General information
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of injury to cervical vertebrae in the event
of an accident.
Safety belt reminder for driver's and
passenger's seat
The indicator lamp lights up and a sig‐
nal sounds. Make sure that the safety
belts are positioned correctly. The
safety belt reminder is active at speeds above
approx. 6 mph/10 km/h. It can also be activated
if objects are placed on the front passenger
seat.
Note
Adjusting the head restraint
Adjust the head restraints of all occupied
seats properly; otherwise, there is an increased
risk of injury in an accident.◀
Height
Safety mode
Adjust the head restraint so that its center is
approximately at ear level.
In critical situations, e.g., during full brake ap‐
plication, the front safety belts tighten auto‐
matically.
Distance
Adjust the distance so that the head restraint
is as close as possible to the back of the head.
If the situation passes without an accident oc‐
curring, the belt tension relaxes.
If the belt tension does not loosen automati‐
cally, stop the vehicle and unbuckle the belt
using the red button in the buckle. Fasten the
belt before continuing on your trip.
Active head restraint
In the event of a rear-end collision with a cer‐
tain severity, the active head restraint automat‐
ically reduces the distance from the head.
Damage to safety belts
Reduced protective function
Wear and tear after accidents or when dam‐
aged otherwise:
▷
Do not use seat or head restraint
covers.
Have the safety belts, including the safety belt
tensioners, replaced and have the belt anchors
checked.
▷
▷
Do not hang objects, e.g., clothes hangers,
on the head restraints.
Only attach accessories approved by BMW
to the seat or head restraint.
Check and replace safety belts
This should only be done by your service
center; otherwise, this safety feature might not
work properly.◀
Otherwise, the protective function of the active
head restraint will be impaired and the per‐
sonal safety of the occupants will be endan‐
gered.◀
Wear and tear after accidents or when dam‐
aged otherwise:
Have the active headrest checked and if
needed replaced.
