Starting engine
1.
Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and 
allow it to run for several minutes at a fast 
idle.
2.
Start the engine on the other vehicle in the 
usual way. 
If the first start attempt is not successful, 
wait a few minutes before another attempt 
in order to allow the discharged battery to 
recharge.
3.
Allow the engines to run for several min-
utes.
4.
Disconnect the jumper cables again in the 
reverse sequence.
If need be, have the battery checked and 
recharged.
Never use spray fluids to start the 
engine.

Towing and tow starting
Observe applicable laws and regulations 
for tow-starting and towing.
<
Do not transport any passengers other 
than the driver in a vehicle that is being 
towed.
<
Using tow fitting
The threaded tow fitting is stored in the 
onboard tool kit and must always remain in the 
vehicle. It can be screwed in at the front or rear 
of the BMW.
Only use the tow fitting that comes with 
the vehicle and screw it in as far as it will 
go. Use the tow fitting for towing only on roads. 
Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do 
not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting. Otherwise, 
damage to the tow fitting and the vehicle can 
occur.
<
Access to screw thread
Press the arrow symbol to push out the cover.
Being towed
Do not tow the vehicle by the rear axle; 
because there is no steering lock, the 
wheels could turn to an extreme angle during 
towing. There is no power assist with the 
engine stopped. This then requires increased 
effort for braking and steering.
<
Switch on the hazard warning flashers depend-
ing on the local regulations. If the electrical sys-
tem fails, mark the vehicle to be towed, e.g. with 
a sign or warning triangle in the rear window.
