WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW M3, 2012 BMW M3, and 2011 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
1.0 Battery
- Explosion hazard in the vicinity of the battery during welding and grinding work. The battery must be REMOVED .
2.0 Control units
- Control units with visible mechanical damages and/or electrical damages caused by accidents must be replaced.
- The following risks exist when the battery is connected:
- Damage to control units resulting from welding work on the body or a line short circuit.
- Accidental activation of airbags during straightening work on the body.
Because of these risks the ground cable must be DISCONNECTED prior to all repair work.
- Control units are designed for a temperature of 65 °C. The temperatures in a spray booth do not pose any problems. If a vehicle is in the spray booth at a displayed temperature of 80°C, the actual temperature of the vehicle is ≤ 60 °C (object temperature).
- Protect control units against the influence of heat >65 °C (e.g. during welding and drying work with infrared beams or hot air blowers).
3.0 Electrical wires and wiring harnesses
- Protect electrical wires and wiring harnesses against damage (e.g. during straightening and grinding work).
- Protect electrical wiring and wiring harnesses against the influence of heat >65 °C (e.g. during welding and drying work with infrared beams or hot air blowers).
- Do not kink electrical wiring.
4.0 Optical fibres
- Follow instructions for handling OPTICAL FIBRES .
