Unlocking

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

Never attempt to perform any ser-
vice or repair operations on your

vehicle without the required profes-
sional technical training. If you are not
familiar with the regulations to be
observed, only have work on your vehi-
cle carried out by a BMW Sports Activ-
ity Vehicle center or a workshop that
uses personnel trained in accordance
with BMW requirements. If this work is
not carried out properly, there is a dan-
ger of subsequent damage and related
safety hazards.

hood.

Closing

Allow the hood to fall from a height of
about 12 in/30 cm so that it audibly
engages.

Observe the same precautions
that apply to all closing operations

by ensuring that the hood's travel range
is clear and unobstructed before allow-
ing the hood to fall into position

If it is determined that the hood is not
completely closed while driving, stop
immediately and close it securely.
