2007 BMW Z4 3.0i 3.0si E85 Owners Manual

Driving
Ignition lock
Starting the engine
Engine idle speed is controlled by the engine
computer system. Increased speeds at start-up
are normal and should decrease as the engine
warms up. If engine speed does not decrease,
service is required.
To prevent the battery from discharging, always
deactivate electrical devices that are not in use.
Switch the ignition off when the vehicle is not
being driven.
Do not leave the engine running in
enclosed spaces. Otherwise, inhalation of
the hazardous exhaust gases could lead to
unconsciousness and death. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless
and colorless, but highly toxic gas. Do not leave
the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
An unattended vehicle with a running engine
poses a safety hazard.
Before leaving the car with the engine running,
place the transmission in idle or move the
selector lever to position P and apply the park-
ing brake to prevent the car from moving.<
