Thorough familiarity with your vehicle will provide you with enhanced control and security when you drive it. [. . . ] For this reason, they have a major effect on the vehicle's handling and steering response. You should therefore always remember not to exceed the approved roof load capacity, the approved gross vehicle weight or the axle loads when loading the rack. You will find the specifications for this under "Technical Data" on page 172. Make sure that the load is not too large in size, and distribute it evenly. Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising the sunroof, and that objects do not project into the opening path of the luggage compartment lid. Secure the roof luggage correctly and securely to prevent it from shifting or being lost during driving (danger to following traffic). < Drive smoothly and avoid sudden acceleration and braking. 01 41 0 156 441 - © 10/01 BMW AG Index Data Technology Repairs Maintenance Controls Overview 96n Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 441 - © 10/01 BMW AG 97n Special operating instructions: Break-in procedure 98 Driving notes 99 Catalytic converter 100 Antilock Brake System (ABS) 101 Disc brakes 103 Brake system 104 Winter operation 105 Power steering 106 Cellular phone 107 Car radio reception 107 Hardtop ­ roadster 108 Wheels and tires: Notes on inflation pressures 110 Tire condition 110 Tire replacement 111 Tire rotation 113 Wheel and tire combinations 114 Special features of winter tires 115 Snow chains 115 Approved wheel and tire specifications 116 In the engine compartment: Hood 118 Engine compartment 120 Fluids for the washer systems 122 Washer nozzles 122 Engine oil 123 Coolant 125 Brake fluid 126 Vehicle Identification 127 Care and maintenance: The BMW Maintenance System 128 Airbags 130 Storing your vehicle 130 Laws and regulations: Technical modifications 132 California Proposition 65 Warning 132 OBD interface socket 133 Operation, maintenance Owner service procedures Technology Repairs Index Maintenance Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 441 - © 10/01 BMW AG Advanced technology Technical data Data Index Maintenance Controls Controls and features Overview Overview 98nBreak-in procedure Tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full traction potential until an initial break-in period has elapsed. You should therefore drive with extra caution during the initial 200 miles (300 km). When the vehicle is operated on wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water may form between the tire and the road surface. This phenomenon is referred to as aquaplaning or hydroplaning, and can lead to partial or complete loss of traction, vehicle control and braking effectiveness. Reduce your speed on wet roads. < To ensure that your vehicle provides maximum economy throughout a long service life, we request that you observe the following: Brake system Approx. 300 miles (500 km) must elapse before the brake pads and rotors achieve the optimal surface and wear pattern. To break-in the separate parking brake drums, apply the parking brake lightly when coasting to a standstill (at a traffic signal, for instance), provided that traffic conditions allow you to do so. Vacuum for the brake system booster on your BMW is available only when the engine is running. When you move the vehicle with the engine off ­ for instance, by towing ­ substantially higher levels of pedal force will be required to brake the vehicle. < Engine and differential Up to 1, 200 miles (2, 000 km): Drive with varying engine and road speeds, but do not exceed 4, 500 rpm or 100 mph (150 km/h). Refrain from using full throttle and avoid pressing the accelerator beyond the kickdown point. After you have driven 1, 200 miles (2, 000 km), you can gradually increase the engine and road speeds. You should also comply with these break-in procedures if the engine or differential is replaced later in the course of the vehicle's service life. Clutch The clutch will reach optimal function after approx. Shift gears carefully during the break-in period.
