Disposal of old battery
Have old batteries disposed of by your 
BMW center or bring them to a recycling 
center. Maintain the ba ttery in an upright 
position for transport and storage. Always 
secure the battery against tipping over during 
transport.<
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and 
do not replace a defective fuse with a 
substitute of another co lor or amperage rating; 
otherwise, this could lead  to a circuit overload, 
ultimately resulting in a fire in the vehicle. <
Open the cover in the glove compartment and 
remove it.
Plastic tweezers are loca ted on the distributor 
box.
See the rear of the cover for information on fuse 
assignment.
Spare fuses are available at your BMW center.
