Do not work on the car unless you
possess the appropriate special-
ised knowledge. If unfamiliar with the
regulations which have to be complied
with, have the work performed by BMW

the engine compartment lid is
closed that the contact area is unob-
structed.
If you notice during the journey that the
engine compartment has not been
properly closed, stop the car at the ear-
liest possible moment and close it cor-
rectly.
