"Fasten safety belts" reminder for

driver's and front passenger seat

The indicator lamps light up and an

acoustic signal sounds. Check

whether the safety belt has been fas-

tened correctly.

The "Fasten safety belts" reminder is issued as

long as the driver's safety belt has not been fas-

tened. The "Fasten safety belts" reminder is

also activated at road speeds above approx.

5 mph or 8 km/h if the front passenger safety

belt is not fastened, if objects are placed on the

front passenger seat, or if driver or front pas-

senger unfasten their safety belts.

Damage to safety belts

If the safety belts are damaged or

stressed in an accident: have the belt sys-

tem, including any belt tensioners or child

restraint systems, replaced and the belt

anchors checked. Have this work done only by

your BMW center or at a workshop that works

according to BMW repair procedures with cor-

respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, it is

not guaranteed that the safety devices will func-

tion properly.<

Rear center safety belt

With through-loading system

Before using the center rear seat, release the

latch plate from the fixture on the rear window

shelf and insert it into the belt lock of the center

safety belt. Make sure you hear the latch plate

engage.

Mirrors

Exterior mirrors

The front passenger's mirror is more con-

vex than the driver's mirror. The objects

seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Do not gauge your distance from traffic behind

you on the basis of what you see in the mirror;

otherwise, there is an increased risk of an acci-

dent.<
