SUBJECT
Luggage Compartment Roller Cover: Symptom Diagnosis

MODEL
E61 (5 Series Sports Wagon)

SITUATION
Symptom diagnosis has been expanded to include the luggage compartment roller cover.

Symptom diagnosis includes topics from the following categories:

^ Functional/Mechanical Failures

Symptom diagnosis is updated periodically, so always use the current DIS Version when performing symptom diagnosis.

CAUSE
Due to the complexity of current vehicle systems, it is becoming more difficult to test and repair these systems using straightforward diagnosis.

The information in symptom diagnosis is based on technician feedback and experiences dealing with these symptoms.

PROCEDURE

1. Identify the exact customer complaint.

2. Perform a short test using the latest version of diagnostic software.

3. Select the "Function selection" button.

^ [NEW] Select "Complete vehicle"/"Body"/"Mechanism, Noises, Optical Elements"/"Noises "/"Roller Cover Noises".
