Under the hood
Never attempt to perform any service or
repair operations on your vehicle without
the required, professional technical training. If
you do not know what repair procedures to fol-
low, have work on your vehicle done only by
your BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel. If this work is
not carried out properly, there is a danger of
subsequent damage and related safety haz-
ards.

If you see any signs that the hood is not com-
pletely closed while driving your vehicle, you
