Fuses

If an electrical accessory should fail,
switch it off and check the fuse.

In the engine compartment

1 Open the hood. Press the cover fas-

teners (arrows) forward and open the
cover

2 Use the plastic tweezers (located on

the inside of the cover) to remove the
fuse for the accessory or equipment
that has stopped working from its
socket

3 If the fuse is burned through (the

metal strip is melted and separated),
replace it with a new fuse of the same
ampere rating (color code).

380de085

A list of the fuses, their respective am-
pere ratings and the equipment in their
circuits is provided next to the fuse box.

When you close the fuse box, be sure
that the cover is seated securely.

Additional fuses are provided in the
luggage compartment (refer to next
column).

The fuse for continuous positive current
is located in a separate fuse box above
the battery. If this fuse is defective, refer
the problem to your BMW center for re-
pair.

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 fails repeatedly, refer the
problem to your BMW center for repair.
