FusesWhen an electrical accessory fails to
operate, switch it off and inspect the
fuse. In the glove compartment1 Open the glove compartment and
turn the two quick-release fasteners
to the left. Spare fuses and plastic
tweezers are located on the fuse
holder.

the fuse for the accessory or equip-
ment that has stopped working.

metal strip will have melted and
separated), replace it with a new fuse

code).530us121
A list of the fuses, their respective
ampere ratings and the equipment in
their circuits is provided below the fuse
holder.
Close the fuse holder by holding the top
of the cover in place and screwing the
two quick-release fasteners to the right.
Additional fuses are provided in the
cargo area.
The fuse for continuous positive current
is located in a separate fuse box in front
of the spare wheel. If this fuse is defec-
tive, refer the problem to your BMW
center for repair.
Do not attempt to repair a burned
fuse or replace it with a fuse
having a different color or ampere
rating. To do this could cause a fire in
the vehicle resulting from a circuit over-
load.<
If the fuse continues to burn through,
have the problem corrected by a BMW
center.
In the cargo area Open the right cover by pulling the
handle.
A list of the fuses, their respective
ampere ratings and the equipment in
their circuits is provided on the rear of
