THE BMW MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
All BMW vehicles are equipped with an integrated BMW Maintenance
System. This maintenance “reminder” system helps ensure that the vehicle
inspections and maintenance service tasks are performed at the forecasted
intervals that apply to your vehicle.
The BMW Maintenance System display provides the vehicle operator access
to the current status information for the following maintenance service tasks:
ZVehicle check (date and miles)
ZFront brake pads (miles)
ZRear brake pads (miles)
ZBrake fluid (date)
For each specific maintenance service task, either the future date (month/
year), remaining miles or both are provided as noted above. The system
monitors variable inputs to forecast the intervals and alert the driver when
one or more specific maintenance tasks should be performed.
NOTE: The status of the front and rear brake pads will only be observable in
the maintenance system’s display when there are approximately 2,000 miles
or less remaining before a brake service will be required to be performed.
For information about the vehicle’s maintenance system displays, please
refer to the Maintenance Service Display Overview section beginning on
page 4.
The following maintenance service tasks may be identified as needing to
be performed with a specific occurrence of the Vehicle Check service task
(service counter number):
ZCabin microfilter(s)
Although this item does not appear in the BMW Maintenance System’s
display in the vehicle, these services should be performed in accordance with
the interval identified by your vehicle’s BMW Maintenance System.
For more information on your vehicle’s maintenance services requirements
procedures, and intervals, please refer the Maintenance Service Summary
section beginning on page 7.
