In the engine compartment
Do not work on the car unless you pos-
sess the necessary technical knowledge.
If you are unfamiliar with the statutory guide-
lines, have any work on the vehicle performed
only by BMW Service or by a workshop that
operates to BMW specifications and has suita-
bly trained personnel. If such work is performed
inexpertly, it could result in consequential dam-
age and thus constitute a safety risk.

Closing
Close the engine compartment lid from a height
of about 40 cm (16 in) with some momentum. It

To avoid injuries, ensure that the closing
area of the engine compartment lid is
unobstructed.
If you notice during the journey that the engine
compartment lid has not been properly closed,
stop the car at the earliest possible moment and
close it correctly.
