Coolant temperature gauge
Service Interval Display 63n
Between the blue and red zones
Normal operating range. It is not
unusual for the needle to rise as far as
the edge of the red zone in response
to high outside temperatures or severe
operating conditions.
For checking coolant level, refer to
page 113.
Blue
Remaining distance before
service
The engine is still cold. Drive at
moderate engine and vehicle speeds.
The displays shown in the illustration
appear for a few seconds when the
ignition key is in position 1 or after the
engine is started.
Red
When you switch on the ignition, the
warning lamp comes on briefly to
confirm that the system is operational.
The remaining distance in miles and the
next scheduled service will appear
together with the display OILSERVICE
or INSPECTION.
If the lamp comes on in the course of
normal vehicle operation, the engine
has overheated. Turn it off immediately
and let it cool down.
The computer bases its calculations for
the remaining distance on the previous
driving style.
A flashing display and a "–" in front of
the number indicate that service is past
due by the number of miles displayed.
Please contact your BMW center for an
appointment.
