Under the engine hood

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

without the required professional technical
training. If you are unaware of the regula-
tions that need to be observed, BMW rec-
ommends that you have this work per-
formed at a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
Center, as otherwise unqualified handling
of parts and materials can lead to safety
risk for vehicle occupants and other road
users.

Hood

Unlocking

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

Opening

Press the release handle and open the
engine hood.

Closing

Let the engine hood fall from approx. 1 ft/
30 cm so that it can be 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 driving your vehi-
cle, you should stop at once and close it
securely.
