Fuses

Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-

stitute of another color or amperage rating; oth-
erwise, this could lead to a circuit overload, ulti-
mately resulting in a fire in the vehicle.

Accessing the fuse box:

Open the glove compartment.

Remove the damper, arrow

lower holder by applying forward pressure.

Disengage the glove compartment by
pressing on both tabs, arrows

down.

Plastic tweezers are located on the distributor
box.
Information on fuse assignment can be found
next to the distributor box.
Spare fuses are available from your BMW cen-
ter.
After replacing a fuse, press the glove compart-
ment upward until it engages and reattach the
damper.
