Engine compartment  
Coolant temperature  
If the coolant and therefore the engine over-  
heats, a warning lamp lights up. A message  
appears on the Control Display.  
Checking coolant level  
Do not add coolant to the cooling system  
when the engine is hot. Escaping coolant  
can cause burns.<  
1. Do not open the engine hood before the  
engine has cooled down.  
2. Turn the cap of the expansion tank a little  
counterclockwise to allow any accumulated  
pressure to escape, then continue turning  
to open.  
3. The level indicator 1 in the coolant filler  
neck indicates the level of coolant. The  
coolant level is correct when it is between  
the arrows of the respective inscription on  
the reservoir 2.  
4. If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant up to  
the specified level; do not overfill.  
5. Turn the cap until there is an audible click.  
6. Have the reason for the coolant loss  
eliminated as soon as possible.

In this chapter, all production, country, and  
optional equipment that is offered in the model  
range is described. For this reason, descrip-  
tions will be given of some equipment that may  
not be available in a vehicle, for example due to  
the special options or national-market version  
selected. This also applies to safety related  
functions and systems.  
Vehicle check  
Legally mandated inspections depending  
on local regulations  
Service data in the remote control  
Your vehicle continuously stores service-  
requirement information in the remote control  
while you are driving. Your dealership Service  
Advisor can read out this data from the remote  
control unit, and propose an optimized mainte-  
nance approach. Whenever you take your car in  
for servicing you should therefore give your  
dealership Service Advisor the remote control  
unit that you last used.

The BMW Maintenance System advises you of  
necessary maintenance measures and helps

the vehicle.  
Service and Warranty Information  
Booklet for US models and Warranty

Canadian models  
Please consult your Service and Warranty Infor-  
mation Booklet for US models and Warranty  
and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian models  
for additional information on service require-  
ments.  
Condition Based Service CBS  
Sensors and special algorithms take the differ-  
ent driving conditions of your BMW into  
account. Condition Based Service uses this to  
determine the current and future service  
requirements. By letting you define a service  
and maintenance regimen that reflects your  
own individual requirements, the system builds  
the basis for trouble-free driving.  
BMW recommends that you have service  
and repair operations performed at your  
BMW center.  
Take the time to ensure that these service pro-  
cedures are confirmed by entries in your vehi-  
cle's Service and Warranty Information Booklet  
for US models and Warranty and Service Guide  
Booklet for Canadian models. These entries  
verify that your vehicle has received the speci-  
fied regular maintenance.<  
On the Control Display, you can have the  
remaining times or distances for selected main-  
tenance tasks and any legally prescribed dates  
displayed, refer to page 80:
