Under the hood

Never attempt to perform any service or
repair operations on your vehicle without

the required professional technical training. If
you are not familiar with the regulations to be
observed, have work on your vehicle carried out
only by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Cen-
ter or at a workshop that works according to
BMW repair procedures with appropriately
trained personnel. If this work is not carried out
properly, there is a danger of subsequent dam-
age and related safety hazards.

Hood

Unlocking

Pull the lever located under the left side of the
instrument cluster.

Opening

To avoid causing damage, make sure that
wiper arms are resting against the wind-

shield before opening the hood.

Press the release handle and open the hood.

Closing

Close the hood with force by allowing it to fall
from a height of approx. 1 ft/30 cm. It must
engage audibly.

Avoid injuries by making sure that the
hood's closing region is clear and unob-

structed.
If you see any signs that the hood is not com-
pletely closed while driving your vehicle, you
should stop at once and close it securely.
