BMW 3: Equipotential bonding
The low-resistance connection between the housing of the high-voltage battery unit and ground is a crucial prerequisite for the fault-free function of the integrated isolation monitoring. This is why it is important to observe the correct tightening torque for all assembly screws. It is also important to ensure that neither the housing of the high-voltage battery unit nor the body at the respective bore holes/threads is painted, corroded or dirty. The bare metal must be exposed if necessary before the assembly screws can be mounted.
If the low-resistance connection between the high-voltage battery unit and the body ground is insufficient, then a possible isolation fault remains unnoticed and cannot be detected by the isolation monitoring. In the event of a fault, there is the potential danger of an electric shock.
When mounting the mounting bolts and equipotential bonding screws, the exact procedure must be observed:
- Clean contact surfaces and screw hole threads and have them checked by a second person
- Tighten assembly screws to specified torque
- Have torque checked by second person
- Both persons must record this in the vehicle records for the correctness of the version. The "Form for equipotential bonding screw connections" is provided in ISTA application for this purpose.

Number of safety belts and
safety belt buckles
The vehicle is fitted with five safety belts to ensure
occupant safety. However, they can only offer
protection when adjusted correctly.
The two outer safety belt buckles of the rear
seats are intended for the persons sitting on the
left and right.
The center safety belt buckle of the rear seats is
Automatic climate control - adjusting the air flow manually
Concept
The air flow for climate control can be adjusted
manually.
General information
To adjust the air flow manually switch off AUTO
program first.
Operation
Press the lower or upper side of
the
button: decrease or increase air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the climate
control display.
