Under the hood 
Hood 
Releasing 
Pull the lever located under the left side of 
the instrument panel. 
Never attempt to perform any service 
or repair operations on your vehicle 
without the required, professional technical 
training. When you are unfamiliar with the 
service procedures and precautions, 
always have any required work carried out 
at your BMW center. Otherwise, the incor-
rect handling of parts and materials that 
can occur during such attempts constitutes 
a potential safety hazard, both for the vehi-
cle's occupants and for other road users.

Opening 
Pull the release handle and open the hood. 
Closing 
Close the hood from a height of approx. 
16 in/40 cm with momentum. It must be 
clearly heard to engage. 
Observe the same precautions that 
apply to all closing operations by 
ensuring that the hood's travel range is 
clear and unobstructed before allowing the 
hood to fall into position. 
If you see any signs that the hood is not 
completely closed while you are driving 
your vehicle, you should stop at once and 
close it securely.
