First-aid kit*

Beneath the front passenger's seat.

To open: pull the handle and fold the cover

downward.

Some of the articles in the first-aid kit may

be used within a limited time only. There-

fore, check the expiration dates of the contents

regularly and replace the contents in a timely

fashion as needed. You can find replacements

in any pharmacy. Always observe all legal regu-

lations requiring a first-aid kit to be carried in the

vehicle.<

Jump starting

When your battery is discharged, you can use

two jumper cables to start your vehicle with

power from the battery in a second vehicle. You

can also use the same method to help start

another vehicle. Use only jumper cables with

fully-insulated clamp handles.

To avoid the risk of potentially fatal injury,

always avoid all contact with electrical

components while the engine is running. Care-

fully observe the following instructions to avoid

personal injury and/or damage to one or both

vehicles.<

Preparing

1. Check whether the battery of the other

vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and

approximately the same capacitance in Ah.

This information can be found on the bat-

tery.

2. Switch off the engine of the vehicle provid-

ing assistance.

3. Switch off any electrical systems and com-

ponents in both vehicles.

Ensure that no contact exists between

the bodywork on the two vehicles, other-

wise there is a danger of short circuits.<

Connecting jumper cables

To avoid personal injury from sparks,

always follow this sequence when con-

necting jumper cables.<

On your BMW, the auxiliary terminal for jump

starting in the engine compartment serves as

the battery positive terminal, refer also to

engine compartment overview on page 89.

The symbol + is embossed on the cover.

1. Open the cover of the BMW auxiliary termi-

nal for jump starting, refer to arrow 1.

2. Connect one terminal clamp of the posi-

tive/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal

of the battery or an auxiliary terminal of the

vehicle providing starting assistance.

3. Connect the second terminal clamp of the

positive/+ jumper cable to the positive ter-

minal of the battery or to an auxiliary termi-

nal of the vehicle to be started.

Your BMW has a special nut that serves as the

body ground or negative terminal, refer to

arrow 2.

4. Attach one end of the jumper cable minus/–

to the negative terminal of the battery or to

an engine or body ground of the vehicle

providing assistance.
