Brake discs and brake pads only reach their full

effectiveness after approx. 300 miles/500 km.

Drive moderately during this break-in period.

Warning

Due to new parts and components, safety and

driver assistance systems can react with a de‐

lay. There is a risk of accident. After installing

new parts or with a new vehicle, drive conser‐

vatively and intervene early if necessary. Ob‐

serve the break-in procedures of the respective

parts and components.

DRIVING TIPS

After a trip on poor roads

After a trip on poor roads, check wheels and tires

for damage to maintain driving safety. Clear

heavy soiling from the body.

Driving on poor roads

Concept

Because of its greater ground clearance, the ve‐

hicle can be driven on a variety of road types and

qualities.

General driving notes

All-wheel drive can help improve forward mo‐

mentum.

Closing the tailgate

Safety information

NOTICE

Warning

Objects in unpaved areas, for instance stones

or branches, can damage the vehicle. There is

a risk of damage to property. Do not drive on

unpaved terrain.

An open tailgate protrudes from the vehicle and

can endanger occupants and other traffic par‐

ticipants or damage the vehicle in the event of

an accident, braking or evasive maneuvers. In

addition, exhaust fumes may enter the car's in‐

terior. There is a risk of injury or risk of damage

to property. Do not drive with the tailgate open.

When driving on poor roads

For your own safety, for the safety of passengers

and of the vehicle, heed the following points:

Driving with the tailgate open

If driving with the tailgate open cannot be

avoided:

▷ Familiarize yourself with the vehicle before

driving.

▷ Do not take risks when driving.

▷ Close all windows and the glass sunroof.

▷ Greatly increase the air flow from the vents.

▷ Drive moderately.

▷ Adjust the speed to the road surface condi‐

tions. The steeper and more uneven the road

surface, the slower the speed should be.

▷ When driving on steep uphill or downhill

grades: add engine oil and coolant up to near

the MAX mark.

Hot exhaust gas system

▷ On steep downhill grades, use Hill Descent

Control HDC.

Warning

High temperatures can occur underneath the

body, for instance caused by the exhaust gas

system, while driving. Contact with the exhaust

gas system can cause burns. There is a risk of

injury. Do not touch the hot exhaust gas sys‐

tem, including the exhaust pipe.

▷ Avoid that the chassis bottom coming in con‐

tact with the ground.

The ground clearance is no more than 7.8 in‐

ches/20 cm and can vary according to the ve‐

hicle's load.

▷ When wheels continue to spin, depress the

accelerator so that driving stability control

systems can distribute the driving force to the

wheels. Activate DTC Dynamic Traction Con‐

trol if available.

DRIVING TIPS

Warning

▷ Drive through water only if it is not deeper

than a maximum of 9.8 inches/25 cm.

▷ Drive through water no faster than walking

speed, up to 3 mph/5 km/h.

If combustible materials, such as leaves or

grass, come in contact with hot parts of the ex‐

haust gas system, these materials can ignite.

There is a risk of fire and injuries. Do not re‐

move the heat shields installed and never apply

undercoating to them. Make sure that no com‐

bustible materials can come in contact with hot

vehicle parts in driving operation, idle or during

parking.

Safety information

NOTICE

When driving too quickly through too deep wa‐

ter, water can enter into the engine compart‐

ment, the electrical system or the transmission.

There is a risk of damage to property. When

driving through water, do not exceed the maxi‐

mum indicated water level and the maximum

speed for driving through water.

Mobile communication devices

in the vehicle

Warning

Braking safely

Vehicle electronics and mobile phones can in‐

fluence one another. There is radiation due to

the transmission operations of mobile phones.

There is a risk of injury or risk of damage to

property. If possible, in the car's interior use

only mobile phones with direct connections to

an exterior antenna in order to exclude mutual

interference and deflect the radiation from the

car's interior.

General information

The vehicle is equipped with ABS as a standard

feature.

Perform an emergency stop in situations that re‐

quire such.

Steering is still responsive. You can still avoid any

obstacles with a minimum of steering effort.

Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from the

hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is in its active

mode.

Hydroplaning

On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can

form between the tires and road surface.

Objects in the movement area

around pedals and floor area

This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplaning.

It is characterized by a partial or complete loss of

contact between the tires and the road surface,

ultimately undermining your ability to steer and

brake the vehicle.

Warning

Objects in the driver's floor area can limit the

pedal distance or block a depressed pedal.

There is a risk of accident. Stow objects in the

vehicle such that they are secured and cannot

enter into the driver's floor area. Use floor mats

that are suitable for the vehicle and can be

safely attached to the floor. Do not use loose

floor mats and do not layer several floor mats.

Make sure that there is sufficient clearance for

Driving through water

General information

When driving through water, follow the following:

curely fastened again after they were removed,

for instance for cleaning.

accident. Do not attempt to drive in idle state or

with the engine switched off.

Brake disc corrosion

Driving in wet conditions

When roads are wet, salted, or in heavy rain, gen‐

tly press the brake pedal every few miles.

Corrosion on the brake discs and contamination

on the brake pads are increased by the following

circumstances:

Ensure that this action does not endanger other

traffic.

▷ Low mileage.

▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not

used at all.

The heat generated during braking dries brake

discs and brake pads and protects them against

corrosion.

▷ Infrequent use of the brakes.

▷ Aggressive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning

agents.

In this way braking efficiency will be available

when you need it.

Corrosion buildup on the brake discs will cause a

pulsating effect on the brakes in their response -

generally this cannot be corrected.

Hills

General information

Condensation water under the

parked vehicle

When using the automatic climate control, con‐

densation water develops and collects under‐

neath the vehicle.

Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear

that requires least braking effort. Otherwise, the

brakes may overheat and reduce brake effi‐

ciency.

You can increase the engine's braking effect by

shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if

needed.

Driving on racetracks

Safety information

Warning

The vehicle is not designed for use in motor

sport type competition. Excessive race track

operation in the limit range can result in the

sudden failure or malfunction of components.

There is a risk of accident. Do not operate the

vehicle excessively in the limit range. Pay atten‐

tion to anomalies of the vehicle, for instance

brake grinding, and stop race track operation

where required.

Light but consistent brake pressure can lead to

high temperatures, brakes wearing out and

possibly even brake failure. There is a risk of

accident. Avoid placing excessive stress on the

brake system.

Warning

In idle state or with the engine switched off,

safety functions, for instance engine braking ef‐

fect, braking assistance and steering assis‐

tance, may not be available. There is a risk of

Higher mechanical and thermal loads during

racetrack operation lead to increased wear. This

wear is not covered by the warranty.

Vehicle features and

options

Warning

Unexpected movements of the rear seat back‐

rest while driving may occur due to uninten‐

tional unlocking of the rear seat backrests by

the straps. There is a risk of injury. Do not fas‐

ten any objects to the straps for unlocking the

rear backrests.

This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐

cific and optional features offered with the series.

It also describes features that are not necessarily

available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the

selected options or country versions. This also

applies to safety-related functions and systems.

When using these functions and systems, the

applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐

served.

Warning

Improperly stowed objects can shift and be

thrown into the car's interior, for instance in the

event of an accident or during braking and eva‐

sive maneuver. Vehicle occupants can be hit

and injured. There is a risk of injury. Stow and

secure objects and cargo properly.

Safety information

Warning

High gross weight can overheat the tires, dam‐

age them internally and cause a sudden drop in

tire inflation pressure. Driving characteristics

may be negatively impacted, reducing lane sta‐

bility, lengthening the braking distances and

changing the steering response. There is a risk

of accident. Pay attention to the permitted load

capacity of the tires and never exceed the per‐

mitted gross weight.

NOTICE

Fluids in the cargo area can cause damage.

There is a risk of damage to property. Make

sure that no fluids leak in the cargo area.

Steps for Determining

Correct Load Limit

Warning

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight

of occupants and cargo should never exceed

XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard.

Loose objects or devices with a cable connec‐

tion to the vehicle, for instance mobile phones,

can be thrown about the car's interior while

driving, for instance in the event of an accident,

braking or evasive maneuver. There is a risk of

injury. Secure loose objects or devices with a

cable connection to the vehicle in the car's in‐

terior.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver

and passengers that will be riding in your ve‐

hicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver

and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs

4. The resulting figure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

For example, if the “XXX” amount equals

Loading

DRIVING TIPS

1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lbs pas‐

sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa‐

ble cargo and luggage load capacity is

650 lbs (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs)

▷ The cargo area, refer to page 205, can be ex‐

panded to transport large or bulky cargo.

▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of the

backrests.

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage

and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That

weight may not safely exceed the available

cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in

Step 4.

▷ Use the cargo area partition net, refer to

page 208, to protect occupants. Make sure

that objects cannot penetrate the cargo area

partition net.

▷ Smaller and light cargo: secure with ratchet

straps or draw straps.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load

from your trailer will be transferred to your ve‐

hicle. Consult this manual to determine how

this reduces the available cargo and luggage

load capacity of your vehicle.

▷ Larger and heavy cargo: secure with cargo

straps.

Lashing eyes in the cargo

area

Load

The maximum load is the sum of the weight of

the occupants and the cargo.

With cargo area partition net or ski and snow‐

board bag: to secure the cargo there are six lash‐

ing eyes in the cargo area.

The greater the weight of the occupants, the

less cargo that can be transported.

Attach load securing aids, such as lashing straps,

tensioning straps, draw straps or cargo nets, to

the lashing eyes in the cargo area.

Stowing and securing

cargo

Only use the lower lashing eyes to secure the

cargo with the cargo area partition net.

▷ Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo.

Roof-mounted luggage

rack

▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possible,

directly behind and at the bottom of the rear

passenger seat backrests.

▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not

occupied, secure each of the outer safety

belts in the opposite buckle.

General information

Installation only possible with roof rack.

Roof racks are available as special accessories.

Loading

DRIVING TIPS

Safety information

Warning

When driving with a roof load, for instance with

roof-mounted luggage rack, the vehicle's cen‐

ter of gravity is higher, which increases the risk

of the vehicle tipping in critical driving situa‐

tions. There may be a risk of accident or risk of

damage to property. Do not deactivate DSC

Dynamic Stability Control when driving with

roof load.

Securing

Follow the installation instructions of the roof

rack.

Loading

Because roof-mounted luggage racks raise the

vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they

have a major effect on vehicle handling and

steering response.

Therefore, note the following when loading and

driving:

▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle loads

and the approved gross vehicle weight.

▷ Be sure that adequate clearance is main‐

tained for tilting and opening the glass sun‐

roof.

▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly.

▷ The roof load should not extend past the

loading area.

▷ Always place the heaviest pieces on the bot‐

tom.

▷ Secure the roof luggage firmly, for instance

using ratchet straps.

▷ Do not let objects project into the opening

path of the tailgate.

▷ Drive cautiously and avoid sudden accelera‐

tion and braking maneuvers. Take corners

gently.

Reducing fuel consumption

DRIVING TIPS

Reducing fuel consumption

Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aerody‐

namics and increase the fuel consumption.

Vehicle features and

options

This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐

cific and optional features offered with the series.

It also describes features that are not necessarily

available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the

selected options or country versions. This also

applies to safety-related functions and systems.

When using these functions and systems, the

applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐

served.

Close the windows and

glass sunroof

Driving with the glass sunroof and windows open

results in increased air resistance and thereby re‐

duces the range.

Tires

General information

Tires can affect consumption in various ways, for

instance tire size may influence consumption.

The vehicle contains advanced technologies for

the reduction of consumption and emission val‐

ues.

Check the tire inflation pressure

regularly

Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation

pressure at least twice a month and before start‐

ing on a long trip.

Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐

ferent factors.

Carrying out certain measures, such as a moder‐

ate driving style and regular maintenance, can in‐

fluence fuel consumption and the environmental

impact.

Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐

sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and

tire wear.

Remove unnecessary

cargo

Drive away immediately

Additional weight increases fuel consumption.

Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while the

vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right

away, but at moderate engine speeds.

Remove attached parts

following use

This is the quickest way of warming the cold en‐

gine up to operating temperature.

Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof-mounted or rear

luggage racks which are no longer required fol‐

lowing use.

duced. Savings can begin within a few seconds

of switching off the engine.

Look well ahead when

driving

In addition, fuel consumption is also determined

by other factors, such as driving style, road con‐

ditions, maintenance or environmental factors.

Driving smoothly and proactively reduces fuel

consumption.

Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.

Switch off any functions

that are not currently

needed

By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle

driving ahead of you.

Avoid high engine speeds

Functions such as seat heating and the rear win‐

dow defroster require a lot of energy and reduce

the range, especially in city and stop-and-go traf‐

fic.

Driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel con‐

sumption and reduces wear.

If necessary, observe the vehicle's gear shift indi‐

cator, refer to page 126.

Switch off these functions if they are not needed.

The ECO PRO driving mode supports the en‐

ergy conserving use of comfort features. These

functions are automatically deactivated partially

or completely.

Use coasting

When approaching a red light, take your foot off

the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt.

Have maintenance carried

out

For going downhill take your foot off the acceler‐

ator and let the vehicle roll.

The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.

Have the vehicle maintained regularly to achieve

optimal vehicle efficiency and service life. BMW

recommends that maintenance work be per‐

formed by a BMW service center.

Switch off the engine

during longer stops

For information on the BMW Maintenance Sys‐

tem, refer to page 259.

Switching off the engine

Switch off the engine during longer stops, for in‐

stance at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in

traffic congestion.
