Ice can form even at temperatures above +377/+36. Drive carefully, especially on bridges and shaded roadways; otherwise, your risk of accident increases.
Tachometer
The white-striped advance warning field, arrow 1, changes depending on the engine temperature. The segments disappear in sequence as the engine warms to its normal operating temperature.
Avoid allowing the engine speed to rise as far as the advance warning field whenever possible. It is absolutely crucial to avoid engine speeds in
the red warning field, arrow 2.
In this range, the fuel supply is interrupted to protect the engine.
Coolant temperature
Should the coolant and therefore the engine become too hot, a warning lamp lights up. In addition, a message appears on the Control Display.
Coolant
Do not open the cooling system when the engine is hot. Escaping coolant can cause burns. Coolant consists of water and coolant additive. Not all commercially available additives are suitable for your BMW. Ask your BMW center for suitable additives.
Only use suitable additives, otherwise engine damage may result. The additives present a health hazard. Always observe all applicable environmental laws and regulations when disposing of used coolant additives.
Checking coolant level
1 Allow the engine to cool.
2 Turn the cap of the expansion tank counterclockwise to allow any accumulated pressure to escape, then continue turning to open.
3 The coolant level is correct when it lies between the MIN and 4 MAX mark, also refer to the drawing next to the filler neck.
4 If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant up to the specified level – do not overfill.
5 Turn the cap until it clicks.
6 Have the reason for the coolant loss eliminated as soon as possible.
Engine oil temperature gauge
During normal operation, the engine oil temperature is between approx. 1607/706 and approx. 340 7/170 6 If the engine oil temperature is too high, a message is shown on the Control Display.
Fuel gauge
Fuel tank capacity: approx. 18.5 US gal/ 70 liters, including the reserve capacity of approx. 2.6 US gal/10 liters.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies for a longer period, when you are driving in mountainous areas, for example, the indicator may fluctuate slightly.
Reserve
After the reserve quantity has been reached, a message briefly appears on the Control Display;
the cruising range is shown in the computer. Below a range of approx. 30 miles/50 km, the message remains on the Control Display.
Refuel as soon as possible once your cruising range falls below 30 miles/ 50 km, otherwise engine functions are not ensured and damage can occur.
