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 inhibitor. This mixture

provides protection against freezing

down to approx. –34 7 (–37 6). Have

the coolant replaced every 3 years.

Locks

BMW door lock deicer can be used to

free them if frozen. This deicer also

contains lubricant.

After using the deicer, treatment with

BMW lock cylinder grease is recom-

mended.

Rubber 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

Mount BMW snow chains* only in pairs

on rear tires and always follow the

manufacturer's safety precautions. Do

not exceed a maximum speed of

30 mph (50 km/h) with snow chains. In

rare situations like these, it may be a

good idea to turn the DSC off briefly,

refer to page 80.

Deactivate the Tire Pressure Warning

system (RDW) when driving with snow

chains mounted. Snow chains can

cause the system to generate false

alarms and/or fail to detect pressure

loss, refer to page 81

Starting off

When trying to drive out of deep snow,

or when "rocking" the vehicle to free it,

it may be prudent to temporarily deacti-

vate the 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. Adapt

your speed and driving style when

approaching grades or slopes. Maintain

an adequate distance between yourself

and the vehicle ahead.
