Warning triangle*
Jump-starting
If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's
engine can be started by connecting two
jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You
can also use the same method to help start
another vehicle. Always use jumper cables with
fully insulated handles on the terminal clamps.
Do not touch any electrically live parts
when the engine is running, or a fatal acci-
dent may occur. Contact with these compo-
nents can cause fatal injury. Carefully observe
the following instructions to avoid personal
injury and/or damage to one or both vehicles.<
The warning triangle is stored in the rear trim
panel of the cargo bay.
To take it out, pull the ends of the rubber bands
upward and out of the fasteners.
Preparations

Check whether the battery of the support
vehicle has 12 volts and approximately the

Connecting jumper cables

the items regularly, and replace any with passed
dates.
