Seats
Before adjusting your seat, always
observe the following precautions
Never try to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat could
respond with an unexpected movement,
and the ensuing loss of vehicle control
could result in an accident.
Never ride with the backrest inclined to an
extreme angle – this also applies to the
passenger seat. If you do so, there is a risk
that you will slide under the safety belt in
the event of an accident, thus reducing the
protection provided by the safety belt.<
In addition, observe the instructions
regarding damaged safety belts on
page 30.

belt buckle.The warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up for a few seconds

sion, an acoustic signal
* sounds at the
same time.

1.Press the red button in the belt buckle
2.Hold the belt
3.Guide the belt back into its reel.
The upper belt attachment point is suitable
for all body sizes provided that the person
is sitting correctly, refer to page 28.
Damaged safety belts
If the safety belts are damaged or
stretched in an accident: have the
entire belt system, including the tensioning
mechanisms, replaced at your BMW cen-
ter. Have the belt anchorage points
inspected for damage at the same time.
Failure to observe this precaution may pre-
vent the safety belts from effectively pro-
viding optimal protection when needed.<

wheel while driving the vehicle. It
could respond with unexpected move-
ment, posing a potential accident hazard.<
