Battery Fuses
Return used batteries to a recy-
cling point or your BMW center.
Maintain the battery in an upright posi-
tion for transport and storage. Secure
the battery to prevent it from tilting
during transport.<
If an electrical accessory should fail,
switch it off and check the fuse.
The fuses, their individual ampere
ratings and the equipment in the
circuits they protect are all indicated on
the cover of the fuse box in the glove
compartment and on the inside of the
cover panel for the storage compart-
ment located behind the passenger's
seat.

Do not attempt to repair a blown
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 over-
load.<
If the fuse continues to blow, have the
problem corrected by a BMW center.
