Under the hood

Do not work on the car unless you pos-
sess the necessary technical knowledge.

If you are unfamiliar with the statutory guide-
lines, have any work on the vehicle performed
only by a BMW center or by a workshop that
work according to BMW repair procedures with
correspondingly trained personnel. If this work
is not carried out properly, there is a danger of
subsequent damage and related safety haz-
ards.

Hood

Releasing

Pull the lever.

Opening

In order to avoid damage, make sure that
the wiper arms are against the windshield

before you open the hood.

Press the release handle and open the hood.

Closing

Close the hood from a height of approx. 16 in/
40 cm with momentum. It must be clearly heard
to engage.

Make sure that the closing path of the
hood is clear, otherwise injuries may

result.
If you see any signs while driving your vehicle
that the hood is not completely closed, stop at
once and close it securely.
