rear.<

Functional status
The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster displays the opera-
tional status of the airbag
system with the ignition key in position
1 and higher.
System operational:
> The indicator lamp comes on briefly
then goes out.
System malfunction:
> The indicator lamp fails to come on.
> The indicator lamp comes on briefly
before going out and then lighting
up again.
A system malfunction could prevent
the system from responding to an
impact occurring within its normal
response range.
Have the system checked by a
BMW center immediately.
Sitting correctly with airbags
For your own safety, please
observe the following precautions
concerning airbags. If you do not, their
protective function may be impaired
and your personal safety in jeopardy.
This information applies to all vehicle
occupants:
Even though there is an airbag, wear a
safety belt every time you get in the
vehicle, because airbags enhance
safety by providing added protection.
Make sure you are seated comfortably
in your seat in such a way that you
always maintain control, and are not too
close to the steering wheel.
Always hold the steering wheel by the
rim to keep any chance of injury to
hands or arms to an absolute minimum
should the airbag be deployed.
No one and nothing is to come between
the airbag and the seat occupant.
Do not use the cover panel above the
front passenger-side airbag as a
storage area.
