Working on the vehicle

Your BMW ActiveHybrid X6 is equipped with a
high-voltage system.
The BMW X6 Owner's Manual only describes
work on the vehicle that will not bring you into
contact with the high-voltage system.
Have more extensive work on your vehicle car-
ried out only by your BMW Sports Activity Vehi-
cle Center or a repair shop that works according
to BMW repair procedures with correspond-
ingly trained personnel.

Have maintenance and repair on the vehi-
cle carried out only by your BMW Sports

Activity Vehicle Center or a repair shop that
works in accordance with BMW guidelines and
uses appropriately trained personnel. Other-
wise, there is the risk of life-threatening injury
by electrocution due to the high voltage of the
hybrid system.

Never touch the high-voltage compo-
nents of the hybrid system; otherwise,

there is the risk of life-threatening injury by
electrocution due to the high voltage of the
hybrid system.

Do not remove the cover panel of the
cargo bay floor; otherwise, the high-volt-

age battery could be damaged.
