Car battery
Maintenance
The battery needs no routine maintenance
whatsoever, in other words the quantity of acid
it contains will normally last for the full operating
life of the battery in temperate climates. BMW
Service will gladly advise you on all matters
relating to batteries.
Recharging the battery
Recharge the battery only with the engine
stopped, via the connections in the engine
compartment. Connections, see Jump-starting
on page 205.
Disposal
After changing the battery, have the old
one disposed of by BMW Service or take
it to an official collecting point. Batteries filled
with acid should be transported and stored
upright. Protect batteries against falling over
when in transit.<
Power failure
After a temporary power failure, the functions of
certain equipment items may be restricted, as
they require reinitialising. Individual settings
may likewise have been lost and will have to be
reprogrammed:
