Replacing components 3. Check and correct the tire inflation pressure at the earliest opportunity. Protect valve stems with valve screw caps against dirt and contamination. Dirt in valve stems is a frequent source of gradual air loss.< 4. Initialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to page 87, or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor, refer to page 89. 5. Replace the damaged tire as soon as possible and have the new wheel/tire balanced. Disposal Have old batteries disposed of following replacement at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center or bring them to a collection point. Maintain the battery in an upright position for transport and storage. Always restrain the battery to prevent it from tipping over during transport.< Power failure After a temporary power loss, the functioning of some equipment may be limited and require reinitialization. Individual settings are also lost and must be updated: > Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory The positions must be stored again, refer to page 42. > Time and Date The values must be updated, refer to pages 77, 78. > Radio Stations must be stored again if necessary, refer to page 160. > Navigation system Wait until the system starts, refer to page 151. Driving with compact wheel Drive reservedly and do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. The driving characteristics change, for example reduced track stability on braking, extended braking distance, and altered self-steering characteristics in the limit range. In conjunction with winter tires, these characteristics are more pronounced. Only one compact wheel may be mounted. You should re-equip with wheels and tires of the original size as quickly as possible.< Vehicle battery Battery care The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e., the electrolyte will last for the life of the battery when the vehicle is operated in a temperate climate. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center will be glad to advise in all matters concerning the battery. Fuses Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and do not replace a defective fuse with a substitute of another color or amperage rating, as this could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately resulting in a fire in the vehicle.< Charging battery Only charge the battery in the vehicle via the terminals in the engine compartment with the engine off. Connections, refer to Jump starting on page 237. Open the right-hand side panel in the cargo bay. 234 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 012 501 - © 08/06 BMW AG
