Battery Fuses

Charging the battery

Charge the battery in the vehicle only

when the engine is not running.

Before doing any work on the elec-

trical system, be sure to unclamp

the cable from the battery's negative

terminal. Failure to do so can result in

short-circuits, a fire or personal injury.<

If the vehicle is to be parked longer than

four weeks, disconnect the battery from

the vehicle's electrical system by dis-

connecting the negative terminal cable

and then recharge using a suitable

charging device.

If you intend to store your car for longer

than twelve weeks: Remove the battery,

charge it and store it in a cool (but frost-

and dust-free) room. Every three months

and before reinstalling the battery, have

it recharged. If it is not recharged, it will

not be serviceable. Every time the bat-

tery is discharged, especially over ex-

tended periods, its service life is re-

duced.

Return used batteries to a recy-

cling center or your BMW center.

Maintain the battery in an upright posi-

tion for transport and storage. Secure

the battery to prevent it from tilting dur-

ing transport.<

Storage periods during which the

battery is disconnected are not

taken into consideration by the Service

Interval Display for changing the brake

fluid.

For this reason, be sure that the brake

fluid is changed every two years, re-

gardless of the information displayed.

Read and comply with the information

on page 129 covering this subject.<

If an electrical accessory should fail,

switch it off and check the fuse.

In the glove compartment

1 Open the glove compartment and

turn the two white quick-release fas-

teners 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).
