Fuses MicrofilterIf an electrical accessory should fail,
switch it off and check the fuse. In the glove compartment1 Open the glove compartment and
turn the two white quick-release
fasteners outward. Spare fuses and
plastic tweezers are located on the
fuse holder.
2 Use the plastic tweezers to remove
the fuse for the accessory or equip-
ment that has stopped working.
3 If the fuse has blown (the metal strip
is melted and separated), replace it
with a new fuse of the same ampere
rating (color code).460de062
A list of fuses, their respective ampere
ratings and the equipment in their
circuits are all indicated below the fuse
holder.
To close the fuse holder, snap it into
position at the top and turn the two
fasteners inward.
Do not attempt to repair a burned
fuse or replace it with a fuse having
a different color or ampere rating. To do
this could cause a fire in the vehicle
resulting from a circuit overload.<
If a fuse blows repeatedly, refer the
problem to your BMW center for repair.
Microfilter/Activated-charcoal
filter1 Open the hood.
2 Loosen the three fasteners (arrow)
with a f turn.
