Safety of the hybrid system
Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the spe‐
cial equipment selected or the country specifica‐
tion. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐
tions and systems. Please comply with the
relevant laws and regulations when using the
corresponding functions and systems.
Working on the vehicle
General
Therefore, changes and work on the vehicle, for
example, even retrofitting of accessories must
only be carried out by a Service Partner of the
manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner
or a specialist workshop that operates to BMW
specifications with suitably trained personnel.
Safety note
DANGER
An electric shock can occur if the work is not
carried out correctly, in particular maintenance
and repair of the high-voltage system. There is
a risk of injury, fire or death. Work on the vehi‐
cle, especially maintenance, repair or modifica‐
tions, is only allowed to be carried out by a
Service Partner of the manufacturer or another
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐
shop.
Contact with water
The hybrid system is generally also safe in the
following example situations:
▷ Water in the footwell, for example after a rain
shower with the window open.
▷ Vehicle is in water up to the specified fording
depth.
▷ Liquid spills in the boot.
Automatic deactivation
In the event of an accident the hybrid system is
shut down automatically, so as not to endanger
vehicle occupants and other road users.
For further information:
Conduct after an accident, see page 417.
