Atìen starting the engine in a garage or
eiclosed space, always open an outside
c}oor first. Remember that. the exhaust
gases contain odorless and invisible but
hghly toxic carbon monojxde.
AfÈer the engine has started, the battery
charge and oil pressure warning lamps
rill go out. lf either of these lamps re-
mains Qn, or comes on again during the
Pimey, see instructions in "DFìlvING
HNrTS, MINOR DEFECTS".
The brake warning lamp should go out
hffl the handbrake is released. How-

As a further contribution to active driving
safety, your BMW may be equipped as an
:]petàonTn:r:#bàs:7#pné;y:j:ìeamheaandd[jgahnt
additional washer fluid tank holding
approx. 5 liters (5.3 US quarts, 8.8 lmp.
pints).
If the car's lights are switched on, opera-
tion of the windshield wa§her will a[so
actuate the headlight cleaning system, at
intervals of approx. 30 seconds. Check
correct operatjon of the system at regular
intervals.
The electric heating elements on the
rear wi-ndow ensure unobstructed rear-
ward vision and remove or prevent mist-
ing over or ice formation during cold-
weather driving. Never clean the inside of
the rear window with a sharp object or a
powerful solvent, or the heating elements
may be damaged.
Rear vision should not be obstructed by
articles placed on the shelf below the rear
window, as these may be flung forwards
during an emergency brake application
and increase the risk of occupant injury.
Examine the vriper blades at frequent
intervals. lf they tend to smear or leave
areas of glass unwiped, there is a risk the
driver's vision will be impaired. Wiper
blades should therefore be renewed at
least once a year.
The rear fog guard light on your BMW
makes your car easier to locate and
identify from the rear in thick fog.
Fog lights improve your range of vision
just ahead of the car, and like the rear fog
guard light, are a useful `active safety'
factor.
Your BMW service station will gladly
install them subsequently if necessary.
H`owever, note that many countries have
statutory regulations governing the use
of these [ights.
The factory-approved radial-ply tires on
your BMW Coupé have been carefully
chosen to match its performance and
handling characteristics, and to offer not
