Working on the vehicle
DANGER
Improperly performed work, in particular main‐
tenance and repair on the high-voltage system
and the carbon body as well as accessories ret‐
rofits, can lead to electric shock. There is a risk
of injury, fire and danger to life. Have work on
the vehicle, in particular maintenance and re‐
pair, performed by an authorized BMW i deal‐
er’s service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
Contact with water
The high-voltage system is typically safe even in
the following example situations:
▷ Water in the floor area, for instance after a
rainstorm when the roof was kept open.
▷ Vehicle is in water but only up to the allowed
height.
▷ Fluid escapes in the cargo area.
Automatic deactivation
If an accident occurs, the high-voltage system is
switched off automatically to prevent risk of dan‐
ger to occupants and other traffic.
Read the information on What to do after an ac‐
cident, refer to page 231.
