Under The Hood - BMW X3 2005 Owner's Manual

Under the hood

Never attempt to perform any service or
repair operations on your vehicle without
the required professional technical training. If
you are not familiar with the regulations to be
observed, have work on your vehicle carried out
only by a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center
or a workshop that uses personnel trained in
accordance with BMW requirements. If this
work is not carried out properly, there is a dan-
ger of subsequent damage and related safety
hazards.<

Closing
Let the hood fall from approx. 1 ft/30 cm so that
you hear it engage.
Observe the same precautions that apply
to all closing operations by ensuring that
the hood's travel range is clear and unob-
structed before allowing the hood to fall into
position.
If you see any signs that the hood is not com-
pletely closed while driving your vehicle, you
should stop at once and close it securely.<
