Fuses

When an electrical accessory fails to
operate, switch it off and inspect the
fuse.

In the glove compartment

1 Open the glove compartment and

turn the two quick-release knobs to
the left. Spare fuses and plastic
tweezers are located on the fuse
holder.

2 Use the plastic tweezers to remove

the fuse for the accessory or equip-
ment that has stopped working.

3 If the fuse is burned through (the

metal strip will have melted and sep-
arated), replace it with a new fuse of
the same ampere rating (color code).

A list of the fuses, their respective
ampere ratings and the equipment in
their circuits is provided below the fuse
holder.

Close the fuse holder by holding the top
of the cover in place and screwing the
two quick-release knobs to the right.

Additional fuses are provided in the
cargo area.

The fuse for continuous positive current
is located in a separate fuse box in front
of the spare wheel. If this fuse is defec-
tive, refer the problem to your BMW
center for repair.

Do not attempt to repair a burned
fuse or replace it with a fuse hav-

ing a different color or amperage rating.
To do this could cause a fire in the vehi-
cle resulting from a circuit overload.

If the fuse continues to burn through,
have the problem corrected by a BMW
center.

In the cargo area

Open the right cover by pulling the han-
dle.

A list of the fuses, their respective am-
pere ratings and the equipment in their
circuits is provided on the rear of the
cover.
