Battery FusesCharging the battery Charge the battery in the vehicle only
when the engine is not running.
Before doing any work on the
electrical system, be sure to
unclamp the cable from the battery's
negative terminal, or it could cause
short-circuiting, a fire or personal
injury.<
If the vehicle is to be parked longer than
4 weeks, disconnect the battery from
the vehicle's electrical system by dis-
connecting the negative terminal cable.
If you intend to store your car for longer
than six weeks: Remove the battery,
charge it and store it in a cool (but frost-
free) room. Recharge the battery every
6 months at the latest, at the very least
before each installation, or else it will be
unusable. Every time the battery is dis-
charged, especially over extended peri-
ods, its service life is reduced.
Return used batteries to a recy-
cling point or your authorized
BMW center. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and stor-
age. Secure the battery against tilting in
transit.<
Storage periods during which the
battery is disconnected are not
taken into consideration by the Service
Interval Display for changing the brake
fluid.
Therefore, make sure that the brake
fluid is changed every two years at the
latest, regardless of the display. Com-
ply with the information provided on
page 127.<
If an electrical accessory should fail,
switch it off and check the fuse. In 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 If the fuse is burned through (the
metal strip is melted and separated),
replace it with a new fuse of the same
ampere rating (color code).460de062

154n
Fuses Microfilter The fuses, their respective ampere rat-
ings and the equipment in their circuits
are all indicated below the fuse holder.
To close the fuse holder, snap it into
position at the top and turn the two fas-
teners inward.
Do not attempt to repair a burned
fuse or replace it with a fuse hav-
ing a different color or amperage rating.
To do this could cause a fire in the vehi-
cle resulting from a circuit overload.<
If a fuse blows repeatedly, refer the
problem to your authorized BMW center
for repair.

4 Remove the filter by pulling toward
the front and install a new one
5 Position the filter cover and secure it
with the three fasteners.460de157
