To ensure that your vehicle provides

maximum economy throughout a long

service life, we request that you comply

with the following recommendations.

Engine and differential

Up to 1,200 miles (2,000 km):

Drive at varying engine and road

speeds, but do not exceed 4,500 rpm

or 100 mph (160 km/h) during this time.

Obey your local and state maximum

speed limits.

Refrain from using full throttle and avoid

pressing the accelerator beyond the

"kickdown" point.

After you have driven 1,200 miles

(2,000 km), you can gradually increase

the engine and road speed.

You should also comply with these

break-in procedures if the engine or

differential is replaced at a later point.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated

with their manufacture, tires do not

achieve their full traction potential until

an initial break-in period has elapsed.

Thus, drive with extra care during the

initial 200 miles (300 km).

Obey your local and state maximum

speed limits.

When the vehicle is operated on

wet or slushy roads, a wedge of

water may form between the tire and

the road surface. This phenomenon is

referred to as aquaplaning, or hydro-

planing, and can lead to partial or com-

plete loss of traction, vehicle control

and braking effectiveness. Reduce your

speed on wet roads.<

Brake system

Brake pads and rotors do not achieve

their optimum wear and surface-con-

tact patterns until you have driven

approx. 300 miles (500 km).

To break in the separate parking brake

drums, apply the parking brake lightly

when coasting to a standstill (at a traffic

signal, for instance), provided that traf-

fic conditions allow you to do so.

To avoid corrosion, repeat this proce-

dure from time to time.

The brake lamps do not come on

when the parking brake is applied.

Vacuum for the brake system servo unit

on your BMW is available only when the

engine is running. When you move the

vehicle with the engine shut off – when

towing, for example – substantially

higher levels of pedal force will be

required to brake the vehicle.<
