The BMW Maintenance System has been devised with the following objectives: vehicle safety, reliability, and minimize breakdowns resulting from wear and tear, at minimum cost. The Service Interval Light system will indicate when you are due for service.

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.

Whenever the ignition is switched is on, up to five green lights will light up, then depending on vehicle the green lights will systematically turn off one by one. As you approach the last green light, this is an indication that the next service is almost due. You then should make the necessary arrangements to have your car serviced.

When the last green light turns off, a yellow light appears with one of the inscriptions (oil service or Inspection I or Inspection II). This indicates that your next maintenance service is due immediately.

If you continue to delay maintenance service, the yellow light and red light appear together with one of the inscriptions (oil service or Inspection I or Inspection II). You should avoid driving your BMW and have the essential work performed without any further delay. This insure the interest of road safety and reliability to you and other drivers.
