Fuses, bulb-changing 53
t any item of electrical equipment on
pir car fails to work, first check the
tJses.
Tìe fuse box (current distributor) with
spare fuses and relays, is located inside
rte engine compartment on the left. It is
rt)unted on the wheel arch and protect-
± against damp. The transparent cover
s marked with a list of fuses, showing
jt items of equipment protected and
Tìe fuse ratings in Amps.
A blown fuse can be recognized by the
Telted metal strip inside the transparent
cap. Pull the blown fuse out of the spring
dips and push in a replacement of the
£rTectratjng.
Never attempt to repair blown fuses with
wire or other unsuitable materials (risk of
fire). lf the fuse blows repeatedly, have
the fault traced and repaired by a quali-
fied service station.
When changing bulbs or working on the
electrical system, always switch off the
affected item of equipment to avoid
accidental short-circuits, or disconnect
the negative lead at the battery post.
Never handle new bulbs with the fingers,
but hold them in a clean cloth, paper
napkin or similar to prevent grease from
adhering to the glass.
When renewing headlight bulbs, make
sure that the beam setting screws are not
disturbed.
We recommend carrying a "BMW spare
bulb pack" with you for use in emergen-
cies. Your authorized BMW dealer will
gladly advise you.
