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 reg-
ulations to be observed, only have work on
your vehicle carried out by a BMW center
or a workshop that uses personnel trained
in accordance with BMW requirements. If
this work is not carried out properly, there
is a danger of subsequent damage and
related safety hazards.

Hood
Unlocking
Pull the lever located under the left side of
the instrument panel.
Opening
Pull the release handle and open the hood.
Closing
Close the hood from a height of approx.
16 in/40 cm with momentum. It must be
clearly heard to engage.
Observe the same precautions that
apply to all closing operations by
ensuring that the hood's travel range is
clear and unobstructed before allowing the
hood to fall into position.
If you see any signs that the hood is not
completely closed while you are driving
your vehicle, you should stop at once and
close it securely.
