Winter operation

The onset of winter is often accompa-

nied by rapid changes in weather.

Adaptations in driving style should be

accompanied by preparations on the

vehicle itself to ensure that your

progress through the winter remains

safe and trouble-free.

Coolant

Be sure that the coolant mixture

contains the year-round ratio of 50:50

water and extended-duty antifreeze/

corrosion protection. This mixture

provides protection against freezing

down to approx. -34 7 (-37 6).

Replace the coolant every four years.

Locks

BMW door lock deicer can be used to

free them if frozen. This deicer also

contains lubricant.

After its use, treatment with BMW lock

barrel grease is recommended.

Rubber seals and components

To prevent the weather-stripping from

freezing, apply a spray-on rubber treat-

ment or silicone spray to the door, hood

and luggage compartment lid seals.

available from your BMW center.<

Snow chains

BMW snow chains can be mounted on

both summer and winter tires. Mount

them in pairs on the rear wheels only

and comply with the manufacturer's

safety precautions. Do not exceed a

maximum speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).

In this situation, it may be appropriate

to deactivate the ASC+T/DSC for a

short period of time. Refer to page 80.

BMW 325xi, 330xi: in a worst-case

scenario, if your vehicle is stuck on one

side or you cannot access one tire, then

a chain may be attached to one rear

wheel for a short period of time.

Starting off

When starting from a full stop in deep

snow or for "rocking" the vehicle to free

it, it may be effective to deactivate the

ASC+T/DSC system. Refer to page 80.

Driving on low-traction road

surfaces

Use smooth, gentle pressure to control

the accelerator pedal. Avoid excessive

engine speeds and shift to the next

higher gear at an early point. On down-

grades or slopes, shift down to the next

lower gear at an early point. Maintain an

adequate distance between yourself

and the vehicle ahead.

Brakes

Winter road conditions substantially

reduce the traction available between

the tires and the road surface.

Remember that braking distances will

be significantly longer as a result.

ABS is intended to prevent the wheels

from locking during brake applications,

thus helping to maintain vehicle stability

and steering response.

If the ABS does not respond in a critical

braking situation and the wheels lock:

Reduce the pressure on the brake pedal

until the wheels just start to roll again

while still maintaining enough force to

continue braking.

Following that, increase pedal pressure

again. Reduce the pressure as the

wheels lock, then reapply pressure.

Repeat this procedure. This type of

staggered braking will reduce the

braking distance, and the vehicle still

remains responsive to steering. It allows

you to steer around hazards once you

have reduced the pressure on the brake

pedal.
