Do not attempt to service your
vehicle if you do not have the
required technical background. Failure
to work in an informed, professional
manner when servicing components

road users. If you are not familiar with
the guidelines, please have the opera-
tions performed by your BMW center.<

travel path of the hood is clear

precautions as with all closing proce-
dures.
If you determine that the hood is not
completely closed while driving, stop
immediately and close it securely.<
