Convertible: rollover
protection system
The rollover protection system is activated
automatically in the event of an accident of suf-
ficient severity or an extreme tilt in the car's lon-
gitudinal axis. The protection bars behind the
rear head restraints deploy within fractions of a
second.
As a supplementary system to the reinforced
windshield frame, the rollover protection
system increases the safety of the vehicle
occupants.
Always keep the area of movement of the
rollover protection system clear.
In minor accidents, you are protected by the
fastened safety belt and, depending on acci-
dent severity, by the safety belt tensioner and
multi-phase airbag retention system.<
Resetting
If the rollover protection system was not
impacted after being automatically activated, it
can be reset by lowering the protection bars to
their original positions. This does not require
tools.
1. Push the locking lever to one side and hold
it there.
2. Push the protection bar halfway down from
above.
3. Release the locking lever.
4. Push the protection bar down until it snaps
into place.
5. Repeat the procedure for the other protec-
tion bar.
Have the rollover protection system checked
after an unexpected activation.
If the rollover protective system is
extended, do not operate the convertible
top.
Do not make any modifications to the individual
components of the rollover protection system
or its cabling.
Work on the rollover protection system should
be performed only by your BMW center.
Faulty repair may lead to the failure of the sys-
tem or malfunctions.
To check the system and ensure flawless long-
term operation, always observe the service
intervals, refer to page 80.<
