The Mobile Service of the BMW Group
is there to assist you round the clock,
including at weekends and on public
holidays.
If you have a breakdown, please call
the Mobile Service control centre for
your home country. The telephone
numbers are to be found in the "Service
Contact" brochure.
Do not use the spray products sold as
starting aids.
If the car's own battery is flat, your
BMW's engine can be started by using
two jump leads from another vehicle's
battery. In the same way, you can help
another car to start. Use only leads with
fully insulated battery post clips.
Do not touch any electrically live
parts when the engine is running,
or a fatal accident may occur. Do not
depart from the procedure described
below, otherwise personal injury could
result or one or both vehicles be
damaged.
