Coolant Brake fluid

Adding coolant

Wait until the engine cools before

removing the cap from the expansion

tank. The needle of the coolant gauge

in the instrument cluster must be

located in the blue zone. If it is not,

there is a danger of scalding.

1 Turn the cap slightly counterclock-

wise in order to allow accumulated

pressure to escape, then open.

2 If the coolant is low, slowly add

coolant until the correct level is

reached – do not overfill.

The coolant is a mixture of water and

extended-duty antifreeze with corrosion

inhibitor. Always maintain the

prescribed all-season 50:50 mixture

ratio for year-round protection against

internal corrosion. No other additives

are required.

Replace the coolant every four years.

If the brake warning lamp comes on

and the parking brake has been

released:

Check the brake fluid level. Fill it to the

top mark ("MAX") if necessary.

For adding brake fluid or for deter-

mining and correcting the cause of

brake fluid loss, consult your BMW

center. Your BMW center is familiar

with the specifications for factory-

approved brake fluids (DOT 4).

Brake fluid loss can result in extended

pedal travel. Comply with the informa-

tion provided on page 120.

460de128

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, that is,

it absorbs moisture from the air

over time.

In order to ensure the safety and reli-

ability of the brake system, have the

brake fluid changed every two years by

a BMW center. Refer also to the Service

and Warranty Information Booklet

(US models) or the Warranty and

Service Guide Booklet (Canadian

models).

Brake fluid is toxic and damages the

vehicle's paint. You should always store

it in its original container and in a loca-

tion inaccessible to children.

Do not spill the fluid and do not fill the

brake fluid reservoir beyond the "MAX"

mark. The brake fluid could ignite upon

contact with hot engine parts and cause

serious burns.<

Comply with the applicable envi-

ronmental laws regulating the

disposal of brake fluid.<
