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‐
trocution due to the high-voltage system's
high voltage.◀
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 sunroof was kept open.▷Vehicle is in water but only up to the al‐
lowed height.▷Liquid eslides in the cargo area.
In these cases there is no risk of injury from
electrocution. Other damage to the vehicle is
possible.
Hybrid system: automatic
deactivation
If an accident occurs, the hybrid system is
switched off automatically to prevent risk of
danger to occupants and other traffic.
