Towing
nal for jump-starting of the vehicle
providing starting assistance
3.
Connect the second terminal clamp of
the positive/+ jumper cable to the posi-
tive terminal of the battery or to an aux-
iliary terminal for jump-starting of the
vehicle to be started
Using tow fitting
The threaded tow fitting is stored in the
onboard tool kit and must always remain in
the vehicle. It can be screwed in at the front
or rear of the BMW.
On your BMW, there is a special nut as
body ground on the suspension strut
dome, refer to arrow 2 in the illustration.
To avoid damage to the tow fitting
and the vehicle, observe the follow-
ing: only use the tow fitting that comes with
the vehicle and screw it in as far as it will
go. Only use the tow fitting to tow on roads.
Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g.
do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting.<
4.
Attach one end of the jumper cable
minus/– to the negative terminal of the
battery or to an engine or body ground
of the vehicle providing assistance
5.
Connect the second terminal clamp of
the negative/– jumper cable to the neg-
ative terminal of the battery or to the
engine or body ground of the vehicle to
be started.
Access to screw thread
Press the arrow symbol to push out the
cover.
Starting engine
1.
Start the engine on the support vehicle
and allow it to run for several minutes at
a fast idle
2.
Start the engine on the other vehicle in
the usual way.
If the first start attempt is not success-
ful, wait a few minutes before another
attempt in order to allow the discharged
battery to recharge
Being towed
Do not tow the vehicle by the rear
axle; because the steering detent is
not operational, the wheels could turn to an
extreme angle during towing. There is no
power assist with the engine stopped. This
then requires increased effort for braking
and steering.<
3.
4.
Allow the engines to run for several
minutes
Disconnect the jumper cables by
reversing the connection sequence.
If required, have the battery inspected and
recharged at your BMW center.
Switch on the hazard warning flashers
depending on the local regulations. If the
electrical system fails, mark the vehicle to
be towed, e.g. with a sign or warning trian-
gle in the rear window.
Never use spray fluids to start the
engine.<
