Battery Care
Maintenance Schedule
If your car is driven only for short distances of
less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of
time, without an occasional drive at highway
speeds, the engine’s charging system will not
maintain the battery. Insufficient use of the
vehicle could result in short term starting
problems and in the long term could damage
the battery.
The maintenance schedule as shown is
required for the proper functioning of the
emission control systems for optimum vehicle
performance and fuel economy.

c) consult your BMW center regarding battery
removal. Once removed, the battery must
be charged and stored in a cool, dry place
where it can be protected from freezing. If
the battery will be stored for over 3
months, it must be recharged every 3
months, or else it will become damaged
and useless.

deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced to maximize
vehicle fuel economy and minimize exhaust
pollution.
Please consult with your BMW center for
further guidance and information.
