2016 BMW M4 belt

Function
After fastening the belt, the front belts are au‐
tomatically pretensioned once when driving
away.
When driving in critical situations, the following
individual functions become active as required:▷The front belts are automatically preten‐
sioned.▷The windows are automatically closed.▷The Glass Roof automatically closes.
After a critical driving situation without acci‐
dent, the front belts are released again. All
other systems can be put back into the desired
setting.
If the belt tension does not loosen automati‐
cally, stop the vehicle and open the seat belt
using the red button in the lock section. Fasten
the seat belt again before continuing your jour‐
ney.
PostCrash The system can automatically bring the vehicle
to a standstill in certain accident situations
without the involvement of the driver. The risk
of a further collision and its consequences can
thereby be reduced.
By depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle can
be decelerated much faster. The automatic
braking is interrupted as a result. By pressing
the accelerator pedal, automatic braking is also
interrupted.
After reaching a standstill, the brake is auto‐
matically triggered. Then secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
