Lamps and bulbs

The lamps and bulbs make essential
contributions to the safety of your vehi-
cle. For this reason, follow the instruc-
tions below carefully when replacing
a bulb. If you are not familiar with any
of the procedures, consult your BMW
Sports Activity Vehicle center.

Never touch the glass on new
bulbs with your bare fingers, as

even minute amounts of contamination
will burn into the bulb's surface and
reduce its service life. Use a clean
cloth, paper napkin, or a similar mate-
rial, or hold the bulb by its metallic
base.

A replacement bulb set is available from
your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle cen-
ter.

To prevent short circuits, before
working on any electrical system,

equipment or accessory you should
always switch it off and disconnect the
cable from the battery's negative termi-
nal before starting.
To avoid possible injury or equipment
damage when changing bulbs, observe
any instructions provided by the bulb
manufacturer.
