Diesel particulate filter* The diesel particulate filter collects soot parti- cles and burns them periodically at high tem- peratures. This cleaning process takes several minutes. During cleaning, you may notice that the engine temporarily runs less smoothly and that a somewhat higher engine speed is neces- sary to achieve the accustomed performance. Also, noises may be heard and a slight amount of smoke may emerge from the exhaust, even for a short period after the engine is switched off.
Hydroplaning
When driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce road speed. If you do not, a wedge
of water can form between tires and road sur- face. This situation, known as hydroplaning, means that the tire can completely lose contact with the road surface, so that neither the car can be steered nor the brake be properly applied.< The risk of hydroplaning increases with declin- ing tread depth on the tires, refer also to Mini- mum tread depth on page 222.
Driving through water
Drive through water on the road only if it is not deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only
at walking speed at the most. Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the transmission may be damaged.<
Use the parking brake on inclines
On inclines, do not hold the vehicle for a lengthy period using the clutch; use the
parking brake instead. Otherwise, greater clutch wear will result.< For more information about the drive-off assistant, refer to page 87.
Braking safely Your BMW is equipped with ABS as a standard feature. Applying the brakes fully is the most effective way of braking in situations in which this is necessary. Since the vehicle maintains steering responsiveness, you can still avoid possible obstacles with a minimum of steering effort. Pulsation of the brake pedal, combined with sounds from the hydraulic circuits, indicate that ABS is in its active mode.
Driving in wet conditions When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure that this maneuver does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the pads and rotors to ensure that full braking efficiency will then be available when you need it.
Hills
To prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system,
drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Even light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure.< You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, all the way to first gear if neces- sary. This strategy helps you avoid placing excessive loads on the brake system. Down- shifting in manual mode of the automatic trans- mission, refer to page 59.
Never drive with the clutch held down, with the transmission in neutral or with
the engine switched off; otherwise, engine braking action will not be present or there will be no power assistance to the brakes or steering. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the pedals; otherwise, pedal function could be impaired.<
124
Corrosion on brake rotors When the vehicle is driven only occasionally, during extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all, and in operating conditions where brake applications are less frequent, there is an increased tendency for corrosion to form on rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the brake pads. This occurs because the minimum pressure which must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the rotors is not reached. Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating effect that even extended application will fail to cure.
When the vehicle is parked Condensation forms while the automatic cli- mate control is in operation, and then exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water under the vehicle are therefore normal.
Cargo loading
To avoid loading the tires beyond their approved carrying capacity, never over- load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over- heating and increases the rate at which damage develops inside the tires. In some situations, this can result in sudden loss of tire pressure.<
Make sure that no liquids are spilled or leak from their containers in the cargo
area, as this could result in damage to the vehi- cle.<
Determining loading limit
1. Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard*:
The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, overloading can result in damage to the vehicle and unstable driving conditions.<
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 capacity. For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150-lb. pas- sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail- able cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs: 1,400 lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 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. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the manual for transporting a trailer to determine how this may reduce the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Load
The permissible load is the total of the weight of occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo/lug- gage can be transported.
Stowing cargo > Position heavy objects as low and as far for- ward as possible, ideally directly behind the respective seat backrests.
> Cover sharp edges and corners. > For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each safety belt in the opposite buckle.
Sedan
Sports Wagon
126
> Use the partition net to protect passengers,
refer to page 116. Make sure that objects cannot penetrate the partition net.
> Do not stack cargo higher than the upper
edge of the backrests.
> Place protective material around any
objects which could bump against the rear window while the vehicle is in motion.
Securing cargo
> Secure smaller and lighter items using
retaining straps, a cargo area net* or draw straps*.
> Heavy-duty cargo straps* for securing
larger and heavier objects are available at your BMW center. Four* lashing eyes are provided for attaching the cargo straps. Two are located on the cargo area sidewalls 1, two more are on the rear cargo area panel 2. Please comply with the information sup- plied with the cargo straps.
Always position and secure the cargo as described above, so that it cannot endan- ger the car's occupants, for example if sudden braking or swerving is necessary. Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 257; otherwise, excessive loads can pose a safety hazard, and may also place you in violation of traffic safety laws. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car, since they could be thrown around, for example as a result of heavy braking, sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occu- pants.
Only attach the cargo straps using the lashing eyes shown in the illustration. Do not secure cargo with the anchors for tether straps, refer to page 53; otherwise, these could be damaged.<
Roof-mounted luggage rack* A special rack system is available as an option for your BMW. Comply with the directions given in the installation instructions.
Mounting points
The mounting points are located in the roof/ along the roof rails*.
Loading roof-mounted luggage rack Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle handling and steering response. You should therefore always remember not to exceed the approved roof load capacity, the approved gross vehicle weight or the axle loads when loading the rack. You can find the applicable data under Weights on page 257. The roof load must be distributed uniformly and should not be too large in area. Heavy items should always be placed at the bottom. Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for rais- ing the glass roof, and that objects do not project into the opening path of the trunk lid/ tailgate. Fasten roof-mounted cargo correctly and securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off during the trip. Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.
