Safety belts Airbags Child restraint systems*
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint system in the front
passenger seat of your vehicle. If you
do so, the child could be injured in an
accident when the airbag is triggered.
Children should always ride in the rear
and the restraint systems should be
secured with the safety belts.
Do not modify the child restraint system
in any way. If you do so, it will not
provide your child with maximum
protection.<
1 Front airbags for driver and
passenger
2 Side airbags for driver and passenger
(front and rear
*)
Protective effectThe front airbags protect the front-seat
occupants in the event of a severe
frontal collision on which the protection
afforded by the belts alone may no
longer be sufficient. The side airbags
help provide protection in the event of a
collision from the side. Each of the side
airbags is designed to help support the
occupant's upper body.46cde048
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.<
