Overview
Driving notes
Should engine braking prove inadequate, you should still avoid extended, continuous braking. Instead, decelerate the vehicle with increased pressure on the brake pedal (watch for following traffic), release the pedal and then repeat the brake application (staggered braking). This staggered braking technique allows the brakes to cool in the intervals between active braking phases, preventing overheating and ensuring that full braking capacity remains available at all times.

Winter operation
The onset of winter is often accompanied by rapid changes in weather. Adaptations in driving style should be accompanied by preparations on the vehicle itself to ensure that your vehicle operation through the winter remains safe and trouble-free.

Coolant
Ensure that the coolant contains the year-round 50:50 ratio of water and antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor. This mixture provides protection against freezing down to approximately 34 7 (37 6). Replace the coolant every three years.

Driving on low-traction road surfaces
Use smooth, gentle pressure to control the accelerator pedal. Avoid excessive engine speeds and shift to the next higher gear at an early point. Shift down into the next lowest gear when approaching uphill or downhill grades. Maintain an adequate distance between yourself and the car ahead.
Locks
BMW door lock deicer can be used to free the doors if they are frozen. After using deicer, treatment with BMW lock cylinder grease is recommended.
Brakes
Winter road conditions substantially reduce the traction available between the tires and the road surface.
