Overview
Coolant temperature gauge Service Interval Display
Blue
The engine is still cold. Drive at mod-
erate engine and vehicle speeds.
Red
When you switch on the ignition, the
warning lamp comes on briefly to con-
firm that the system is operational.
If the lamp comes on in the course of
normal vehicle operation, the engine
has overheated. Switch it off immedi-
ately and let it cool down.
Checking coolant level, refer to

Between the blue and red zones
Normal operating range. It is not
unusual for the needle to rise as far as
the edge of the red zone in response
to high outside temperatures or severe
operating conditions.
Remaining distance before
service
The displays shown in the illustration
appear for a few seconds when the
ignition key is in position 1 or after the
engine is started.
The remaining distance in miles/km and
the next scheduled service will appear
together with the display OILSERVICE
or INSPECTION.
The computer bases its calculations for
the remaining distance on the previous
driving style.
A flashing display and a – in front of the
number indicate that service is past due
by the number of miles/km displayed.
Please contact your BMW center for an
appointment.
