Battery Fuses
Removal and installation
Do not disconnect the battery
when the engine is running. Dis-
connecting the battery cable when the
engine is running will cause a voltage
surge which will damage the vehicle's
onboard electronics.
Do not make any modifications in the
wires to the positive terminal. If you do
so, the protective function of the safety
battery terminal is no longer ensured.
Repairs and disposal may only be
performed by specially-trained person-
nel.<

When removing the battery, first dis-
connect the negative terminal, then the
positive terminal. Remove the protec-
tive bar (1) and unscrew the threaded
connection of the battery bracket (2).
When installing the battery, connect the
positive terminal first, then connect the
negative terminal.
When installing a battery, be sure
that it is mounted properly. Install
and secure the protective bar. If the
battery is not mounted and fastened
properly, it will not be adequately
secured in case of an accident.<
Return used batteries to a recy-
cling point or your authorized
BMW center. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and stor-
age. Secure the battery against tilting in
transit.<
When an electrical accessory fails to
operate, switch it off and inspect the
fuse.
In glove compartment
1 Open the glove compartment and
turn the two white quick-release
knobs to the left. Spare fuses and
plastic tweezers are located on the
fuse holder.
2 Use the plastic tweezers to remove
the fuse for the accessory or equip-
ment that has stopped working.
3 If the fuse is burned through (the
metal strip will have melted and sep-
arated), replace it with a new fuse of
the same ampere rating (color code).
