Do not attempt to service your
vehicle if you do not have the
required technical background. If you
are not familiar with the regulations to
be observed, have your vehicle ser-
viced only by a BMW center or a shop
that works according to BMW require-
ments with appropriately trained per-
sonnel. Work that is improperly carried
out could result in consequential dam-
age and pose safety hazards.<

hood.
It is not possible to drive off using
SMG Drivelogic when the hood is
open.<

fall from a minimum height of 1 ft/30 cm
so that it audibly engages. Check for
proper locking by pulling on the hood at
the left and right above the headlamps.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the hood is clear
when it is closed, following the same
safety precautions used in all closing

is not completely closed, stop immedi-
ately and close it securely.<
