Your BMW center will be glad to advise in all matters concerning the battery. Changing a wheel Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as a standard feature. An immediate wheel change in the event of a flat tire is therefore no longer required. For continued driving with damaged tires, refer to Indication of a flat tire, page 89. You will recognize run-flat tires by a circular symbol containing the letters RSC on the side of the tire, refer to Run-flat tires on page 188. If you have new tires mounted or switch from summer to winter tires, or vice versa, use runflat tires because no spare tire is provided in Charging battery Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the terminals in the engine compartment with the engine switched off. For the connections, refer to Jump starting on page 203. Disposal After replacement, have old batteries disposed of by your BMW center or deposit them at a recycling center. Maintain the battery in an upright position for transport and storage. Always secure the battery to prevent it from tipping over during transport.< 200 Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 159 709 © 09/05 BMW AG
