Controls Technology for driving comfort and safety

Before transporting a child on the front

passenger seat, read the safety precau-

tions and handling instructions under Trans-

porting children safely, refer to page 58.

The front and side airbags can also be deacti-

vated by adolescents and adults sitting in cer-

tain positions; the indicator lamp for the front

passenger airbags lights up. In such cases, the

passenger should change his or her sitting

position so that the front passenger airbags are

activated and the indicator lamp goes out. If the

desired airbag status cannot be achieved by

changing the sitting position, transport the rele-

vant passenger on a rear seat. Do not attach

seat covers, seat cushion padding, ball mats or

other items to the front passenger seat unless

they are specifically recommended by BMW.

Do not place any items under the seat which

could press against the seat from below. Other-

wise, a correct analysis of the seat cushion is

not ensured.<

Status of front passenger airbags

The indicator lamp for the front passenger air-

bags shows the functional status of the front

passenger front and side airbags in accordance

with whether and how the front passenger seat

is occupied. The indicator lamp shows whether

the front passenger airbags are activated or

deactivated.

> The indicator lamp lights up when a child in

a specially designated child restraint sys-

tem is detected, as intended, on the seat.

The front and side airbags for the front

passenger are not activated.

Most child seats are detected by the

system. This particularly applies to

child seats that were required by NHTSA at

the time of manufacture of the vehicle. After

mounting a child seat, ensure that the indi-

cator lamp for the front passenger airbag is

lit. It indicates that the child seat has been

detected and that the front passenger air-

bags are deactivated.<

> The indicator lamp does not come on when,

for example, a person of sufficient size and

in a correct sitting position is detected on

the seat.

The front and side airbags for the front

passenger are activated.

> The indicator lamp does not light up if the

seat is empty.

The front and side airbags for the front

passenger are not activated.

Operational readiness of airbag system

As of radio readiness, refer to page 61, the

warning lamp lights up briefly to indicate that

the entire airbag system and the belt tensioners

are operational.

Airbag system malfunction

> Warning lamp does not light up at radio

readiness or beyond.

> Warning lamp remains permanently on.

In the event of a fault in the airbag system,

have it checked without delay; otherwise,

there is the risk that the system will not function

as intended even if a sufficiently severe acci-

dent occurs.<
