Battery
Charge condition
You can read the charge condition
of the battery with the "Magic Eye"
(a hydrometer):
> Green: adequate charge.
> Black: not adequately charged. The
battery has to be recharged. Please
contact your BMW center for addi-
tional information.
> Yellow: replace the battery.
The service life specified for the
battery can be achieved only if it
is always kept adequately charged.
Check the charge condition of the bat-
tery frequently if the vehicle is used pri-
marily for driving short distances.<

Removal and installation
Do not disconnect the battery
when the engine is running. If
you do so, the ensuing voltage surge
will damage the vehicle's onboard
electronics.
Do not alter the positive terminal wiring
in any way. If you do so, the Battery
Safety Terminal's safety function will no
longer be guaranteed. Repair and dis-
posal must be performed by trained
technicians only.<

When removing the battery, disconnect
the cable on the negative terminal first,
then the cable on the positive terminal.
When installing a battery, connect the
positive terminal first, then connect the
negative terminal.
When installing the battery, be
sure that it is mounted securely in
the battery well and that the cover is
installed. If the battery is not mounted
and fastened properly, it will not be
adequately secured in case of an
accident.<
