Starting the engine

Before starting

> Engage the parking brake
> Be sure that the transmission selector
is in "Neutral" (or "Park" if the vehicle
is equipped with an automatic trans-
mission)
> Step on the clutch pedal.
Do not allow the engine to run in
enclosed spaces. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and colorless, but highly toxic
gas. Breathing the exhaust gases poses
an extreme health risk, and can lead to
unconsciousness and death.
Never leave the car unattended with the
engine running. An unattended vehicle
with a running engine represents a po-
tential safety hazard.<

Starting the engine

> Start the engine. Do not press the
accelerator pedal.
BMW 528i, BMW 540i with man-
ual transmission:
Do not actuate the starter for too short
a time. Do not turn it for more than ap-
prox. 20 seconds. Release the ignition
key immediately as soon as the engine
starts.
Do not allow the engine to warm up by
leaving it running while the vehicle re-
mains stationary. Instead, begin driving
immediately at a moderate engine
speed.
BMW 540i with automatic transmission:
Your BMW is equipped with the conve-
nience starting feature. Simply turn the
key to position 3 (starter) and then re-
lease it immediately.
The starter continues to operate auto-
matically.
The automatic starting mode will not
operate if the battery voltage is low.
Should this condition arise, it remains
possible to jump-start the engine (refer
to page 182).<
Should the engine fail to start on the
first attempt (if it is very hot or cold, for
instance):
> Press the accelerator pedal halfway
down while engaging the starter.
Cold starts at extremely low tempera-
tures, from approx. +57 (–156)
and at elevations above 3,300 feet
(1,000 meters):
> It may be necessary to allow the
starter to remain engaged somewhat
longer than under normal operating
conditions (approx. 10 seconds)
> Press the accelerator pedal halfway
down while engaging the starter.
Engine idle speed is controlled by the
engine computer system. Increased
speeds at startup are normal and
should decrease as the engine warms
up. If engine speed does not decrease,
service is required.
To prevent the battery from discharg-
ing, always deactivate electrical de-
vices which are not in use. Switch the
ignition off when the vehicle is not
being driven.
