BMW 2012 640i Convertible Manual De Propietario

1 Front airbag, driver
2 Front airbag, front passenger

3 Side airbag
4 Knee airbags

Front airbags help protect the driver and front
passenger by responding to frontal impacts in
which safety belts alone cannot provide ade‐
quate restraint.

In a lateral impact, the side airbag supports the
side of the body in the chest, lap, and head area.

The knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal
impact.

Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐
tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end
collisions.

Information on how to ensure the optimal
protective effect of the airbags

▷

Keep at a distance from the airbags.

▷

Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim, holding your hands at
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to keep
the danger of injury to your hands or arms as
low as possible if the airbag is triggered.

▷

There should be no people, animals, or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.

▷

Do not use the cover of the front airbag on
the front passenger side as a storage area.

▷

Keep the dashboard and window on the
front passenger side clear, i.e., do not cover
with adhesive labels or coverings, and do not
attach holders such as for navigation instru‐
ments and mobile phones.
