Under the hood

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

the required professional technical training.
If you do not know what repair procedures to
follow, have work on your vehicle done only by
your BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly 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 lever.

Opening

Press the release handle and open the hood.

You cannot start off with the hood open.

Closing

Close the hood from a height of approx. 16 in/
40 cm with momentum. 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 that the hood is not com-
pletely closed while driving your vehicle, you
should stop at once and close it securely.
