116 Driving precautions Running in Please comply with the following instructions, which are intended to ensure that your car achieves its opti- mum operating life and economy. Engine and final drive Up to 2000 km (approx. 1250 miles): Drive at varying road and engine speeds, but do not exceed the follow- ing maximum values: > Cars with petrol en[...]

117 Aquaplaning When driving on wet or slushy surfaces, reduce speed to prevent a wedge of water from forming between the tyre and the road. This situation, known as aquaplaning, means that the tyre can actually lose contact com- pletely with the road surface, so that neither the car can be steered nor the brake be properly applied. < The risk o[...]

118 Never drive with the clutch pedal depressed, with the shift lever or selector lever in neutral, or while the engine is switched off, otherwise engine braking action will not be present with the transmission in neutral and there will be no power assistance for the brakes and steering while the engine is switched off. 325ix, 330ix, 330xd: always [...]

119 Anti-lock Brake System ABS The principle ABS prevents the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied, and thus increases active safety. Braking with ABS You use ABS most effectively by apply- ing maximum brake pressure in situa- tions which call for this – full braking. Since the car remains steerable, you can avoid obstacles by turning [...]

120 Wheels and tyres Tyre pressures Information for your safety The tyres approved for your vehicle are matched to its characteristics and, if used correctly, ensure not only opti- mum road safety but also the desired level of ride comfort. The condition of the tyres and mainte- nance of the correct tyre pressures not only influence tyre life but a[...]

121 Do not continue driving with a flat tyre. If air pressure is lost from a tyre, this seriously affects the car's han- dling and braking, and could cause the driver to lose control. Avoid overloading the car, as this could cause the tyres' load capacity limit to be exceeded. Otherwise you could overheat the tyres and cause internal dama[...]

122 Wheel and tyre combinations Choosing the correct tyres BMW recommends using only wheels and tyres approved by BMW for your vehicle, because even if the nominal sizes are the same, manu- facturing tolerances and other factors could cause the tyres to contact the bodywork and this, in turn, could result in serious accidents. If BMW has not approv[...]

123 Never exceed the maximum speed laid down for the winter tyres fitted to your car. Lack of expert knowledge or incorrect handling of tyres can cause damage and lead to accidents. All work on tyres should therefore be carried out only by experts. BMW Service will gladly place its spe- cialised knowledge and facilities at your disposal. < Tyre [...]
