Fuses
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
knobs to the left. 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 will have melted and sep-
arated), replace it with a new fuse of
the same ampere rating (color code).
390de085
The fuses, their respective ampere rat-
ings and the equipment in their circuits
are all indicated below the fuse holder.
Close the fuse holder by holding the top
of the cover in place and screwing the
two quick-release knobs to the right.
Additional fuses are provided in the lug-
gage compartment (refer to the next
column).
The fuse for continuous positive current
is located in a separate fuse box above
the battery. If this fuse is defective, re-
fer the problem to your BMW center for
repair.
Do not attempt to repair a burned
fuse or replace it with a fuse hav-
ing a different color or amperage rating.
To do this could cause a fire in the vehi-
cle resulting from a circuit overload.<
If the fuse continues to burn through,
have the problem corrected by a BMW
center.
In the luggage compartment
Use the handle to pull the trim on the
right wall down.
A list of the fuses, their respective am-
pere ratings and the equipment in their
circuits is provided on the rear of the
side trim.
