Coolant Brake fluid

Adding coolant

Wait until the engine cools before re-

moving the cap from the expansion

tank. The coolant gauge needle 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

the cap

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 pre-

scribed all-season 50:50 mixture ratio

for year-round protection against inter-

nal corrosion. No other additives are

required.

Replace the coolant every four years.

If the warning lamp for the brake sys-

tem 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 determin-

ing 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 117.

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 dis-

posal of brake fluid.<
