1.Select the driver's door mirror with the
switch
2.When you tap the selector lever to select
reverse, the door mirror on the passenger
side tilts downward. This allows the driver
to see the area immediately adjacent to the
vehicle Ð such as a curb Ð when parking,
etc.
You can deactivate this automatic feature:
Slide the mirror selection switch to the
"passenger's side" position.
Airbags 1Front airbags for driver and front
passenger
2Head airbags in front and rear
*
3Side airbags in front and rear*
4Knee airbags for driver and front
passenger
Airbags are located under the upholstery
covers on the steering wheel, in the instru-
ment panel, in the door trim panels in front
and rear
*, on the roof pillars and the sides
of the headliner.
Protective effect The front airbags protect the front passen-
gers by responding to frontal impacts in
which safety belts alone cannot provide
adequate restraint. When needed, the head
and side airbags help provide protection in
the event of side impact. The side airbags
help restrain the side of the occupant's
upper torso, and the head airbags help
support the head while also helping
provide protection against any objects
penetrating into the passenger compart-ment. The knee airbags help protect the
legs against impact against the cockpit.
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 activated if you desire
to do so. Please contact your BMW center
for additional information.<
For information on the proper sitting posi-
tion, refer to page 45.
The airbags do not deploy in
response to minor collisions or rear
impacts, nor do they respond to certain
kinds of vehicle rollover.<
Even when all safety guidelines are
observed, there is a small residual risk that
passengers will sustain facial, hand or arm
injuries in isolated instances. The ignition
and inflation noise may provoke a mild
temporary hearing loss in extremely sensi-
tive individuals.

tion in the intermittent mode whenever the
vehicle stops. Fast wiper speed You can also select this position by

The system automatically reverts to opera-
tion in the standard wipe mode whenever
the vehicle stops. 4 Clean windshield The system sprays washer fluid against the
windshield and activates the wipers for a
brief period. Cleaning headlamps >Each fifth time you press into position 4
to wash the windshield while the head-
lamps are on.
Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the
windshield. If you do so, your vision could
be obscured. To avoid freezing, use a
washer fluid antifreeze, refer to page 73.
Avoid activating the washer when the
reservoir is empty, as damage to the pump
could result.< Windshield washer nozzles The windshield washer nozzles and the
windshield itself in the area around the
wipers are heated automatically when the
ignition is switched on. Rain sensor
The rain sensor is located on the wind-
shield, directly in front of the interior rear-
view mirror. To activate the rain sensor Press briefly with ignition in radio mode,
refer to arrow. The indicator lamp comes
on. The wipers will always respond by
completing at least one sweep of the wind-
shield. Adjusting rain sensor sensitivity level Turn the rotary knob 5. To deactivate the rain sensor Press the button again. The indicator lamp
goes out.
The rain sensor is automatically deac-
tivated when you switch off the igni-
tion.<
Deactivate the rain sensor when
passing through an automatic car
wash. Failure to do so could result in
damage caused by undesired wiper activa-
tion.< Selecting wiper fold-out position Important for changing wiper blades, when
folding away from windshield to prevent
blades from sticking when ice forms, etc.
1.Switch off the engine and remove the
remote control unit from the ignition lock
2.Press the wiper lever up and maintain
pressure for about 3 seconds, continuing
until the wipers are roughly vertical Ð this is
the fold-out position.
After folding the wipers back against the
windshield you will need to reactivate the
wiper system:
1.Insert the remote control unit to activate
the radio mode in the ignition lock
2.Apply brief upward pressure to the
wiper lever. The wipers return to their
retracted position and are ready for normal
operation.
To prevent damage to the wipers,
always fold them back against the
