Coolant

Do not add coolant to the cooling

system when the engine is hot.

Escaping coolant can cause burns.<

Coolant consists of water and coolant

additive. Not all commercially available

additives are suitable for your BMW.

Ask your BMW Sport Activity Vehicle

center for suitable additives.

Only use suitable additives, as

otherwise engine damage may

result. The additives present a health

hazard.<

Always observe all applicable

environmental rules and regula-

tions when disposing of used coolant

additives.<

Checking coolant level

1. The engine must be at ambient tem-

perature

2. Start by turning the cap of the expan-

sion tank counter-clockwise. Pause

to allow any accumulated pressure to

escape, then open

3. The coolant level is correct when the

end of the red float is aligned with

the upper edge of the filler opening,

refer to the arrow in the illustration,

or max. 0.8 in/2 cm higher, i. e. up to

the mark on the float, refer also to the

schematic diagram, next to the cap

530us102

4. If the coolant is low, slowly add cool-

ant up to the specified level – do not

overfill

5. Twist closed the cap and tighten

firmly

6. Have the reason for the coolant loss

eliminated as soon as possible.
