Overview

Airbags

1 Front airbags for driver and passenger
2 Side impact Head Protection System

for driver and passenger (front)

3 Side airbags for driver and passenger

(front and rear

)

Protective effect

The front airbags supplement the three-
point safety belts by providing addi-
tional protection for the front-seat occu-
pants, in the event of a severe frontal
collision in which the protection
afforded by the belts alone may no
longer be sufficient. The Head Protec-
tion System and side airbags help
provide protection in the event of a colli-
sion from the side. Each of the side
airbags is designed to help support the
occupant's 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 airbag deployment.

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

vehicle roll-over, or collisions from the
rear.

Operational status

The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster displays the opera-
tional status of the airbag

system from ignition key position 1 and
up.

System operational:

The indicator lamp comes on briefly
then goes out.

System malfunction:

The indicator lamp fails to come on.

The indicator lamp comes on briefly
before going out and then lighting up
again.

If there is a system malfunction, there
is a risk that the airbags will not be
triggered within their normal response
range, even if the level of impact would
normally have triggered them.

Have your BMW center inspect and
repair the system immediately.

The airbag indicator lamp also
comes on if the safety belt

tensioners have been triggered.
