Lamps and bulbs

The lamps and bulbs make essential
contributions to the safety of your
vehicle. For this reason, follow the
instructions below carefully when
replacing a bulb. If you are not familiar
with any of the procedures, consult
your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
center.

Do not touch the glass portion of a
new bulb with your bare hands

since even small amounts of impurities
burn into the surface and reduce the
service life of the bulb. Use a clean
cloth, paper napkin, or a similar mate-
rial, or hold the bulb by its metallic
base.

A replacement bulb set is available from
your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
center.

Whenever working on the elec-
trical system, switch off the elec-

trical accessory you are working on or
disconnect the cable from the negative
terminal of the battery. Failure to do this
could result in short circuits.
To prevent injuries and damage,
comply with any instructions provided
by the bulb manufacturer.
