High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery
Care and Repairs
The BMW i3 and BMW i3 with Range Extender
are powered by a high-voltage lithium-ion battery
enclosed in a self-contained system. Opening or
removing the self-contained system creates a
genuine risk of severe damage to the high-
voltage lithium-ion battery as well as personal
injury, including fatal electrocution.
The high-voltage lithium-ion battery requires no
maintenance except for keeping the vehicle’s
high-voltage lithium-ion battery charged to
proper specifications; refer to the Owner’s
Manual.
For the entire duration of the high-voltage
lithium-ion battery Limited Warranty and the
high-voltage lithium-ion battery Capacity
Coverage, repairs performed according to limited
warranties and capacity coverage are provided
without charge. The vehicle should be taken to
an authorized BMW center to have these repairs
performed by specially trained personnel under
the terms of the high-voltage lithium-ion battery
Limited Warranty and the high-voltage lithium-
ion battery Capacity Coverage.
Corrosion Protection
Extensive corrosion protection measures
implemented by BMW now make it possible to
offer a 12-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion
warranty against rust perforation on your vehicle
provided that the vehicle is properly maintained.
Information on proper maintenance is available in
this Booklet and your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
Body parts are designed to provide optimum
corrosion protection.
During manufacture, metal exterior body parts
receive an additional corrosion protection coat.
Corrosion protection materials tested over many
years are applied to the surfaces of cavities and
to the entire underside of the vehicle during and
after assembly.
For additional information on the 12-year
unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty, see
the Warranty Section of this Booklet (page 19).
Restoring corrosion protection
Please take care that anti-corrosion material is
replaced when your car is repaired after body or
chassis damage.
BMW will not accept any liability for repair of,
or damage caused by, any parts and
accessories not approved by BMW.
