Starting the engine

Before starting

> Engage the parking brake

> Be sure that the gearshift lever is in

"Neutral" (or the selector lever in "P"

if the vehicle is equipped with auto-

matic transmission)

> Depress the clutch pedal.

Do not run the engine in enclosed

spaces. The exhaust gases

contain carbon monoxide, an odorless

and colorless, but highly toxic gas.

Breathing the exhaust gases poses an

extreme health risk, and can lead to

unconsciousness and death.

Do not leave the vehicle unattended

with the engine running. An unattended

vehicle with a running engine repre-

sents a potential safety hazard.<

Starting the engine

> Do not press the accelerator pedal

while starting the engine.

Do not actuate the starter for too

short a time. Do not turn it for

more than approx. 20 seconds. Release

the ignition key immediately after the

engine starts.

Do not allow the engine to warm up

by leaving it running while the vehicle

remains stationary. Instead, begin to

drive immediately at a moderate engine

speed.<

Should the engine fail to start on the

first attempt (if it is very hot or cold, for

instance):

> Press the accelerator pedal halfway

down while engaging the starter.

Cold starts at very low temperatures,

from approx. +5 7 (–15 6) and at

altitudes above approx. 3,300 ft

(1,000 m):

> On the first start attempt, engage the

starter for a longer period (approx.

10 seconds).

If these temperature conditions are

anticipated for a longer period, have the

engine oil changed to a special oil, refer

to page 124. Please contact your BMW

center for additional information.

Usually, it is not necessary to depress

the accelerator pedal. However, at high

altitudes or in very hot or very cold

weather, depress the pedal halfway

down when starting the engine.

Engine idle speed is controlled by the

engine computer system. Increased

speeds at start-up are normal and

should decrease as the engine warms

up. If engine speed does not decrease,

service is required.

To prevent the battery from

discharging, always switch off any

accessories which are not required.

Switch off the ignition when the vehicle

is not being driven.
