Deactivate the rain sensor when passing through an automatic car wash. Failure to do so could result in damage caused by undesired wiper operation.< Filler neck for washer fluid Cleaning windshield, headlamps and BMW Night Vision camera* The system sprays washer fluid against the windshield and activates the wipers for a brief period. With the vehicle lighting switched on, the headlamps and the BMW Night Vision camera are also cleaned simultaneously at suitable intervals. Do not use the washing mechanisms if there is any danger that the fluid will freeze on the windshield. If you do so, your vision could be obscured. To avoid freezing, use a washer fluid antifreeze, refer to Washer fluid. Do not use washing mechanisms when the washer fluid reservoir is empty, otherwise you will damage the washer pump.< Controls Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment Navigation Driving tips Pull the lever, arrow 4. All washer nozzles are supplied from one reservoir. Fill with water and - if required - with a washer antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recommendations.

Cruise control* The concept The cruise control is available for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h and higher. The vehicle stores and maintains the speed that you set using the lever mounted on the steering column. To maintain the specified speed, the system brakes if the engine braking effect is not sufficient on a downhill grade. Speed can drop on uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient. Do not use the cruise control under driving conditions that do not permit a constant speed, e.g. when driving on winding roads, in heavy traffic or in poor road conditions such as snow, rain, ice, loose road surface, and poor visibility. Otherwise you could loose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.< Windshield washer nozzles The windshield washer nozzles are heated when the engine is running or the ignition is switched on. Washer fluid Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable. For this reason, keep it away from ignition sources and store only in the closed original container out of reach of children. Otherwise, there is the danger of bodily injury. Always observe the instructions for use provided on the containers.< 67 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 600 759 - © 08/08 BMW AG At a glance
