Automatic deactivation of front

passenger airbags

The occupation of the seat is detected by eval-

uating the impression on the occupied seat sur-

face of the front passenger seat. The front and

side airbags on the front passenger side are

activated or deactivated accordingly by the sys-

tem.

The current status of the front passenger

airbag, i.e. deactivated or activated, is

indicated by the indicator lamp over the interior

rearview mirror, refer to Operating state of front

passenger airbags in the following.<

Before transporting a child on the front

passenger seat, observe the safety infor-

mation and handling instructions under Trans-

porting children safely refer to page 55.

The front and side airbags on the front passen-

ger side can be deactivated for teenagers and

adults in certain seat positions; then the indica-

tor lamp for the front passenger airbags lights

up. In these cases, change the seat position so

that the front passenger airbags are activated

and the indicator lamp goes out. If the desired

status cannot be produced by changing the

seat position, transport the corresponding per-

son on the rear seat. Do not fit seat covers, seat

cushion padding, ball mats or other items onto

the front passenger seat unless they are specif-

ically recommended by BMW. Do not lay

objects under the seat which could press

against the seat from below. Otherwise a cor-

rect evaluation of the occupied seat surface

cannot be ensured.<
