Under the hood

Never attempt to perform any service or
repair operations on your vehicle without

the required professional technical training. If
you are unfamiliar with the specifications to be
observed, only have work carried out on your
vehicle by a BMW center or a repair shop that
works in accordance with BMW guidelines and
uses appropriately trained personnel. Other-
wise, there is a danger of damage and associ-
ated safety risks if this work is performed
improperly.

Hood

Releasing

Opening

Press the release handle and open the hood.
