First aid pouch*

Some of the articles contained in the first aid

pouch have a limited service life. Therefore,

check the expiration dates of the contents reg-

ularly and replace any items in good time, if nec-

essary.

The first aid pouch is located on the right-hand

side of the cargo bay in a storage area.

Warning triangle*

The warning triangle is located in a holder in the

luggage compartment lid. Press the tabs to take

it out.

Jump starting

If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's

engine can be started by connecting two

jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You

can also use the same method to help start

another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with

fully-insulated clamp handles.

Do not touch any electrically live parts

when the engine is running, or a fatal acci-

dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow-

ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or

both vehicles, and to guard against possible

personal injuries.<

Preparation

1. Check whether the battery of the other

vehicle has a voltage of 12 volts and

approximately the same capacitance in Ah.

This information can be found on the bat-

tery.

2. Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-

cle.

3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles.

There must not be any contact between

the bodies of the two vehicles, otherwise

there is a danger of shorting.<

Connecting jumper cables

Connect the jumper cables in the correct

order to prevent sparking at the battery,

which could cause injury.<

Your BMW has a jump-starting connection in

the engine compartment which acts as the bat-

tery's positive terminal, refer also to the Engine

compartment overview on page 213. The cap is

marked with +.

1. Pull the cap of the BMW jump-starting con-

nection up to remove.

2. Attach one terminal clamp of the plus/+

jumper cable to the positive terminal of the

battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehi-

cle providing assistance.

3. Attach the second terminal clamp of the

plus/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal

of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of

the vehicle to be started.
