Addendum
ADDENDUM TO OWNER'S MANUAL
We wanted to provide you with some updates
and clarifications with respect to the printed
BMW Owner's Manual. These updates and
clarifications will supersede the materials con-
tained in that document.
1. Where the terms “service center,” “the ser-
vice center,” “your service center,” “service
specialist,” or “service” are used in the
Owner's Manual, we wanted to clarify that
the terms refer to a BMW dealer's service
center or another service center or repair
shop that employs trained personnel that
can perform maintenance and repair work
on your vehicle in accordance with BMW
specifications.
2. Where the text of the Owner's Manual con-
tains an affirmative instruction to contact a
“service center” or “your service center,”
we wanted to clarify that BMW recom-
mends that, if you are faced with one of the
situations addressed by that text, you con-
tact or seek the assistance of a BMW
dealer's service center or another service
center or repair shop that employs trained
personnel that can perform maintenance
and repair work on your vehicle in accor-
dance with BMW specifications.
While BMW of North America LLC, at no
cost to you, will pay for repairs required by
the limited warranties provided with respect
to your vehicle and for maintenance under
the Maintenance Program during the appli-
cable warranty and maintenance coverage
periods, you are free to elect, both during
those periods and thereafter, to have main-
tenance and repair work provided by other
service centers or repair shops.
3. Where the Owner's Manual makes refer-
ence to parts and accessories having been
approved by BMW, those references are
intended to reflect that those parts and
accessories are recommended by BMW of
North America LLC. You may elect to use
other parts and accessories, but, if you do,
we recommend that you make sure that any
such parts and/or accessories are appropri-
ate for use on your vehicle.
4. At page 7, under the warranty section's dis-
cussion of homologation, where it states
that you “cannot lodge warranty claims for
your vehicle there,” the text should read
that you “may not be able to lodge warranty
claims for your vehicle there.”
5. At page 7, under the “Parts and accesso-
ries” section, the sentence beginning “For
your own safety … ,” should be disregarded
and the following the text should be read in
lieu thereof: “The manufacturer of your
vehicle recommends using genuine BMW
parts and accessories.” In the fifth sen-
tence, the word “cannot” should read “does
not.”
6. At page 49, in the “Checking and replacing
safety belts” section, the text beginning,
“Have the work performed only by your ser-
vice center …” should be disregarded and
the following text should be read in lieu
thereof: “BMW recommends having this
work performed by a service center as it is
important that this safety feature functions
properly.”
7. At page 134 under the heading: “Objects in
the area around the pedals” and at page
266 under the heading: “Carpets and floor
mats,” the paragraph that begins: “Only use
floor mats …” should be disregarded and
the following language should be read in
lieu thereof: “The manufacturer of your
vehicle recommends that you use floor
mats that have been identified by it as
appropriate for use in your vehicle and that
can be properly fixed in place.”
8. At page 140, under the heading: “Have
maintenance carried out,” the sentence
beginning, “Have the maintenance carried
out …” should be disregarded and the fol-
lowing text should be read in lieu thereof:
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 954 052 - II/15
