Under the hood

Hood

Releasing

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

Never attempt to perform any service
or repair operations on your vehicle

without the required, professional technical
training. When you are unfamiliar with the
service procedures and precautions,
always have any required work carried out
at your BMW center. Otherwise, the incor-
rect handling of parts and materials that
can occur during such attempts constitutes
a potential safety hazard, both for the vehi-
cle's occupants and for other road users.

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.
