Laws and regulations

California Proposition 65 warning

California laws require us to state the
following warning:

Engine exhaust, some of its con-
stituents, and certain vehicle com-

ponents contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects and
reproductive harm. In addition, certain
fluids contained in vehicles and certain
products of component wear contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash your hands after hand-
ling.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that
have caused cancer in laboratory ani-
mals. Always protect your skin by
washing thoroughly with soap and
water.

OBD interface socket

The interface socket for onboard diag-
nostics is located on the left-hand side
of the driver's side, behind a specially
marked cover located beneath the
instrument panel. The cover has the let-
ters OBD on it.

This interface makes it possible to
access data on emissions-related com-
ponents using special equipment.

An illuminated indicator informs
you of the need for service, not
that you need to stop the vehi-

cle. However, the systems should be
checked by your BMW center at the
earliest possible opportunity.

If the indicator blinks or flashes, this
indicates a high level of engine misfire.
Reduce speed and contact the nearest
BMW center immediately. Severe
