Lights and bulbs
Lights and bulbs are an important road
safety factor. Appropriate care and atten-
tion should therefore be taken when
handling these components. If you are
unfamiliar with such tasks, it is better to
entrust them to BMW Service.
Do not touch the glass of a new bulb
with the fingers, because even slight
amounts of dirt or grease will then be
burned into the bulb and reduce its working
life. Use a clean tissue, cloth or similar, or
hold the bulb by its base.
<
A box containing spare bulbs is available
from BMW Service.
Before any work is done on the elec-
trical system, switch off the affected
consumer equipment or disconnect the
negative terminal from the battery, to
prevent any risk of short-circuits occurring.
Observe any instructions supplied by the
bulb manufacturer, to avoid causing injury
or damage when changing bulbs.
<
Please note when cleaning the head-
lights:
>
Do not rub them when dry or use caustic
or abrasive cleaning agents
>
Soak dirt or other deposits, such as
dead insects, with BMW Shampoo and
wash down with plenty of water
>
Use a de-icer spray to remove ice
deposits not a scraper or other hard
tool.
