Hood

To release

Pull the lever located under the left-
hand side of the instrument panel.

Do not attempt to service your
vehicle if you do not have the

required technical background. If you
are not familiar with the regulations to
be observed, have your vehicle ser-
viced only by a BMW center or a shop
that works according to BMW require-
ments with appropriately trained per-
sonnel. Work that is improperly carried
out could result in consequential dam-
age and pose safety hazards.

To open

Pull the release handle and open the
hood.

It is not possible to drive off using
SMG Drivelogic when the hood is

open.

To close

Pull the hood downwards and allow the
hood to fall from a minimum height of
1 ft/30 cm so that it audibly engages.
Check for proper locking by pulling on
the hood at the left and right above the
headlamps.

To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the hood is clear

when it is closed, following the same
safety precautions used in all closing
procedures.
If you notice while driving that the hood
is not completely closed, stop immedi-
ately and close it securely.
