Protective function

To avoid endangering yourself, observe the adjustment instructions.◄

Front airbags protect the driver and front passenger in a frontal collision where the seat belts alone would not provide sufficient protection. Head and side airbags provide protection in a side impact. The side airbag protects the chest area of the occupant. The head airbag protects the head.

Airbags do not deploy in every collision, which is intentional. For example, they do not deploy in minor accidents, sometimes in rollovers, and in rear impacts.

Do not apply stickers, covers, or any other modifications to airbag covers. Do not attempt to remove the airbag system yourself. Never modify the system wiring or its individual components. This also applies to the padded steering wheel trim, instrument panel, side trim, doors, roof side rails, and roof edge trim. Do not remove the steering wheel yourself. Do not touch individual system components immediately after deployment, as you may be burned. Have the airbags inspected, repaired, removed, and disabled, and have their gas generators disposed of, only by a BMW service center. Improper handling may cause the system to malfunction or deploy unintentionally, resulting in injury.◄
