If there is a change in steering behavior,
for instance greater steering effort or
if steering becomes lighter as speed
increases:
Contact your BMW center immediately
for an inspection.
If the power steering fails, in-
creased effort will be required to
steer the vehicle.<
Mobile communications systems (cellu-
lar phone, radio, etc.) are only allowed a
power output of up to 10 watts. Mobile
communications devices not specifi-
cally designed for use in your car may
trigger malfunctions in the operation of
your vehicle. BMW can neither test nor
assume responsibility for every individ-
ual product being offered on the mar-
ket. We recommend that you consult
your BMW center before purchasing
any device of this kind.
To ensure that your BMW continues to
provide reliable and trouble-free opera-
tion, do not use a cellular phone or
other radio device with an antenna
located inside the passenger compart-
ment. The antenna should always be
mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
Before loading the vehicle on
a car-carrier train or driving it
through a car-wash, remove the an-
tenna.<
The reception and sound quality ob-
tained from mobile radios varies accord-
ing to a variety of factors, including the
broadcast range of the transmitter and
the directional orientation of the an-
tenna.
Interference factors such as high-ten-
sion power lines, buildings and natural
obstructions can all lead to unavoidable
reception interference, regardless of
how well the vehicle's sound system is
operating. Climatic factors such as in-
tense solar radiation, fog, rain and snow
can also interfere with reception.
Cellular phones without formal BMW
approval can also generate interfer-
ence. This phenomenon assumes the
form of a low-pitched hum emanating
from the speaker system.
Please refer to the supplementary
Owner‘s Manual provided with your
sound system for detailed information
on its use.
