Safety belts Airbags
Child restraint systems*
Never install a rear-facing child
restraint device on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, injuries
could occur when the airbag is trig-
gered in the event of an accident.
Children should always ride in the rear
and the restraint systems should be
secured with the outer belts.
The center seat belt should only be
used when it is necessary to secure
three child restraint systems.
Do not attempt to modify child restraint
systems. If you do this, the protection
provided by these systems could be
impaired.<
1 Front airbags on the driver and
passenger sides
2 Head airbags on the driver and
passenger sides (front and rear
*)
3 Side airbags on the driver and
passenger sides (front and rear
*)
Protective effect
The front airbags protect the driver and
passenger in the event of a severe
frontal collision in which the protection
afforded by the belts alone may no
longer be sufficient. The head protec-
tion and side airbags help provide
protection in the event of a collision
from the side. Each of the side airbags
is designed to help support the upper
body.

The side airbags in the rear
passenger area
* of your vehicle
may already have been deactivated,
either at the time of manufacture or by a
BMW center. You may have them acti-
vated if you desire to do so. Please
contact your BMW center for additional
information.<
