Jump-starting

If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's
engine can be started by connecting two
jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You
can also use the same method to help start
another vehicle. Always use jumper cables with
fully insulated handles on the terminal clamps.

Do not touch any electrically live parts
when the engine is running, or a fatal acci-

dent may occur. Contact with these compo-
nents can cause fatal injury. Carefully observe
the following instructions to avoid personal
injury and/or damage to one or both vehicles.

Preparations

Check whether the battery of the support
vehicle has 12 volts and approximately the
same capacitance in Ah. This information
can be found on the battery.

Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.

Switch off all electrical accessories in both
vehicles.

There must not be any contact between
the bodies of the two vehicles, otherwise

there is a danger of shorting.

Connecting jumper cables

Connect the jumper cables in the correct
order; otherwise, sparks at the battery

terminals could pose an injury hazard.

On your BMW, the so-called jump-starting con-
nection in the engine compartment serves as
the battery positive terminal, refer also to the
engine compartment overview on page
