Windshield and headlamp washer
system

Approximate capacity is 8.2 quarts/
7.8 liters.

Fill with water and — if required — with
the addition of a washer antifreeze,
according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to

the reservoir.

<

Antifreeze agent for the washer
systems is inflammable. For this

reason, keep it away from sources of
flame and store it only in its original
containers. Store it so that it is inacces-
sible to children. Comply with the
instructions on the containers.

Checking oil level

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface
2. Switch the engine off after it has

reached normal operating tempera-
ture

3. After approx. 5 minutes, pull the dip-

stick out and wipe it off with a clean
lint-free cloth, paper towel, or similar
material

4. Push the dipstick carefully all the way

into the guide tube and pull it out
again

5. The oil level should be in between

the two marks on the dipstick.

As with fuel economy, oil consumption
is directly influenced by your driving
style and vehicle operating conditions.

The oil volume between the two marks
on the dipstick corresponds to approx.
1.1 US quarts/1 liter. Do not fill beyond
the upper mark on the dipstick. Excess
oil will damage the engine.

X5 4.8is:
With a very sporty driving style, the
engine oil level should be at the upper
mark on the dipstick.
