place Ð the transmission lockout is

sion lockout is again engaged
3.Fold up and lock the cover panel. Now Ð
and not before Ð the key may be
removed.
Once the transmission lockout has
been re-engaged, the warning in the
Check Control should disappear, and the
symbol in the Info Display should change
from N to P. Should this fail to happen,
there is a danger that the vehicle could
start to roll.<

Turn signal indicators/
headlamp flasher
1High beams Ð blue indicator lamp
2Headlamp flasher Ð blue indicator lamp
3Turn signal indicators Ð the green indi-
cator lamp flashes, accompanied by a
periodic ticking from the turn signal

Using turn signal indicators
Move the lever beyond the detent position.
It then returns to the center position when
released. Press the lever as far as the

tors.
Signaling briefly
Press the lever up to but not beyond the
detent. It then returns to the center position
when released.
If the flashing of the indicator lamp and the
ticking from the relay are both faster than
normal, this indicates that one of the bulbs
is defective; if a trailer is attached, this
could also indicate that one of its turn
signal indicator bulbs is defective.

Replacing components
Onboard tool kit
The onboard tool kit is located in the lug-
gage compartment lid.
Loosen the wingnut to open.
The adapter for the spare key can be stored
beneath the open-ended spanners.
Windshield wiper blades
To replace the blades, start by folding the
wipers out and away from the windshield,
refer to page 73.
Lamps and bulbs
The lamps and bulbs are essential factors
contributing to the safety of your vehicle.
Therefore, comply fully with the following
instructions during bulb replacement. If you
are not familiar with the specified proce-
dures, have the replacements carried out at
your BMW center.
Never touch the glass on new bulbs
with your bare fingers, as even minute
amounts of contamination will burn into the
bulb's surface and reduce its service life.
Use a clean cloth, napkin, etc., or hold the
bulb by its metal socket.<
You can obtain a selection of replacement
bulbs at your BMW center. To prevent short circuits, before wor-
king on any electrical system, equip-
ment or accessory you should always
switch it off and disconnect the cable from
the battery's negative terminal before star-
ting.
To avoid possible injury or equipment
damage when changing bulbs, observe any
instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.<
When maintaining the headlamps,
please comply with the instructions in
the separate Care manual.<
Headlamps
For checking and adjusting headlamp
aim, please contact your BMW
center.<
Engine compartment, left side:
Turn the quick-release fasteners 905 coun-
terclockwise and remove the cover.
After replacing the bulb return the cover to
its original position and press the quick-
release fasteners down.

Xenon lamps
The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. In the
unlikely event that one of these lamps
should fail, you can respond by switching
on your fog lamps and proceeding care-
fully, where allowed by law. To avoid risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries: owing to the extremely high vol-
tages at which these units operate, service
work should always be entrusted to quali-
fied personnel.<

tact your BMW center.
