any questions concerning the battery.

Charging the battery

When charging the battery in the vehi-
cle, leave the engine off at all times.

the old battery disposed of by

your BMW center or bring it to a recy-
cling point. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and stor-
age. Secure the battery against falling
over in transit.

Power loss

After a temporary power loss, e.g. due
to a discharged battery, some equip-
ment will be limited in its use and will
have to be reinitialized. Individual set-
tings are also lost and must be reset:
> Seat and mirror memory

The position settings must be stored
again, refer to page

> Radio

Stations must be reset, refer to the
Owner's Manual for Radio/Onboard
Computer

immediately, refer to the Owner's

puter.

Fuses

You will find the fuses and information
on their respective allocation in the
glove compartment behind a panel with
two snap clips.

Do not attempt to repair a blown
fuse or replace it with a fuse

having a different color or amperage
rating. To do this could cause a fire in
the vehicle resulting from a circuit over-
load.
