High-voltage battery
If the 12 Volt battery or high-voltage battery is
dead, the combustion engine can be started
with the aid of another vehicle using two jumper
cables.
1.
Fold open the cover of the BMW starting-
aid terminal. To do so, pull the tab.
Only use jumper cables with fully insulated ter-
minal clamps and do not deviate from the
described procedure.
To avoid the risk of potentially fatal injury,
always avoid all contact with electrical
components while the engine is running. Care-
fully adhere to the following sequence, both to
prevent damage to one or both vehicles, and to
guard against possible personal injuries.<
2.
Attach one end of the jumper cable plus/+
to the positive terminal of the battery or a
starting-aid terminal of the vehicle provid-
ing assistance.

4.
Attach the second end of the cable to the
positive terminal of the battery or to a start-
ing-aid terminal of the vehicle to be started.
A message appears on the Control Display.
Attach one end of the jumper cable minus/–
to the negative terminal of the battery or to
an engine or body ground of the assisting
vehicle.
Preparation
1.
Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle is a 12 Volt battery and has approxi-
mately the same capacitance in Ah. This
information can be found on the battery.
Your BMW has a special nut as body ground
or negative pole.

3.
Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.
Switch off any electrical systems and com-
ponents in both vehicles.
