EnglishSafety -> Rollover protection system for your BMW 6 Series 2011-2017
Controls
Safety
Supplementing the reinforced front windshield
frame, the rollover protection system further
increases passenger safety.
Strength of the driver's and front-seat
passenger airbag
The explosive power that activates driver's/
front passenger's airbags very much depends
on the positions of the driver's/front passeng‐
er's seat.
Hints
Keep the movement area unobstructed
With a respective message appearing on Con‐
trol Display calibrate the front seats to keep
the accuracy of this function over the long-
term.
Always keep the movement area of the
rollover protection system clear. Otherwise,
there may be damage or injuries when the roll‐
over protection system is triggered.◀
In the event of malfunctions, deactivation
or after deployment
Calibrating the front seats
A corresponding message appears on the
Control Display.
Only have the airbags checked, repaired or dis‐
mantled and the system scrapped by your
service center. Non-professional attempts to
service the system could lead to failure in an
emergency or unintentional activation of the
airbag - both may lead to injury.◀
1. Press the reel and move the respective
seat all the way forward.
2. Press the reel forward again. The seat still
moves forward slightly.
3. Readjust the seat to the desired position.
Triggered rollover protection system
The calibration procedure is completed when
the message on the Control Display disap‐
pears.
After deployment or damage
After deployment of the rollover protec‐
tion system or in the event of damage, have
the system checked and replaced.
If the message continues to be displayed, re‐
peat the calibration.
If the message does not disappear after a re‐
peat calibration, have the system checked as
soon as possible.
Have this work performed only by your service
center; otherwise, this safety feature might not
work properly.◀
Unobstructed area of movement
Do not move convertible top
Ensure that the area of movement of the
seats is unobstructed to avoid personal injury
or damage to objects.◀
When the rollover protection system is
extended, do not move the convertible top.
Otherwise, damages or injuries may result.◀
If the rollover protection system was not
placed under any stress after an automatic
triggering, it can be pushed back by hand, e.g.
to close the convertible top. One person must
push down on a safety frame and the another
person must close the convertible top. The
Rollover protection system
The concept
The rollover protection system is automatically
activated in the event of a sufficiently serious
accident or if the longitudinal axis is tilted ex‐
cessively. The safety frames located behind
the rear headrests extend within fractions of a
second.

safety frame no longer engages in the lower
position.
With use of the system observe further infor‐
mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re‐
fer to page 198.
1. Press the release lever to the side and hold
it.
Functional requirements
The system must have been reset with the
correct tire inflation pressure; otherwise, relia‐
ble signaling of tire inflation pressure loss is
not assured.
Reset the system after each adjustment of the
tire inflation pressure and after every tire or
wheel change.
Always use wheels with TPM electronics to
ensure that the system will operate properly.
2. Push down the safety frame and hold it.
3. Release the release lever only if the safety
frame was pushed back almost completely.
Status display
The current status of the Tire Pressure Moni‐
tor TPM can be displayed on the Control Dis‐
play, e.g., whether or not the TPM is active.
4. Close the convertible top.
5. Slowly reduce pressure on the safety
frame in order to allow it to move upwards.
Make sure that your hands do not become
trapped between the safety frame and roof.
On the Control Display:
1. "Vehicle info"
2. "Vehicle status"
Malfunction
3.
"Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)"
A Check Control message is displayed
when there is a malfunction.
The status is displayed.
Status control display
Tire and system status are indicated by the
color of the wheels and a text message on the
Control Display.
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM
The concept
All wheels green
The system monitors tire inflation pressure in
the four mounted tires. The system warns you
if there is a significant loss of pressure in one
or more tires. For this purpose, sensors in the
tire valves measure the tire inflation pressure
and tire temperature.
System is active and will issue a warning rela‐
tive to the tire inflation pressures stored during
the last reset.
One wheel is yellow
A flat tire or major drop in inflation pressure in
the indicated tire.
Hints
Tire damage due to external factors
All wheels are yellow
A flat tire or major drop in inflation pressure in
several tires.
Sudden tire damage caused by external
circumstances cannot be recognized in ad‐
vance.◀
