Battery

A highly-explosive gas is gener-

ated when the battery is

charged.

If you happen to get acid in your

eyes, rinse thoroughly for 15 min-

utes with clear water. Consult a

physician immediately. Rinse your skin

or clothing with plenty of water if you get

acid spray on them. If electrolyte is acci-

dentally ingested, consult a physician

immediately.

In order to protect the battery

case from ultraviolet radiation,

do not place it in direct sunlight.

A discharged battery can freeze. Store

the battery in areas where temperature

remains above freezing.

Battery care

The battery is completely maintenance-

free, as per DIN 43 539/2; that is, the

amount of acid put in the battery origi-

nally will normally last for the service life

of the battery.

Charge condition

With the help of the "Magic Eye", a

hydrometer, you can read the battery's

charge state:

> Green: Adequate charge.

> Black: Not adequately charged. The

battery must be recharged. Please

contact your authorized BMW center

for additional information.

> Yellow: Replace the battery.

The service life specified for the

battery can be achieved only if it is

always kept adequately charged. If the

vehicle is primarily used for stop-and-

go traffic, be sure to check the charge

state often.<

Removal and installation

Do not disconnect the battery

cables when the engine is run-

ning, otherwise the ensuing voltage

surge will damage the vehicle's on-

board electronics.

Do not alter the positive terminal wiring

in any way, otherwise the safety battery

terminal's safety function will no longer

be guaranteed. Repair and disposal are

to be performed exclusively by trained

technicians.<

When removing the battery, disconnect

the cable on the negative terminal first,

then the cable on the positive terminal.

Loosen the center adjusting screw on

the battery retaining strap (use the

screwdriver included with the onboard

tool kit) and disconnect the strap.

When installing a battery, connect the

positive terminal first, then connect the

negative terminal.

When installing a battery, be sure

that it is mounted properly and

that the retaining bracket is installed

with the center adjustment screw. If this

is not done, the battery will not be ade-

quately secured in case of an acci-

dent.<
