BMW Group's Mobile Service – Emer-
gency Service – is there to assist you in 
the event of a breakdown, at any time 
of the day or night, during weekends 
and on public holidays.

The telephone numbers of the Mobile 
Service – Emergency Service – centre in 
your country are listed in the 'Service 
Kontakt' brochure.

If the car's own battery is flat, the 
engine of your BMW can be started by 
using two jump leads from another 
vehicle's battery. Conversely, you can 
also jump-start another vehicle with 
your BMW. Use only jump leads with 
fully insulated battery-post clips.

Do not touch any electrically live 
parts when the engine is running, 

or a fatal accident may occur. Do not 
depart from the procedure described 
below, otherwise personal injury could 
result or one or both vehicles be dam-
aged.

1. Check that the other vehicle's battery 

has a voltage of 12 V and is rated at 
more or less the same capacity in Ah. 
This information is on the battery

2. Switch off the engine of the donor 

vehicle 

3. Switch off all consumers in both 

vehicles.

Make sure that the bodies of the 
two vehicles do not touch, as oth-

erwise there is a risk of short-circuit.

<

Always maintain the correct order 
when attaching the jump leads, 

otherwise there is a risk of sparks 
occurring and causing injury.

in the engine compartment acts as the 
positive terminal of the battery, see also

ment on page
