BMW X5 4.8i SAV 2007 User Manual

Page 37

background image

It is the owner’s responsibility to have all sched-

uled inspection and maintenance services per-

formed (at the owner’s expense), as prescribed in

the maintenance schedule for the BMW Emis-

sion Control System. Service intervals are com-

puted by the onboard BMW service interval

indicator and displayed on the instrument panel.

The instructions for proper maintenance and use

can be found in the X5 Owner’s Manual. It is

strongly recommended that any replacement

parts used for maintenance, repair or replace-

ment of emission control systems be certified

BMW Service Parts or BMW Authorized

Remanufactured Parts. Without invalidating this

warranty, the owner may elect to have mainte-

nance, repair or replacement of the emission

control systems performed by any automotive

repair establishment, or elect to use parts other

than certified BMW Service Parts. However, the

cost of such service or parts will not be covered

under this warranty, except in emergency situa-

tions. In an emergency situation, where an

authorized BMW SAV center or a warranty

replacement part is not reasonably available

(within 30 days), repairs may be performed at any

available service establishment using any equiva-

lent part. BMW NA will reimburse the owner for

such emergency repairs (including labor, parts

and diagnosis not to exceed BMW NA rates for

labor, parts, and diagnosis in said area) that are

covered under this warranty. Replaced parts and

paid invoices must be presented at an authorized

BMW SAV center as a condition of reimburse-

ment for emergency repairs not performed by an

authorized BMW SAV center.

The use of replacement parts, which are not of

equivalent quality, may impair the effectiveness

of the emission control system. If other than cer-

tified BMW Service Parts or Authorized Remanu-

factured Parts are used for maintenance, repair

or replacement of components affecting emis-

sion control, the owner should obtain assurances

that such parts are warranted by their manufac-
turer to be equivalent to genuine BMW parts in
performance and durability. BMW NA assumes
no liability under this warranty with respect to
parts other than genuine BMW parts.

However, the use of non-BMW replacement
parts or non-EPA certified parts does not invali-
date the warranty on other components, unless
non-BMW parts or non-EPA certified parts cause
damage to warranted parts.

What is not covered

This warranty does not cover malfunctions
caused by any of the following: accident, flood,

misuse, improper adjustment, modification, alter-

ation, tampering, disconnection, improper or

inadequate maintenance, use of leaded fuel or

fuels containing more than 10% ethanol, or other

oxygenates with more than 2.8% oxygen by

weight (i.e., more than 15% MTBE or more than

3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of

co-solvent).

The replacement of maintenance parts, such as

spark plugs, filters and similar items used in

required maintenance services, the repair or

replacement of maintenance parts beyond the

first required inspection/maintenance, or if the

part has been replaced earlier for reasons other

than it being defective.

The SAV or any part of the SAV unless a failure

causes the SAV to fail to conform to applicable

emission regulations.

Any SAV on which the odometer has been

replaced or altered and the true mileage cannot

be determined.

The SAV, if the vehicle identification number is

altered or cannot be read, or if the SAV has been

declared a total loss or sold for salvage purposes.
