<strong>Service</strong> Interval Indicator (SII),<br />

resetting<br />

The SII signals the need for basic<br />

routine maintenance:<br />

Engine oil and oil filter change,<br />

after the engine has been warmed<br />

up.<br />

Note:<br />

<strong>BMW</strong>-recommended additional<br />

maintenance as listed in Table<br />

a.<br />

For reference, the <strong>BMW</strong> oil service<br />

requirements are approximately<br />

equivalent to the maintenance that<br />

other European manufacturers specify<br />

at intervals with a maximum of every<br />

15,000 miles or 12 months.<br />

When the specified maintenance has<br />

been carried out, the SII memory<br />

should be reset.<br />

1999 to 6/2000 models<br />

In vehicles equipped with the DLC in<br />

the right side engine compartment, the<br />

SII may be reset using <strong>BMW</strong> service<br />

and scan tool DIS or MoDiC, or a<br />

specialty tool from another<br />

manufacturer. Plug the tool (arrow)<br />

into the DLC<br />

CAUTION!<br />

Follow the manufacturer's directions<br />

when resetting the SII. If the reset<br />

procedures are done incorrectly, the<br />

reset tool or the electronic <strong>Service</strong><br />

Interval Indicator may be damaged.
