Things to remember when driving

Breaking-in

Moving parts should be allowed to adjust to one

another. To ensure that your vehicle provides

maximum economy throughout a long service

life, we request that you comply with the follow-

ing instructions.

Engine and differential

Always obey all official speed limits.

For the first 1,200 miles/2,000 km

Drive at varying engine and driving speeds, but

do not exceed 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/160 km/h

in the process.

Generally avoid full throttle or kick-down posi-

tion of the accelerator pedal.

After 1,200 miles/2,000 km

Engine and road speed can be gradually

increased.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated with their

manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac-

tion potential until after an initial break-in

period. For this reason, drive with extra care

during the initial 200 miles/300 km.

Obey your local and state maximum speed lim-

its.

When the vehicle is operated on wet or

slushy roads, a wedge of water may form

between the tire and the road surface. This phe-

nomenon is referred to as hydroplaning and can

lead to partial or complete loss of traction, vehi-

cle control and braking effectiveness. Reduce

your speed on wet roads.<

Brake system

Your vehicle must travel approx. 300 miles/

500 km before the brake pads and rotors

achieve the optimum pad-surface and wear

patterns required for trouble-free operation and

long service life later on.

To break in the separate handbrake drums,

apply the handbrake lightly when coasting to a

stop – at a traffic signal, for instance; use cau-

tion to avoid posing a danger to other road

users.

To avoid corrosion, repeat this procedure from

time to time.

The brake lamps do not come on when the

handbrake is applied.

Vacuum for the brake system servo unit

on your BMW is available only when the

engine is running. When you move the car with

the engine off – e.g., by towing – substantially

higher levels of pedal force will be required to

brake the vehicle.<

Clutch

The function of the clutch reaches its optimum

level only after a distance driven of approx.

300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period,

engage the clutch gently.

Following component replacements

Follow the breaking-in instructions again when-

ever subsequent driving requires replacement

of previously mentioned components.

General driving notes

Close the liftgate

Operate the vehicle only when the liftgate

is completely closed; otherwise, exhaust

fumes could enter the interior of the vehicle.<

If special circumstances should make it abso-

lutely necessary to operate the vehicle with the

liftgate open:

1. Close all windows and the panorama glass

sunroof.
