Fuses Fuel filler doorIf an electrical accessory should fail,
switch it off and check the fuse. In the glove compartment1 Open the glove compartment and
turn the two white quick-release
fasteners outward. Spare fuses and
plastic tweezers are located on the
fuse holder
2 Use the plastic tweezers to remove
the fuse for the accessory or equip-
ment that has stopped working
3 Replace a burned-out fuse, recogniz-
able from the melted metal strip, with
a new fuse of the same color code or
ampere rating.460de062
A list of fuses, their respective ampere
ratings and the equipment in their cir-
cuits are all indicated below the fuse
holder.
To close the fuse holder, snap it into
position at the top and turn the two
fasteners inward.
Do not attempt to repair a burned-
out fuse or replace it with a fuse
with a different color or ampere rating.
Doing this could cause a fire in the ve-
hicle resulting from a circuit overload.<
If a fuse blows repeatedly, refer the
problem to your BMW center for repair.
Manual release Pull the knob with the fuel pump symbol
(arrow) on the right trim panel of the
