Adjusting

Active front head restraints

In the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient

severity, the active head restraint reduces the

distance to the head.

Do not use seat covers or head restraint

covers that could impede the proper

functioning of the active head restraint. Other-

wise, there is no assurance that the active head

restraint will perform its protective function and

it is not possible to take advantage of its injury-

reducing potential in the event of a rear-end

collision.

Have the active head restraints reset after they

are triggered in a rear-end collision. Have this

work carried out only at a BMW Sports Activity

Vehicle Center or at a workshop that works

according to BMW repair procedures with cor-

respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise,

correct operation of this safety equipment is not

guaranteed.<

Removal and installation of the front head

restraints should be performed by a BMW

Sports Activity Vehicle Center.<

Front seats: height adjustment

Adjust the head restraint so that its center is

approx. at ear level.

You can adjust the height of the head restraints

electrically.

Front seats: adjusting distance from

back of head

Press the button and pull the headrest cushion

forward or push it back.

Do not place any objects behind the

headrest cushion. Otherwise, you can

impair the proper function of the head

restraint.<

Comfort seat*

You can adjust the distance from the back of the

seat occupant's head using the shoulder sup-

port, refer to page 44.

Adjusting side extensions

You can fold the side extensions on the head

restraint forward for increased lateral support in

the resting position.
