Airbags

1 Front airbag for driver and front

passenger

2 Side Impact Head Protection System

for driver and front passenger (front
and rear

)

3 Side airbags for driver and front

passenger (front and rear

)

Protective effect

The front airbags supplement the safety
belts by providing additional protection
for the front-seat occupants in the event
of a severe frontal impact in which the
protection afforded by the safety belts
alone may no longer be sufficient. The
Side Impact Head Protection System
and the side airbags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact.
Each of the side airbags is designed to
help support the upper body.

The side airbags in the rear
passenger area

of your vehicle

may already have been deactivated
either at the time of manufacture or by a
BMW center. You may have them acti-
vated if you desire to do so. Please
contact your BMW center for additional
information.

The illustration depicts schematically
the primary directions of vehicle impact
that initiate an airbag deployment.

The airbags will not be triggered in
the event of a minor accident, a

vehicle roll-over or a collision from the
rear.
