Service data in the remote control  
Vehicle features and options  
Information on the required maintenance is  
continuously stored in the remote control.  
Your service center will read out this data and  
suggest the right array of service procedures  
for your vehicle.  
This chapter describes all standard, country-  
specific and optional features offered with the  
series. It also describes features that are not  
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to  
the selected options or country versions. This  
also applies to safety-related functions and  
systems. The respectively applicable country  
provisions must be observed when using the  
respective features and systems.  
Therefore, hand your service specialist the re‐  
mote control with which the vehicle was driven  
most recently.  
Storage periods  
Storage periods during which the vehicle bat‐  
tery was disconnected are not taken into ac‐  
count.  
BMW maintenance system  
The maintenance system indicates required  
maintenance measures, and thereby provides  
support in maintaining road safety and the op‐  
erational reliability of the vehicle.  
If this occurs, have a service center update the  
time-dependent maintenance procedures,  
such as checking brake fluid and, if needed,  
changing the engine oil and the microfilter/  
activated-charcoal filter.  
In some cases scopes and intervals may vary  
according to the country-specific version. Re‐  
placement work, spare parts, fuels and lubri‐  
cants and wear materials are calculated sepa‐  
rately. Additional information is available from  
the service center.

Please consult your Service and Warranty In‐  
formation Booklet for US models and Warranty

quirements.  
Condition Based Service  
CBS  
Sensors and special algorithms take into ac‐  
count the driving conditions of your vehicle.  
Based on this, Condition Based Service recog‐  
nizes the maintenance requirements.  
The system makes it possible to adapt the  
amount of maintenance corresponding to your  
user profile.  
Maintenance and repair should be performed  
by your service center. Make sure to have reg‐  
ular maintenance procedures recorded in the  
vehicle's Service and Warranty Information  
Booklet for US models, and in the Warranty  
and Service Guide Booklet for Canadian mod‐  
els. These entries are proof of regular mainte‐  
nance.  
Detailed information on service requirements,  
refer to page 86, can be displayed on the Con‐  
trol Display.

Socket for Onboard Diagnosis  
The socket for onboard diagnostics may  
only be used by the service center or a work‐  
shop that operates in accordance with the  
specifications of the vehicle manufacturer with  
correspondingly trained personnel and other  
authorized persons. Otherwise, use may result  
in operating problems for the vehicle.◀  
Position  
There is an OBD socket on the driver's side for  
checking the primary components in the vehi‐  
cle's emissions.  
Emissions  
The warning lamp lights up:  
Emissions are deteriorating. Have  
the vehicle checked as soon as  
possible.  
The warning lamp flashes under certain  
circumstances:  
This indicates that there is excessive mis‐  
firing in the engine.  
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the  
system checked immediately; otherwise,  
serious engine misfiring within a brief pe‐  
riod can seriously damage emission con‐  
trol components, in particular the catalytic  
converter.
