BMW 2 COUPE 2016, Owner'S Manual

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.
With a respective message appearing on Con‐
trol Display calibrate the front seats to keep
the accuracy of this function over the long-
term.
Calibrating the front seats
A corresponding message appears on the
Control Display.
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.
The calibration procedure is completed when
the message on the Control Display disap‐
pears.
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.
Unobstructed area of movement
Ensure that the area of movement of the
seats is unobstructed to avoid personal injury
or damage to objects.◀
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.
Supplementing the reinforced front windshield
frame, the rollover protection system further
increases passenger safety.
Hints
Keep the movement area unobstructed
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.◀
Do not place any objects on the covers of the
rollover protection system.
In the event of malfunctions, deactivation
or after deployment
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.◀
Triggered rollover protection system
After deployment or damage
After deployment of the rollover protec‐
tion system or in the event of damage, have
the system checked and replaced.
Have this work performed only by your service
center; otherwise, this safety feature might not
work properly.◀
