unfasten their seat belts.
Damaged seat belts
If the seat belts have been exposed to
loads in an accident or damaged in any
way: replace the belt system, including the
seat-belt tensioner and any child restraint sys-
tems, and have the belt anchorage checked.
Always have this work performed by BMW
Service or a workshop that operates to BMW
specifications and has suitably trained person-

systems is not ensured.<
Mirrors
Outside mirrors
The outer sections of the mirrors show a larger
field of view
*
than the inner sections. In this
way, the view to the rear is extended and the so-
called blind spot is reduced in size.
Objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. Do not gauge your dis-
tance from following traffic based on what you
see in the mirror; otherwise there is an
increased risk of accident.<

*
The setting for the outside mirrors is stored for
the remote control currently in use. When the
vehicle is unlocked, the stored position is called
up automatically.
Adjusting manually
The mirrors can also be adjusted manually:
press the edge of the glass.
Folding mirrors in and out*
At speeds up to approx. 20 km/h, approx.
12 mph, you can fold the mirrors in or out by
pressing button 3. This can be useful in narrow
streets, for instance, or to fold the mirrors back
out into the correct position after they have
been folded in manually. Mirrors that were
folded in fold back out automatically when the
car reaches a speed of approx. 40 km/h, approx.
25 mph.
Before driving through a car wash, fold
the mirrors in manually or by pressing
button 3; otherwise, they could be damaged
due to the width of the car.<
Automatic heating*
Both outside mirrors are heated automatically
while the engine is running or the ignition is
switched on.
Passenger-side mirror tilt-down –
parking position function*
Activating
1. Push the switch to the position for the
driver's-side mirror, arrow 1.
2. Engage reverse gear or move the selector
lever to position R.
The glass of the mirror on the passenger
side tilts slightly down. The road surface
close to the car, e.g. the kerb, is thus
brought within the driver's field of view in
