Airbags

Indicator lamp

The indicator lamp displays the

operational status of the airbag

system in ignition key posi-

tions 1 and 2.

System operational:

> The indicator lamp comes on briefly

then goes out.

System malfunction:

> The indicator lamp fails to come on

> The indicator lamp comes on briefly

before going out and then lighting up

again.

A system malfunction could prevent the

system from responding to an impact

occurring within its normal response

range.

Please have your authorized BMW cen-

ter inspect and repair the system as

soon as possible.

Sitting correctly with airbags

For your safety, comply with the

following instructions for the air-

bags. If you do not, the airbags may not

be able to provide their maximum pro-

tection. All passengers in the vehicle

should be aware of and comply with

this information:

The airbags are supplemental restraint

devices designed to provide extra pro-

tection; they are not a substitute for

safety belts. Wear your safety belt at all

times. The airbags will not be triggered

in the event of a minor accident, a vehi-

cle roll-over, or collisions from the rear.

In these instances, the safety belt pro-

vides optimal protection.

Airbags are located under cover panels

in the steering wheel, in the dashboard,

in the side trim panels in the front and

rear

*, and in the windshield pillars and

the sides of the headliner.

Adjust your seat to a position that pro-

vides maximum distance between you

and the steering wheel, the instrument

panel and the door while still allowing

comfortable and safe access to all

vehicle controls.

To avoid sustaining hand and arm inju-

ries: Always grasp the steering wheel

on the rim with the hands at the 9 and

3 o'clock positions: Do not place your

hands on the center pad.

Never allow any objects to obstruct the

area between the airbag and an occu-

pant.

Do not use the cover panel above the

passenger-side airbag as a storage

area.

Do not apply adhesive materials to the

cover panels of the airbags, cover them

or modify them in any other way.

Do not install a rear-facing child re-

straint system in the front passenger

seat of this car.

Children under 13 years of age and

children less than 5 feet (150 cm) tall

should ride only in the rear seat.

Infants or small children should never

be held on the lap of a passenger.

If your car is equipped with side airbags

in the rear passenger area, be sure that

child restraints are mounted correctly

and provided with the greatest-possible

distance between the airbags in the

side trim panels. Do not allow children

to lean out of the child's seat in the di-

rection of the side trim panels. If they

do so, serious injuries can occur if the

airbag is triggered.<
