Maintenance
Modern BMW's use a Service Interval Light system. The lights will indicate when you are due for service based on your driving habits
The Service Indicator consists of five green, one yellow, and one red light and the inscriptions: "Oil service" and "Inspection" located on your instrument panel.
Normal Conditions
Up to five green lights illuminate depending on vehicle use since new or last maintenance. Reduction of illuminated green lights is a countdown for the next service due.
Oil Service Alert
All green lights are off and only the yellow light is illuminated along with the "Oil Service" sign, alerting you that oil service is necessary.
Insepction Service Alert
All green lights are off and only the yellow light is illuminated along with the "Inspection" sign, alerting you that this service is necessary.
Overdue Inspection Service Alert
The red light will illuminate along with the yellow one to serve as a warning that service is overdue; and in the interest of read safety and reliability, avoid driving your BMW. Schedule an appointment immediately.
Re-set to Normal Condition
Once the required service is performed, the technician resets the service interval indicator to "normal" conditions to compute the next service / maintenance interval
