Maintenance and repairs
Have maintenance and repair work per‐
formed only by a service center or a workshop
that works according to BMW specifications
with appropriately trained personnel. Other‐
wise, there is the risk of fatal injury from elec‐
tric shock due to the hybrid system's high volt‐
age.◀
Hybrid system: contact with water
The hybrid system is typically safe even in the
following example situations:
▷ Water in the footwell, for instance after a
rainstorm when the glass sunroof is open.
▷ Vehicle is in the water, such as in the event
of high water levels.
▷ Liquid escapes in the trunk.
In these cases there is no risk of injury from
electric shock. Other damages on the vehicle
are possible.
Hybrid system: automatic
deactivation
If an accident occurs, the hybrid system is
switched off automatically in order not to en‐
danger occupants and other road users.

After an accident, do not touch any high-
voltage components such as orange colored
high-voltage cables or parts that are in contact
with exposed high-voltage cables. Otherwise,
there is the risk of fatal injury from electric

age.◀
Escaping fluids

the high-voltage battery, or the skin can sus‐
tain chemical burns.◀

hicle, compliance with the following additional
