Seat belt
d Warning:
Keep the seat-belt straps
clean at all times, because
foreign-matter accretions
can impair operation of the
inertia-reel mechanism.
Make sure that the belt
buckles are not clogged
with foreign matter (paper
or the like), as otherwise the
belt tongues will not
engage.
If the vehicle is involved in
an accident or if the belt
webbing, the connections,
the inertia reel or the belt
buckle is damaged, have
the seat belt in question
replaced and the belt
anchorages checked by a
specialist workshop, prefer-
ably an authorised
BMW dealer.
Important notes on using
the restraint system
In extremely severe weather
conditions and/or on account of
other influences (vehicle is
washed and a frosty night, for
example) individual belt compo-
nents might fail to function cor-
rectly. If this happens (belt
buckle frozen, or similar occur-
rence), do not under any cir-
cumstances use a heat source
to thaw the belt buckle or any
other part of the restraint
system/vehicle.
The use of BMW-approved de-
icers, however, is permitted.
Make sure that the seat belt
does not come into contact
with sharp objects which could
damage it.
If foreign matter causes the belt
buckle to malfunction, have the
fault rectified immediately by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW dealer.

Environmental protection
Development…BMW C1 riders have an inten-
sive relationship with nature.
Here too, BMW has created the
best possible preconditions for
a successful future.
This not only because your new
BMW C1 has exhaust emission
control by closed-loop, three-
way catalytic converter as
standard.
…waste disposal …Behind the scenes, in the repair
shop, we don't neglect the pro-
environmental aspects of our
work either.
Wherever possible, we use
environmentally acceptable
materials that can be broken
down by biological methods.
We ensure strict compliance
with all environmental legisla-
tion, for example the correct
disposal of old oil, which is now
classified as hazardous waste
in many countries.…recyclingApart from the correct disposal
of materials that are potentially
hazardous to the environment,
recycling is being given
increasing priority by BMW.
For example, plastics are indi-
vidually marked so that they can
be returned to the materials
cycle. Remember: when it
comes to making repairs to
your vehicle, the authorised
BMW workshop is far better
equipped to protect the envi-
ronment than you are at home.
