Emissions values

The warning lamp lights up. Exhaust
values are deteriorating. Have the vehi-
cle checked as soon as possible.

Under certain conditions, the indicator will flash.
This indicates a serious rate of engine misfire.
When this occurs, you should reduce speed
and consult the nearest BMW Sports Activity
Vehicle Center as soon as possible. Severe
engine misfire even for only a short period of
time can seriously damage emission control
components, especially the catalytic converter.

When the fuel filler cap is not properly
tightened, the OBD system can detect

the vapor leak and the indicator lamp will light
up. If the filler cap is subsequently tightened,
the indicator lamp should go out within a few
days.
