Unlocking
Pull the lever at the left under the dash-
board.
Do not work on the vehicle unless
you possess the appropriate spe-
cialised knowledge. If unfamiliar with
the regulations which have to be com-
plied with, have the work carried out by
BMW Service, or a workshop employ-
ing trained personnel and working to
the specifications issued by BMW.
Careless or unskilled work could result
in consequential damage, with the
associated safety risks.<

Pull the release lever and open the lid.
To close
Allow the engine compartment lid to
drop from a height of approx. 30 cm
(1 ft) such that it is clearly heard to

structed.
If you notice during the journey that the
engine compartment has not been
properly closed, stop the car at the ear-
liest possible moment and close it cor-
rectly.<
