Never use spray starter fluids.

If the battery is discharged the engine

can be started with the use of two

jumper cables and the battery of an-

other vehicle. Always use jumper ca-

bles with fully insulated handles on the

terminal clamps.

Contact with parts conducting

electrical current on a running

engine can be harmful or fatal.<

Carefully comply with the following in-

structions to avoid personal injury and

damage to one or both vehicles:

1 Ensure 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 your battery connected to the

car 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 positive terminal

connector is marked with 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. This a spe-

cial nut that is provided on the BMW

(arrow 2)

Observe the same sequence for

connecting the jumper cables

when helping other vehicles, otherwise

there is the risk of injury if sparks gener-

ate at the battery.<

6 If the battery on the support vehicle is

weak, start the 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 discharged battery to re-

charge

8 Before disconnecting the jumper ca-

bles from your BMW, turn on the rear

window defroster and set the blower

to the highest speed; allow the en-

gine 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 cause of the fault,

recharge the battery.
