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 Starting with a
flat battery on page 235.
Disposal
After changing batteries, have any old
batteries disposed of by BMW Service or
take them to an official collecting point. Batter-
ies 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:
> Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory
The positions must be reprogrammed, see
page 40.
> Time and date
These values must be updated, see
pages 75, 76.
> Radio
It may be necessary to enter the stations in
the memory again, see page 170.
> Navigation system
Wait until the system starts, see page 160.
Fuses
Do not repair blown fuses or replace them
with fuses with different colours or
ampere ratings, otherwise overloaded electrical
wires can cause a fire in the car.<
Spare fuses, plastic tweezers and details of the
layout of the fuses are to be found with the
fuses in the load area.
In the interior
The fuses are in the front passenger's footwell,
on the underside of the instrument panel.
1. Unfasten the screws, see arrows, on the
footwell trim.
2. Set down the trim in the footwell.
