BMW 2008 M3 Sedan オーナーマニュアル

Most child seats are detected by the
system, especially child seats

required by the NHTSA at the time of vehi-
cle production. After mounting a child seat,
ensure that the indicator lamp for the front
passenger airbag is lit. It indicates that the
child seat has been detected and that the
front passenger airbags are deactivated.

The indicator lamp does not come on as
long as a person of sufficient size and in a
correct sitting position is detected on the
seat.
The front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger are activated.

The indicator lamp does not come on if the
seat is empty.
The front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger are not activated.

Operational readiness of airbag system

As of radio readiness, refer to page

, the

warning lamp comes on briefly to indicate that
the entire airbag system and the belt tensioners
are operational.

Airbag system malfunction

Warning lamp does not light up at radio
readiness or beyond.

Warning lamp remains permanently on.

In the event of a fault in the airbag system,
have it checked without delay, otherwise

there is the risk that the system will not function
as intended even if a sufficiently severe acci-
dent occurs.
