The code number is embossed on the
front of the adapter. Please make a
careful note of this number and keep it
in a safe place, in case the adapter is
lost.

Battery

Maintenance

The battery is completely maintenance-
free, which means that in moderate cli-
matic conditions the original acid filling
is sufficient for the battery's entire oper-
ating life. Your BMW Service will be
happy to advise you on all matters con-
cerning the battery.

Recharging the battery

Always charge the battery in the car
with the engine stopped, using the con-
nections in the engine compartment.
For the positions of these connections,
see the section on jump starting on
page

Disposal

Have your BMW Service dispose
of old batteries after they are

removed, or bring the batteries to an
authorised collecting point. Batteries
filled with acid should be transported
and stored upright. Protect batteries
against falling over when in transit.

Power supply interruption

If the power supply is temporarily inter-
rupted, as is the case if the battery runs
flat, for example, some items of equip-
ment will not be fully functional until
they have been reinitialised. Custom
settings, too, are lost and have to be re-
entered:
> Seat and mirror memory

The positions have to be re-entered
in memory, see page

> Time

The clock has to be reset, see
page

> Radio

The radio stations have to be re-
entered in memory, see the operating
instructions for the radio/on-board
monitor

> Navigation system

You must wait until full operability is
restored, see the operating instruc-
tions for the radio/on-board monitor.
