Jump starting

When your battery is discharged, you can use
two jumper cables to start your BMW with
power from the battery in a second vehicle. You
can also use the same method to help start
another vehicle. Use only jumper cables with
fully-insulated clamp handles.

To avoid the risk of potentially fatal injury,
always avoid all contact with electrical

components while the engine is running. Care-
fully adhere to the following sequence, both to
prevent damage to one or both vehicles, and to
guard against possible personal injuries.

<

Preparation

1.

Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and
approximately the same capacitance in Ah.
This information can be found on the bat-
tery.

2.

Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.

3.

Switch off any electrical systems and com-
ponents in both vehicles.

There must not be any contact between
the bodies of the two vehicles, otherwise

there is a danger of shorting.

<

Connecting jumper cables

To avoid personal injury from sparks, fol-
low this sequence when connecting

jumper cables.

<

On your BMW the so-called starting-aid termi-
nal in the engine compartment acts as the bat-
tery positive terminal, also refer to the engine
compartment overview on page
