A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the 
risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.

Adjust the head restraint in such a way 
that its center is at approx. ear level. Oth-

erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the 
event of an accident. Only remove a head 
restraint if no one will be sitting on the seat in 
question. Reinstall the head restraint before 
transporting anyone on that seat. Otherwise, 
the passenger will be without protection from 
the head restraint.

<

Adjust the head restraint so that its center is 
approximately at ear level.

Adjust the distance so that the head restraint is 
as close as possible to the back of the head.

In a rear collision of a sufficient strength, the 
active head restraint reduces the distance to 
the head.

Do not use seat or head restraint covers 
that could impair the function of the active 

head restraint. Otherwise, the protective func-
tion of the active head restraint will not be 
ensured and its full potential in reducing the risk 
of injury in the event of a rear collision may not 
be realized.
In the event of malfunctions, deactivation or 
triggering of the active head restraints, have the 
testing, repair and removal executed only by a 
BMW center or a workshop that works accord-
ing to repair procedures of BMW with corre-
spondingly trained personnel and that has the 
required explosives licenses. Unprofessional 
attempts to work on the system could lead to 
failure in an emergency or to undesired airbag 
activation, either of which could result in per-
sonal injury.

<

For technical reasons, the head restraint 
cannot be removed.
