Changing between mobile phone and hands-free system


From mobile phone to hands-free system* You can continue calls begun outside the Blue- tooth range of the vehicle via the handsfree sys- tem when the engine is running or the ignition is switched on. Depending on your mobile phone, the system automatically switches over to the handsfree mode. For mobile phones that do not automatically switch over to the handsfree mode: > Depending on the mobile phone model


used, the conversation can be continued via the hands-free system if necessary. Act according to what is shown on the mobile phone display, refer to the operating instructions of your mobile phone.


> Press the


button above the storage


compartment. Switching over may take several seconds.


From handsfree system to mobile phone When you telephone via the handsfree system, you can also continue the call via the mobile phone if necessary, depending on the mobile phone model. Act according to what is shown on the mobile phone display, refer to the oper- ating instructions of your mobile phone. As an alternative, you can deactivate the Blue- tooth link. Depending on your mobile phone model, poor reception of the wireless communications net- work can result in the system changing from the hands-free system to the mobile phone.


Operation by voice*


The concept You can operate your mobile phone without having to remove your hands from the steering wheel. When making your entries, you will be


supported by announcements or questions in many cases. The same prerequisites as for operation via iDrive apply, refer to page 214.

This section helps you maintain your mobility by supplying important information on vital topics including fuels and lubricants, wheels and tires, service, maintenance and roadside assistance.


g


Refueling


Switch off the engine before refueling. When handling fuel, always observe all


applicable precautionary measures and regula- tions. Never transport reserve fuel containers in the vehicle. These could become leaky and cause an explosion or a fire in an accident.<


Releasing manually If an electrical malfunction should occur, you can unlock the fuel filler door manually. 1. Open the right-hand side panel in the cargo


bay.


2. Pull the knob with the gas pump symbol.


Fuel filler door


Opening


Observe the following when refueling When handling fuels, follow the safety precautions posted at the filling station. Otherwise, there is a danger of personal injury or property damage.< When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com- pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid raising the filler nozzle during refueling, otherwise this leads to > premature pump shutoff > a reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor


recovery system.


The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle clicks off the first time.


Fuel tank capacity > X5 3.0si:


Approx. 22.5 US gal/85 liters, including the reserve capacity of approx. 2.1 US gal/8 liters


> X5 4.8i:


Approx. 22.5 US gal/85 liters, including the reserve capacity of approx. 2.6 US gal/10 liters


1. Open the fuel filler door. To do this, briefly


press the lower edge.


2. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise. 3. Place the fuel filler cap in the bracket


attached to the fuel filler door.


Closing Fit the cap and turn it clockwise until you clearly hear a click.


Do not crush the band attached to the cap; otherwise, the cap may not properly


seal and fuel vapors can escape.< A message* is displayed if the cap is loose or missing.


232


The use of poor-quality fuels may result in drivability, starting and stalling problems especially under certain environmental condi- tions such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter drivability problems 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 such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these recommendations may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<


Refuel as soon as possible once your cruising range falls below 30 miles/


50 km, otherwise engine functions are not ensured and damage can occur.<


Fuel specifications


Do not use leaded gasoline, otherwise damage to the catalytic converter will


result. Do not use E85, i.e. fuel that consists of 85% ethanol, or Flex Fuel, otherwise permanent damage to the engine and the fuel supply sys- tem will result.<


Required fuel


Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 91
This gasoline is highly recommended. However, you may also use gasoline with less AKI. The minimum AKI Rating is 87. If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI Rat- ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high outside temperatures. This has no affect on the engine life.


Do not use gasoline below the specified minimum quality, otherwise engine dam-


age can result.<


Use high-quality brands Field experience has indicated significant dif- ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. Fuels contain- ing 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 equivalent amount of co-solvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.

Wheels and tires


Tire inflation pressure


Information for your safety The condition of the tires and the maintenance of the specified tire pressure are crucial not only to the tire's service life, but also to driving com- fort and most importantly, driving safety.


Checking pressure Only check tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold. This means after a maximum of 1.25 miles/2 km driving or when the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. When tires are warm, the tire inflation pressure increases.


Check the tire inflation pressure regularly and correct it as needed, even on the


compact tire*: at least twice a month and before starting long trips. If you fail to observe this pre- caution, you may be driving on tires with incor- rect tire pressures, a condition that can not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an acci- dent. Do not drive with depressurized, i.e. flat tires, except run-flat tires. A flat tire will seri- ously impair your vehicle's handling and braking response. Attempts to drive on a flat tire can lead to a loss of control over the vehicle.<


After correcting the tire inflation pressure, reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to


page 92, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to page 94.<


For correct identification of the right tire infla- tion pressure for your tires, observe the follow- ing: > Tire sizes of your vehicle > Load conditions > Maximum allowable driving speed


Tire inflation pressures for speeds up to 100 mph/160 km/h For normal driving up to 100 mph/160 km/h, adjust pressures to the respective tire inflation pressures listed on the following pages in the column Traveling speeds up to max. of 100 mph/160 km/h to achieve optimum driving comfort. These pressure specifications can be found on the door post when you open the driver's door.


The permissible top speed for these tire inflation pressures is 100 mph/160 km/h. Do not exceed this speed, otherwise tire dam- age and accidents may result.<


Pressure specifications The tables below provide all the correct inflation pressures for the specified tire sizes at ambient temperature.


The inflation pressures apply to the tire sizes and tire brands respectively


approved and recommended by BMW; a list of these is available from your BMW Sports Activ- ity Vehicle Center.<


Tire inflation pressures for speeds above 100 mph/160 km/h


In order to drive at maximum speeds in excess of 100 mph/160 km/h, please


observe, and, if necessary, adjust tire pressures for speeds exceeding 100 mph/160 km/h from the relevant table on the following pages. Otherwise tire damage and accidents could occur.<
