the respective features and systems. For any options and equipment not described in this Owner's Handbook, refer to the Supple‐ mentary Owner's Handbooks. On right-hand drive vehicles, some controls are arranged differently from what is shown in the illustrations. Status of the Owner's Manual Basic information The manufacturer of your vehicle pursues a policy of constant development that is con‐ ceived to ensure that our vehicles continue to embody the highest quality and safety stan‐ dards. In rare cases, therefore, the features de‐ scribed in this Owner's Manual may differ from those in your vehicle.
Updates made after the editorial deadline Any updates made after the editorial deadline can be found in the appendix of the printed Owner's Handbook for Vehicle.Own safety Warranty Your vehicle is technically configured for the operating conditions and registration require‐ ments applying in the country of first delivery also known as homologation. If your vehicle is to be operated in a different country it might be necessary to adapt your vehicle to potentially differing operating conditions and permit re‐ quirements. If your vehicle does not comply with the homologation requirements in a cer‐ tain country you may not be able to lodge war‐ ranty claims for your vehicle there. Further in‐ formation on warranty is available from a dealer’s service center.
Maintenance and repairs Advanced technology, e.g., the use of modern materials and high-performance electronics, requires suitable maintenance and repair work. The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends that you entrust corresponding procedures to a BMW dealer’s service center. If you choose to use another service facility, BMW recom‐ mends use of a facility that performs work, e.g. Maintenance and repair, according to BMW specifications with properly trained personnel, referred to in this Owner's Manual as 'another qualified service center or repair shop'.
If work is performed improperly, e.g. Mainte‐ nance and repair, there is a risk of subsequent damage and related safety risks. Parts and accessories BMW recommends the use of parts and ac‐ cessory products approved by BMW. Approved parts and accessories, and advice on their use and installation are available from a BMW dealer's service center.
BMW parts and accessories were tested by BMW for their safety and suitability in BMW vehicles.Seite 7Information7 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 963 464 - VI/15. BMW warrants genuine BMW parts and acces‐ sories. BMW does not evaluate whether each individ‐ ual product from another manufacturer can be used with BMW vehicles without presenting a safety hazard, even if a country-specific official approval was issued.
BMW does not evaluate whether these products are suitable for BMW vehicles under all usage conditions. California Proposition 65 Warning California laws require us to state the following warning: Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automo‐ bile components and parts, including compo‐ nents found in the interior furnishings in a vehi‐ cle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other repro‐ ductive harm. Battery posts, terminals and re‐ lated accessories contain lead and lead com‐ pounds.

Your vehicle is covered by the fol‐ lowing warranties:▷New Vehicle Limited Warranty.▷Rust Perforation Limited Warranty.▷Federal Emissions System Defect War‐ ranty.▷Federal Emissions Performance Warranty.▷California Emission Control System Lim‐ ited Warranty.
Detailed information about these warranties is listed in the Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models or in the Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models. Your vehicle has been specifically adapted and designed to meet the particular operating con‐ ditions and homologation requirements in your country and continental region in order to de‐ liver the full driving pleasure while the vehicle is operated under those conditions. If you wish to operate your vehicle in another country or region, you may be required to adapt your ve‐ hicle to meet different prevailing operating conditions and homologation requirements. You should also be aware of any applicable warranty limitations or exclusions for such country or region.
In such case, please contact Customer Relations for further information. Maintenance Maintain the vehicle regularly to sustain the road safety, operational reliability and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Specifications for required maintenance meas‐ ures:▷BMW Maintenance system▷Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US models▷Warranty and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models If the vehicle is not maintained according to these specifications, this could result in seri‐ ous damage to the vehicle. Such damage is not covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty. 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: Seite 8Information8 Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 963 464 - VI/15. ▷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 employees of the dealer’s service center or another qualified service cen‐ ter or repair shop, including the manufacturer, using special diagnostic 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 continu‐ ous 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.
