Description of Indicator Light |
|
The Service Interval Indicator continually evaluates your BMW's actual performance condition and accurately determines when your car requires service. In most instances this will mean fewer service visits, since maintenance is needed only when your BMW calls for it. |
 |
Advanced technology calculates the optimum service interval. When service is due, an oil service or inspection message will appear along with the remaining miles. |
 |
Should your vehicle surpass the recommended service interval, a negative sign ("–") will appear adjacent to the remaining distance. In the event your BMW travels considerably less than 6,200 miles (10,000 km) annually, the oil should still be changed once a year, as it will age despite infrequent usage. |
