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

To avoid damage, make sure that the
wiper arms are against the windshield

before you open the engine compartment. Do
not open the engine hood before the engine has
cooled down, otherwise injuries may result.

Press the release handle and open the hood.

Closing

Let the hood drop from a height of approx. 10 in/
25 cm. 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.
