▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jack‐

ets, over the backrests.

▷ Make sure that passengers do not lean their

heads against the side airbag; otherwise, se‐

rious injuries could result if the airbag sud‐

denly deployed.

▷ Do not remove the airbag restraint system.

▷ Do not remove the steering wheel.

▷ Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐

bag cover panels, cover them or modify

them in any way.

▷ Never modify either the individual compo‐

nents or the wiring in the airbag system. This

also applies to the covers of the steering

wheel, the dashboard and the seats.◀

In the case of a malfunction, deactivation

and after triggering of the airbags

Do not touch the individual components imme‐

diately after the system has been triggered; oth‐

erwise, there is the danger of burns.

Only have the airbags checked, repaired or dis‐

mantled and the airbag generator scrapped by

your service center or a workshop that has the

necessary authorization for handling explosives.

Non-professional attempts to service the sys‐

tem could lead to failure in an emergency or un‐

desired triggering of the airbag, either of which

could result in injury.◀

Warning notices and information about the air‐

bags can also be found on the sun visors.

Automatic deactivation of the

passenger airbags

The system determines whether the front pas‐

senger seat is occupied by measuring the re‐

sistance of the human body. The front and side

airbags on the front passenger side are acti‐

vated or deactivated accordingly by the system.

The indicator lamp above the interior rearview

mirror shows the current status of the passen‐

ger airbags, deactivated or activated, refer to

Status of passenger airbags below.

Passenger feet in the footwell

Make sure that the front passenger keeps

his or her feet in the footwell; otherwise, the front

passenger airbags may not function properly.◀

Child restraint fixing system in the front

passenger seat

Before transporting a child on the passenger

seat, read the safety and operating instructions

under Transporting children safely, refer to

page 43.◀

Malfunction of the automatic

deactivation system

The front passenger airbags may be deactivated

if adolescents and adults sit in certain positions;

the indicator lamp for the front passenger air‐

bags comes on. In this case, change the sitting

position so that the front passenger airbags are

activated and the indicator lamp goes out. If the

desired airbag status cannot be achieved by

changing the sitting position, do not transport

the passenger in the vehicle.

To make sure that occupation of the seat cush‐

ion can be detected correctly:

▷ Do not attach seat covers, seat cushion pad‐

ding, ball mats or other items to the passen‐

ger seat unless they are specifically recom‐

mended by BMW.

▷ Do not place any objects on the front pas‐

senger seat.

▷ Do not place objects under the seat that

could press against the seat from below.
