BMW 3.0si Roadster & Coupe (2006 year). Instruction

Driving

Cleaning windshield

The system sprays washer fluid against the
windshield and activates the wipers for a brief
period.
The windshield washer nozzles are automati-
cally heated

when the engine is running or the

ignition is on.

Cleaning headlamps*

When the vehicle lighting system is switched
on, the headlamps are cleaned at regular and
appropriate intervals.

Washer fluid

Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable. For
this reason, keep it away from sources of

flame and store it only in its original container.
Store it so that it is inaccessible to children.
Comply with the instructions on the con-
tainer.

Washer fluid reservoir

Fill with water and, if required, with antifreeze
according to its manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.

Mix the water and antifreeze before filling
the washer fluid reservoir to make sure

the correct concentration is maintained.

Capacity

Approx. 5.3 US quarts/5 liters.

Cruise control*

The concept

Cruise control is available at speeds of at least
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. The car stores and
maintains the speed that you specify with the
lever on the steering column.

Do not use cruise control if conditions are
unfavorable for driving at a constant

speed, e.g. due to winding roads, dense traffic,
or poor road conditions such as snow, rain, ice,
loose surface, etc. Otherwise, you could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident.

The car's current speed is stored and main-
tained.
If, on downhill grades, the engine braking effect
is not sufficient, the controlled speed can be
exceeded. Speed can drop on uphill grades if
the engine output is insufficient.

To increase speed

Tap the lever repeatedly, arrow

1, until the

desired speed is reached.
Every time you tap the lever, the speed
increases by approx. 1 mph/1 km/h.

is reached.
The vehicle accelerates without pressure on
the accelerator pedal. The system stores and
maintains the speed.

To decrease speed

Pull the lever repeatedly, arrow

2, until the

desired speed is reached.
Functions are the same as with increasing
speed or accelerating, except the speed is
decreased.

Deactivating cruise control

Tap the lever upwards or downwards, arrow

In addition, the system is automatically deacti-
vated:

When you brake the vehicle

When you engage the clutch or shift to idle
in cars with manual transmission

When you select the automatic transmis-
sion's neutral position N

When you drive faster or slower than the set
speed for a longer period of time, e.g. by
pressing the accelerator pedal

When the DSC comes on

You can recall the speed last stored.

To recall the stored speed

Briefly press the button, arrow

3. The speed last

stored is achieved again and maintained.
The stored speed is deleted as soon as the igni-
tion is switched off.

Technology for driving comfort and safety

Driving stability control

systems

Your BMW is equipped with a series of systems
that help maintain driving stability even in
adverse driving situations.

Antilock Brake System ABS

ABS keeps the wheels from locking during
braking. Steering stability is maintained even
during full brake applications. In this way, active
safety is enhanced.
ABS is operational each time the engine is
started. Braking safely, refer to page

Electronic brake-force distribution

The system controls brake-force application at
the rear wheels in order to obtain increased sta-
bility in the vehicle's braking response.

Dynamic Brake Control DBC

When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system
automatically produces the maximum braking
force boost and thus helps to achieve the short-
est possible braking distance during full brak-
ing. At the same time, the benefits of the ABS
are also exploited.
As long as you want full braking to continue, do
not reduce pressure on the brake.

Dynamic Stability Control DSC

DSC prevents slip at the drive wheels while
starting off and accelerating the vehicle. DSC
also recognizes unstable vehicle conditions,
such as fishtailing or nose-diving. In these
cases, and subject to physical limits, DSC helps
to keep the vehicle on a steady course by
reducing engine speed and by applying brakes
at individual wheels.

The laws of physics cannot be repealed
even with DSC. It will always be the

driver's responsibility to drive in a manner that
matches road conditions. Therefore, do not

limit the additional safety margin by practicing
risky driving.

Deactivating DSC

Press the button for at least 3 seconds; the indi-
cator lamp for DSC lights up in the instrument
cluster. Dynamic Traction Control DTC and
DSC have been deactivated simultaneously. No
more interventions to increase stability and for-
ward momentum are carried out.
To enhance vehicle stability, reactivate DSC as
soon as possible.

Activating DSC

Press the button again; the indicator lamp goes
out in the instrument cluster.

Checking

The indicator lamp flashes:
DSC controls the drive forces and
brake forces.

The indicator lamp is lit:
DSC has been deactivated completely.

Dynamic Traction Control DTC

DTC is a variant of the DSC in which forward
momentum is optimized for special road condi-
tions, e.g. snow-covered roads that have not
yet been cleared. The system ensures maxi-
mum forward momentum, but driving stability is
limited. Therefore, drive carefully in accordance
with conditions.

Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 012 083 - © 04/06 BMW AG

chnology for

driving comfort

and

safe

In the following exceptional circumstances, it
may be effective to activate the DTC for a short
period:

When driving on snow-covered grades, in
slush or on uncleared, snow-covered roads

When rocking the vehicle or starting off in
deep snow or on loose surfaces

When driving with snow chains

Activating DTC

Press the button briefly; the DTC indicator lamp
lights up in the instrument cluster.

Checking

Deactivating DTC

Press the button again; the DTC indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster goes out.

Malfunction in the driving stability
control systems

Have the system checked as soon as possible.

Drive cautiously, think well ahead and
avoid full brake applications, otherwise

unstable driving conditions could result.

The vehicle remains operational. Have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.

Drive cautiously and think well ahead,
otherwise unstable driving conditions

could result.

Drive-off assistant

The drive-off assistant enables you to drive off
smoothly on uphill gradients. It is not necessary
to use the handbrake for this.

Hold the car in place by depressing the
brake.

Release the brake and drive off without
delay.

The drive-off assistant holds the car in
place for approx. 2 seconds after the

brake is released. Depending on vehicle load,
the car may roll backwards a little during this
time span. Drive off without delay after releas-
ing the brake. Otherwise, the drive-off assistant
will no longer hold the car in place after approx.
2 seconds and the car will start to roll back-
wards.

The indicator lamp flashes:
DTC controls the drive forces and
brake forces.

The indicator lamp is lit:
DTC has been activated.

The warning lamp for the brake system
lights up in red, together with the yel-
low indicator lamps for ABS and DSC:
The driving stability control systems
have failed.

Canadian models display these warn-
ing lamps.

The DSC warning lamp lights up
together with the yellow warning lamp
for the brake system:
DSC, including DTC and DBC, are
malfunctioning.

Canadian models display these warn-
ing lamps.

Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 012 083 - © 04/06 BMW AG

Malfunction

The warning lamp for the brake system
lights up in yellow. The drive-off assis-
tant has failed. The car will not be held

in place after the brake is released. Have the
system checked as soon as possible.

Flat Tire Monitor FTM

The concept

The Flat Tire Monitor monitors tire pressures
while the car is being driven. The system
reports any significant loss of pressure in one
tire in relation to another.
In the event of tire pressure loss, the rolling
radius of the tire changes, thereby affecting the
rotational speed of the wheels. This change is
detected, and a flat tire warning is issued to the
driver.

System requirements

To ensure a reliable flat tire warning, the system
must be initialized with the correct tire inflation
pressures.

The system must be reinitialized each
time a tire inflation pressure has been cor-

rected or a wheel or tire has been changed.

System limitations

The Flat Tire Monitor is unable to warn
the driver of sudden, severe tire damage

caused by external factors, nor can it identify
the gradual loss of pressure that will inevitably
occur in all four tires over a lengthy period of
time.

The system could issue a false warning or func-
tion in a delayed manner in the following situa-
tions:

System was not initialized

Driving on a snow-covered or slippery road
surface

Performance-oriented driving: slip at the
drive wheels, high levels of lateral accelera-
tion

Driving with snow chains attached

Initializing the system

The initialization is completed while you
are driving, and can be interrupted at any

time. Initialization is continued automatically
when you continue driving.
When driving with snow chains, do not initialize
the system.

Start the engine immediately before pulling
away, but do not drive off yet.

Press the button until the yellow indicator
lamp in the instrument cluster lights up for a
few seconds.

Drive off.
Initialization is completed during the drive,
without any feedback issued.

Flat tire warning

The warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up in red. A signal also
sounds. There is a flat tire or a signifi-

cant loss of tire pressure.

Cautiously reduce speed to 50 mph/
80 km/h or lower. Avoid strong braking and
steering maneuvers. Do not exceed a maxi-
mum speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.

If the car is not equipped with Run-
Flat Tires, refer to page

, the stan-

dard equipment by design, do not continue
driving. Otherwise a severe accident could
result after a tire puncture.

At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.

If the inflation pressure is correct in all
four tires, it is possible that the Flat

Tire Monitor was not initialized. In this case,
initialize the system.

Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 012 083 - © 04/06 BMW AG

chnology for

driving comfort

and

safe

In the event of complete tire pressure loss,
0 psi/0 kilopascal, you can estimate the
possible distance for continued driving on
the basis of the following guidelines:

With a light load:
1 person without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km

With a medium load:
1 person, cargo bay full,
or
2 persons without luggage:
approx. 90 miles/150 km

With a full load:
2 persons, cargo bay full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km.

Drive cautiously. Do not exceed a speed
of 50 mph/80 km/h. Driving characteris-

tics change if there is a loss of tire pressure.
This includes reduced tracking stability in brak-
ing, extended braking distance and altered nat-
ural steering characteristics.
If unusual vibration or loud noises occur during
the journey, this may be an indication that the
damaged tire has finally failed. Reduce your
speed and pull over to the side of the road at the
earliest opportunity. Otherwise, parts of the tire
could come loose and cause an accident. Do
not continue driving. Contact a BMW Center.

Electric Power Steering EPS

The concept

The electric power steering is a direct, sporting
steering system. A special combination of elec-
tric motor and transmission helps you steer
more easily. As your speed increases, steering
power assistance is reduced.

Malfunction

The indicator lamp stays lit:
The system is malfunctioning or defec-
tive.

Steering remains operational.
Have the system checked as soon as possible.

Brake Force Display

The brake lamps light up in two stages,
depending on how sharply you apply the
brakes.

Normal braking:
The brake lamps and the center brake lamp
light up.

Sharp braking:
A larger portion of the brake lamps lights up.

Airbags

The following airbags are located under the
marked covers:
1 Front airbags
2 Side airbags
3 Knee airbags

Protective action

Comply with the instructions on page

or the occupants' personal safety will be

diminished.

The front airbags help protect the driver and
passenger in the event of a frontal impact in
which safety belts alone cannot provide suffi-
cient protection. When needed, the side airbags

Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 012 083 - © 04/06 BMW AG

help provide protection in the event of side
impact. The relevant side airbag supports the
side upper body area. The respective knee air-
bag protects the legs from hitting the cockpit.
The airbags will purposely not be activated by
every collision, e.g. not by more minor acci-
dents, or rear-end collisions.

Do not apply adhesive materials to the
cover panels of the airbags, cover them or

modify them in any other way. Do not attempt to
dismantle the airbag retention system. Do not
modify the individual components of the sys-
tem or its wiring in any way. This includes the
padding in the steering wheel, the dashboard
and the doors.
Do not attempt to remove or dismantle the
steering wheel. Do not touch the individual
components immediately after the system has
been triggered, because there is a danger of
burns.
In the event of malfunctions, deactivation, or
triggering of the airbag restraint system, have
the testing, repair, removal, and disposal of air-
bag generators executed only by a BMW Cen-
ter or a workshop that works according to BMW
repair procedures with correspondingly trained
personnel and has the required explosives
licenses. Unprofessional attempts to service
the system could lead to failure in an emer-
gency or undesired airbag activation, either of
which could result in personal injury.

Warning notices and information about the air-
bags can also be found on the sun visors.

Automatic deactivation of the

passenger airbags

An analysis of the impression in the passenger
seat cushion determines whether and how the
seat is occupied. The front and side airbags for
the passenger are activated or deactivated by
the system accordingly.

The indicator lamp in the center console
shows the current status of the passen-

ger airbags, deactivated or activated, refer to
Status of passenger airbags below.

Before transporting a child on the pas-
senger seat, observe the safety and han-

dling instructions under Transporting children
safely, refer to page

Adolescents and adults sitting in certain posi-
tions could inadvertently deactivate the front
and side airbags on the passenger side; the
indicator lamp for the passenger airbags comes
on. In such cases, the passenger should change
his or her sitting position so that the passenger
airbags are activated and the indicator lamp
goes out. If the passenger airbags cannot be
restored to the desired status despite the pas-
senger changing his or her seat position, use
the key switch to activate or deactivate the pas-
senger airbags, refer to page

. Do not attach

seat covers, seat cushion padding, ball mats or
other items to the passenger seat unless they
are specifically recommended by BMW. Do not
place any items under the seat which could
press against the seat from below. Otherwise a
correct analysis of the seat cushion is not
ensured.

Status of passenger airbags

The center console contains one of the indica-
tor lamps for the passenger airbags shown in
the illustration.
The indicator lamp for the passenger airbags
shows the functional status of the passenger's
front and side airbags in accordance with
whether and how the passenger seat is occu-
pied. The indicator lamp shows whether the
passenger airbags are activated or deactivated.

The indicator lamp comes on as intended
when a child in an appropriate child-
restraint system is detected on the seat.
The front and side airbags for the passen-
ger are not activated.

chnology for

driving comfort

and

safe

The indicator lamp does not come on as
long as a person of sufficient size and in a
correct sitting position is detected on the
seat. The front and side airbags for the pas-
senger are activated.

The indicator lamp does not come on if the
seat is empty. However, the front and side
airbags for the passenger are not activated.

Operational readiness of the airbag
system

With the ignition key in position 1 or higher, the
warning lamp comes on briefly to indicate that
the entire airbag system and the belt tensioners
are operational.

Airbag system malfunction
