Replacing components

Onboard tool kit

The onboard tool kit is stored below the floor

mat in the cargo bay.

Wiper blades

1. Fold out the wiper arm and hold it.

2. Press together the locking spring, arrows 1,

and fold out the wiper blade, arrow 2.

3. Take the wiper blade out of the catch mech-

anism, pulling the blade toward the front.

To avoid damage, make sure that the

wiper arms are against the windshield

before you open the engine compartment.<

Lamps and bulbs

Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-

tion to vehicle safety. They should, therefore,

be handled carefully. BMW recommends hav-

ing your BMW center perform any work that you

do not feel competent to perform yourself or

that is not described here.

Never touch the glass of new bulbs with

your bare fingers, as even minute

amounts of contamination will burn into the

bulb's surface and reduce its service life. Use a

clean tissue, cloth or something similar, or hold

the bulb by its base.<

You can obtain a selection of replacement bulbs

at your BMW center.

When working on electrical systems,

always begin by switching off the con-

sumer in question, otherwise short-circuits

could result. To avoid possible injury or equip-

ment damage when replacing bulbs, observe

any instructions provided by the bulb manufac-

turer.<

If the routine for changing a particular

bulb is not described here, please contact

your BMW center or a workshop that works

according to BMW repair procedures with cor-

respondingly trained personnel.<

Light-emitting diodes LED

Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-

cent lenses serve as the light source for many of

the controls and displays in your vehicle. These

light-emitting diodes, which operate using a

concept similar to that applied in conventional

lasers, are officially designated as Class 1 light-

emitting diodes.

Do not remove the covers or expose the

eyes directly to the unfiltered light source

for several hours, otherwise this could cause

irritation to the retina.<

Xenon lamps*

These bulbs have a very long service life and are

highly unlikely to fail. If a xenon lamp fails never-

theless, switch on the fog lamps and continue

the journey with great care, provided that local

legislation does not prohibit this.

Have any work on the xenon lamp system,

including bulb replacements, performed

only by a BMW center or a workshop that works

according to BMW repair procedures with cor-

respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, if

such work is carried out improperly, the high

voltage in the system presents the danger of

fatal injuries.<
