Mobile Service
The BMW Group's Mobile Service (Emergency
Service) is there to assist you round the clock in
the event of a breakdown, including on week-
ends and public holidays.
The telephone numbers for Mobile Service in
your home country are in the Contact booklet.
First-aid pouch*
The first-aid pouch is on the right-hand side of
the luggage compartment in a storage area.
Certain items in the first-aid pouch have a
limited useful life. Check the expiry dates
of the contents regularly and replace any items
that have expired. Replacements are available
in any chemist's shop.
Comply with the applicable legislation requiring
you to have a first-aid kit and a warning triangle
in the car.<
Warning triangle*
The warning triangle is on the left-hand side of
the luggage compartment. Press the tab to take
it out.
Jump-starting
If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's
engine can be started by using two jump leads
from another vehicle's battery. In the same way,
you can help to start another car. Use only leads
with fully insulated terminal clamps.
Do not touch any electrically live parts
when the engine is running, or a fatal acci-
dent may occur. Do not depart from the proce-
dure described below, otherwise personal
injury could result or one or both vehicles be
damaged.<
Preparations
1. Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volt and approx-
imately the same capacitance in Amp/h.
This information is on the battery.
2. Switch off the engine of the donor vehicle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles.
The bodies of the two vehicles must not
make contact, otherwise there is the risk
of a short-circuit.<
