Maintenance and repairs
Have maintenance and repair work per‐
formed only by a service center or a workshop
that works according to BMW specifications
with appropriately trained personnel. Other‐
wise, there is the risk of fatal injury from elec‐
tric shock due to the hybrid system's high volt‐
age.◀
Hybrid system: contact with water The hybrid system is typically safe even in the
following example situations:▷Water in the footwell, for instance after a
rainstorm when the glass sunroof is open.▷Vehicle is in the water, such as in the event
of high water levels.▷Liquid escapes in the trunk.
In these cases there is no risk of injury from
electric shock. Other damages on the vehicle
are possible.
Hybrid system: automatic
deactivation
If an accident occurs, the hybrid system is
switched off automatically in order not to en‐
danger occupants and other road users.
Read the information on What to do after an
accident, refer to page 226.
What to do after an accident General information After an accident
After an accident, do not touch any high-
voltage components such as orange colored
high-voltage cables or parts that are in contact
with exposed high-voltage cables. Otherwise,
there is the risk of fatal injury from electric
shock due to the hybrid system's high volt‐
age.◀
Escaping fluids
Do not touch any fluids escaping from
the high-voltage battery, or the skin can sus‐
tain chemical burns.◀
If you are involved in an accident with your ve‐
hicle, compliance with the following additional
safety precautions is required with regard to
the hybrid system:▷Secure the crash site.▷Immediately notify rescue forces, police, or
firefighters of the fact that your vehicle is
equipped with a hybrid system.▷Engage transmission position P, apply the
parking brake, and switch off the ignition or
deactivate drive readiness.▷Lock the vehicle after exiting.▷Do not inhale any gases escaping from the
high-voltage battery, if necessary keep a
distance to the vehicle.Seite 226MobilityBreakdown assistance226
