Entering a car wash with a
Steptronic transmission
Safety note
NOTE
Selector lever position P is automatically en‐
gaged when standby state is switched off.
There is a danger of damage to property. Do
not switch off standby state in car washes.
General
In a car wash, the vehicle must be able to roll
freely.
Roll or push the vehicle, see page
140 .
Some car washes require you to get out of the
vehicle. It is not possible to lock the vehicle from
the outside in selector lever position N. If an at‐
tempt is made to lock the vehicle, a signal
sounds.
Exiting from a car wash
Ensure that the remote control is located in the
vehicle.
Switch on drive-ready state, see page
48 .
Headlights
Do not rub wet headlights dry and do not use
abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.
Soak impurities such as insect residues with
shampoo and wash off with water.
Remove ice with a de-icer spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle
After the vehicle has been washed, briefly apply
the brakes to dry them otherwise braking effec‐
tiveness may be temporarily reduced. The heat
generated by braking dries the brake discs and
brake pads, and protects them against corrosion.
Completely remove residues on the windscreens
to avoid affecting visibility due to smearing, and
to reduce wiping noise and wiper blade wear.
Vehicle care
Care products
General
BMW recommends using care and cleaning
products from BMW. Suitable care products are
available from a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
Safety note
WARNING
Cleaning agents can contain hazardous sub‐
stances or constitute a health risk. There is a
danger of injury. When cleaning the interior,
open the doors or windows. Use only products
that are intended for cleaning the vehicle's inte‐
rior. Observe the notes on the packaging.
Vehicle paintwork
General
Regular care promotes driving safety and pre‐
serves your vehicle's value. Environmental ef‐
fects in areas with higher air pollution or natural
contaminants, for example tree resin or leaf dust,
may have an effect on the vehicle paintwork.
Base the frequency and extent of vehicle care on
such factors.
Immediately remove aggressive substances, for
example spilled fuel, oil, grease or bird droppings
so as to prevent alterations and discolourations
of the paintwork.
