Brake fluid

Indicator lamp

The warning lamp comes on

even though the parking brake

is released:

The brake fluid level is too low, refer to

page 18. At the same time, there may

be significantly greater pedal travel.

Have the system checked immediately.

Warning lamp for Canadian

models.

If you continue driving, extended

pedal travel may be necessary

and braking distances may be signifi-

cantly longer. Be sure to adapt your

driving style accordingly.<

Adding brake fluid

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.

Due to loss in brake fluid, pedal travel

can lengthen and braking efficiency

may be reduced.

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 for

US models or the Warranty and Service

Guide Booklet for Canadian models.

Brake fluid is toxic and damages the

vehicle's paint. You should always store

it in its closed original container and in

a location inaccessible to children.

Do not spill the brake 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 disposal of brake fluid.<
