Hood
To release the hood
Pull the lever located under the left-hand
side of the instrument panel.
Do not work on your vehicle without
the appropriate skills to do so. Failure
to work in an informed, professional man-
ner when servicing components and mate-
rials constitutes a safety hazard for vehicle
occupants and other road users. If you are
not familiar with the guidelines, please
have the operations performed by a BMW
center.<
To open
1. Reach under the engine hood
2. Push the release handle up
3. Open the hood.
To close
Allow the hood to fall from a low height and
push on both sides so that it audibly
engages.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the hood is clear when it
is closed, as with all closing procedures.
If you notice while driving that the hood is
not completely closed, stop immediately
and close it securely.<
