vehicle. You can also use the same method
to help start another vehicle. Use only
jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp
handles.

To avoid the risk of potentially fatal
injury, always avoid all contact with

electrical components while the engine is
running. Carefully observe the following
instructions to avoid personal injury and/or
damage to one or both vehicles.

Preparing

Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and
approximately the same capacitance
in Ah. This information can be found on
the battery

Switch off the engine of the support
vehicle

Switch off any electrical systems and
components in both vehicles.

Ensure that no contact exists
between the bodywork on the two

vehicles, otherwise there is a danger of
short circuits.

Connecting the jumper cables

To avoid personal injury from sparks,
always observe this sequence when

connecting jumper cables.

On your BMW, the auxiliary terminal for
