Even when you follow all instructions very
closely, injury from contact with the airbags
cannot be fully ruled out in certain situations.
The ignition and inflation noise may lead
to short-term and, in most cases, temporary
hearing impairment in sensitive occupants.
Vehicle modifications for a person with disabil-
ities may affect the air bag system; contact
BMW Customer Relations for further informa-
tion.
Warnings and information on the airbags are
also found on the sun visors.
Operational readiness of the airbag
system
Safety information
Warning
Individual components can be hot after de-
ployment of the airbag system. There is a risk
of injury. Do not touch individual components.
Warning
Improperly executed work can lead to failure,
malfunction or unintentional deployment of
the airbag system. In the case of a malfunc-
tion, the airbag system might not deploy as
intended despite the accident severity. There
is a risk of injury or danger to life. Have the
airbag system checked, repaired, disassem-
bled, and scrapped by an authorized service
center or another qualified service center or
repair shop.
Display in the instrument cluster
When drive-ready state is turned on,
the warning light in the instrument
cluster illuminates briefly, thereby indi-
cating the operational readiness of the entire
airbag system and the seat belt tensioners.
Malfunction
▷ Warning light does not illuminate
when drive-ready state is turned on.
▷ The warning light illuminates con-
tinuously.
The airbag system or the seat belt tension-
ers may be not operational. Have the vehicle
checked immediately by an authorized service
center or another qualified service center or
repair shop.
Setting the front seat positions
The power that deploys the driver's/front pas-
senger airbags depends on the position of the
driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this function, cali-
brate the electrical front seats as soon as a re-
spective message appears on the control dis-
play.
