Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
cent lenses serve as the light source for many of 
the controls and displays in your vehicle. These 
light-emitting diodes are related to ordinary 
lasers.

Do not remove the covers, and never 
stare into the unfiltered light for several 

hours, as irritation of the retina could result.

The service life of these bulbs is very long and 
the probability of failure is very low, provided 
that they are not switched on and off an unusual 
number of times. If one of these bulbs should 
nevertheless fail, it is possible to continue driv-
ing with great caution using the fog lamps, pro-
vided traffic laws in your area do not prohibit 
this.

To avoid risk of potentially fatal injuries 
due to the extremely high voltages at 

which these units operate, service work should 
always be entrusted to qualified personnel.

In case of a malfunction, please contact your 
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
