Only your BMW center is to carry out
any work on the rollover protection sys-

Work done on the system that is carried

Regarding having the system checked
to ensure long-term operation: be scru-
pulous in adhering to the Service Inter-
val Display for maintenance intervals.
Every two years at the latest, the roll-
over protection system must be
inspected by a BMW center.
