General information
Information on service notifications can be dis‐
played on the Control Display.
Vehicle features and
options
Additional information:
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features and functions that are
not necessarily available in your vehicle, e.g., due
to the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐
served.
Service notifications, refer to page 165.
Service data in the vehicle key
Information on the service notifications is contin‐
uously stored in the vehicle key. The service
center can read this data out and suggest a
maintenance scope for the vehicle.
Therefore, hand the service advisor the vehicle
key with which the vehicle was driven most re‐
cently.
BMW maintenance system
Storage periods
Storage periods during which the vehicle battery
was disconnected are not taken into account.
The maintenance system provides service notifi‐
cations and thereby provides support in main‐
taining road safety and the operational reliability
of the vehicle.
If this occurs, have a dealer's service center or
another qualified service center or repair shop
update the time-dependent maintenance proce‐
dures, such as checking brake fluid and, if neces‐
sary, changing the engine oil and the microfilter/
activated-charcoal filter.
In some cases, scopes and intervals of the main‐
tenance system may vary according to the coun‐
try version. Replacement work, spare parts, fuels
and lubricants, and wear materials are calculated
separately. Further information is available from a
dealer's service center or another qualified serv‐
ice center or repair shop.

Principle
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
that maintenance and repair be performed by a
service center or another qualified service center
or repair shop. Records of regular maintenance
and repair work should be retained.
Sensors and special algorithms take into account
the driving conditions of the vehicle. CBS uses
these to provide maintenance recommendations.
The system makes it possible to adapt the
amount of maintenance corresponding to your
user profile.

Emissions
Socket for OBD Onboard
Diagnosis
▷ The warning light lights up:
Emissions are deteriorating. Have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
General information
▷ The warning light flashes under certain cir‐
cumstances:
Devices connected to the OBD socket trigger
the alarm system when the vehicle is locked. Re‐
move any devices connected at the OBD socket
before locking the vehicle.
This indicates that there is excessive misfiring
in the engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the sys‐
tem checked immediately; otherwise, serious
engine misfiring within a brief period can seri‐
ously damage emission control components,
in particular the catalytic converter.

proper use of the socket for Onboard Diagno‐

agnosis for other than its intended purpose,
