Battery Care

If your X5 xDrive35d is driven only for short

distances of less than 10 miles over a prolonged

period of time, without an occasional drive at

highway speeds, the engine’s charging system

will not maintain the battery. Insufficient use of

the SAV could result in short term starting

problems and in the long term could damage the

battery.

In case your X5 xDrive35d is not operated for

several weeks it is advisable to:

䉯 consider using a proper trickle charger,

following the charger manufacturer’s

instructions, to maintain the battery’s state of

charge; or

䉯 consult your BMW SAV center regarding

battery removal. Once removed, the battery

must be charged and stored in a cool, dry

place where it can be protected from freezing.

If the battery will be stored for over 3 months, it

must be recharged every 3 months, or else it

will become damaged and useless.

Please consult with your BMW SAV center for

further guidance and information.

Corrosion Protection

Extensive corrosion protection measures

implemented by BMW now make it possible to

offer a twelve-year unlimited mileage anti-

corrosion warranty against rust perforation on

your SAV provided that the SAV is maintained in

accordance with the provisions of the New SAV

Limited Warranty as outlined in the Warranty

Section of this Statement (page 33).

The major degree of corrosion protection is due

to the electrophoretic dip painting process which

cathodically deposits paint particles on all body

parts, attracting paint particles into the minutest

cavities or seams. Body parts are designed to

provide optimum corrosion protection.

During manufacture, exterior body parts receive

an additional corrosion protection coat. Hood,

trunk, doors and other body parts with metal

folds are coated with PVC and sealed from the

outside.

All floor panels receive a resilient coating of PVC

for maximum protection against damage due to

stones, etc.

Corrosion protection materials tested over many

years are applied to the surfaces of cavities and

to the entire underside of the vehicle during and

after assembly.

Requirements for maintaining the twelve-year

unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty are

outlined in the Warranty Section of this Booklet

(page 35).

Restoring corrosion protection

Please take care that anti-corrosion material is

replaced when your car is repaired after body or

chassis damage.

BMW NA will not accept any liability for any

parts and accessories not approved by BMW.

Underbody maintenance

The underbody has to be cleaned at least once a

year, in spring, with plain water in order to remove

mud, chemical sediments and other deposits. If

those materials are not removed, corrosion (rust)

will occur.

Your BMW SAV center will do this anti-corrosion

service for you.

Do not apply additional undercoating or

rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold,

exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heat shields.

During driving, the substance used for

undercoating could overheat and cause a fire.
