Maintenance
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes model-specific equipment, systems, and functions that are currently available, or may become available in the future, even if they are not present in the vehicle.
Additional information:
Vehicle equipment.
BMW maintenance system
Principle
The maintenance system provides service notifications and thereby provides support in maintaining road safety and the operational reliability of the vehicle.
General information
In some cases, scopes and intervals of the maintenance system may vary according to the country version. Replacement work, spare parts, fuels and lubricants, and wear materials are calculated separately. Further information is available from an authorized service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Condition Based Service
Principle
Condition Based Service determines the maintenance recommendation using sensors and special algorithms that take into account the operating conditions of the vehicle.
The system makes it possible to adapt the maintenance measures to your user profile.
General information
Service notifications can be displayed on the control display.
Additional information:
Service notifications.
Service data in the vehicle key
Information on the service notifications is continuously stored in the vehicle key. An authorized 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 recently.
Stationary periods
Stationary periods during which the vehicle battery was disconnected are not taken into account.
In such cases, have any time-dependent maintenance measures, e.g., brake fluid, engine oil, and microfilter/activated-charcoal filter checks, performed by an authorized service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
Maintenance Booklet for US Models
Please consult your Maintenance Booklet for additional information on the performance of service and maintenance work.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends that maintenance and repair be performed by an authorized service center or another qualified service center or repair shop. Records of regular maintenance and repair work should be retained.
Diagnostic socket
General information
Devices connected to the diagnostic socket will trigger the alarm system after locking the vehicle.
Remove devices connected to the diagnostic socket before locking the vehicle.
Additional information:
Indicator/warning lights.
Safety information
Observe when using the socket for on-board diagnostics
Position
There is a diagnostic socket on the driver’s side for reading out vehicle data.
Emissions
The warning light illuminates:
Worsening emissions, e.g., due to an incorrectly fitted fuel cap. Have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
The warning light flashes under certain circumstances:
This indicates that there is excessive misfiring in the engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the vehicle checked immediately; otherwise, serious engine misfiring within a brief period can seriously damage emission control components, in particular the catalytic converter.
Have the vehicle checked by an authorized service center or another qualified service center or repair shop.
