Engine compartment lid
Opening
Pull the lever on the left beneath the instru-
ment panel.
Do not work on the car unless you
possess the necessary technical
knowledge. If you are unfamiliar with the
statutory guidelines that are to be
observed, entrust the work to BMW
Service. Inexpert handling of components
and materials could otherwise result in a
safety risk for the car's occupants and
other road users.

Opening
Pull the release lever and open the lid.
Closing
Allow the engine compartment lid to drop
from a height of approx. 30 cm (12 in) such
that it is clearly heard to engage.
To avoid injuries, as when closing
doors or other lids on the car, make
sure that the closing range of the engine
compartment lid is unobstructed.
If you notice during the journey that the
engine compartment lid has not been prop-
erly closed, stop the car at the earliest
possible moment and close it correctly.
