BrakesWinter road conditions substantially reduce the traction available between the tires and the road surface. Remember that braking distances will be significantly longer as a result. ABS is intended to prevent the wheels from locking during brake applications, thus helping to maintain vehicle stability and steering response.
If the ABS does not respond in a critical braking situation and the wheels lock: Reduce the pressure on the brake pedal until the wheels just start to roll again while still maintaining enough force to continue braking. Then in- crease the pressure, reduce the pres- sure when the wheels lock, reapply pressure etc. This staggered braking procedure will reduce stopping distances while help- ing you maintain steering control. You can then attempt to steer around hazards after you have reduced pres- sure on the brake pedal.
To avoid the possibility of damage later on, never use anything other than fac- tory-approved, nitrite- and amino-free extended-duty antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor.
Your authorized BMW center is familiar with the official specifica- tions. Antifreeze and anticorrosion agents are hazardous to health. Store antifreeze and anticorrosion agents in their origi- nal containers and inaccessible to chil- dren. Extended-duty antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor contains the flamma- ble substance ethyleneglycol. Do not spill antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitor on hot engine components, since it could catch fire and cause seri- ous burns. Comply with the applicable envi- ronmental laws regulating the dis- posal of extended-duty antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor.
Checking coolant levelCorrect coolant level when the engine is cold approx. The coolant level is correct when the end of the red float is aligned with the upper edge of the filler opening refer to the arrow in the illustration or the sche- matic diagram next to the cap. The coolant gauge needle in the instrument cluster must be located in the blue field; otherwise, otherwise, you could be scalded.
Then open. The coolant is a mixture of water and extended-duty antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor. Always maintain the pre- scribed all-season mixture ratio for year-round protection against inter- nal corrosion.
