Do not use spray starter fluids to start

the engine.

If the battery is drained, the engine can

be started using two jumper cables and

another vehicle's battery. Use only

jumper cables with fully insulated

handles on the terminal clamps.

Do not touch the parts conducting

electrical current while the engine

is running. Failure to comply with this

creates a risk of fatal injury.<

Carefully comply with the following in-

structions to avoid personal injury or

damage to one or both vehicles:

1 Be sure that the battery on the sup-

port vehicle is also rated at 12 volts,

and that the capacities of the two

batteries (Ah) are roughly comparable

(printed on casing)

2 Leave the drained battery connected

to the vehicle's electrical system

3 Make sure that there is no contact

between the bodywork of the two

vehicles – short circuit risk!

4 Start by connecting the jumper cable

from the positive terminal of the sup-

port vehicle to the positive terminal

connector located in your BMW's

engine compartment. The cover of

the auxiliary terminal for jump-start-

ing is identified by a "+" sign. Refer to

the illustration. Remove by pulling the

tab (arrow 1)

5 Then connect the negative terminals.

Attach the cable to either the support

vehicle's negative battery terminal (–),

or to a suitable ground on its engine

or bodywork. Then connect the other

end of the cable to a ground on the

engine or on the bodywork of the ve-

hicle that is to be started. There is a

special nut provided for this on the

BMW (arrow 2)

Follow the same sequence for

connecting the jumper cables

when helping other vehicles. If you do

not, there is the risk of injury if sparks

are generated at the battery.<

6 Start the support vehicle's engine

and let it run

7 Start the engine on the vehicle need-

ing the jump-start, and allow it to run

as usual. If the first start attempt is

not successful, wait a few minutes

before another attempt in order to

allow the drained battery to recharge

8 Before disconnecting the jumper

cables from your BMW, turn on the

rear window defroster and set the

blower to the highest speed; allow the

engine to run approx. 10 seconds.

This will prevent a voltage surge from

the voltage regulator to the electrical

accessories

9 Then disconnect the jumper cables in

reverse sequence.

Depending on the reason for the mal-

function, recharge the battery.
