Safety belts
Despite the presence of airbags, you
should always remember to fasten your
safety belt before starting off; airbags are
intended to enhance the protection
provided by the safety belts, and not to
replace them.
To fasten
Make sure you hear the latch plate engage
in the belt buckle.
Warning lamp: Please fasten safety
belts. Accompanied by a signal
and/or a message in the Check
Control display. Remains on until the safety
belts are fastened.
To release
Press the red button in the buckle. Hold the
belt and guide it back into its reel.
The shoulder strap's anchorage point will
be in the correct position for seat occu-
pants of every build if the seat is correctly
adjusted, refer to page
45 .
The two rear safety belt buckles integrated
in the rear seat are for passengers sitting
on the left and right. The belt buckle
embossed with the word CENTER is
intended exclusively for use by passengers
riding in the center position.
Please remember to observe the instruc-
tions for seat adjustment found on
page
45 .
If the safety belts are damaged or
stretched in an accident: have the
entire belt system, including the tensioning
mechanisms and any installed child-
restraint systems, replaced at your BMW
center. Have the belt anchorage points
inspected for damage at the same time.
Failure to observe this precaution may
prevent the safety belts from effectively
providing optimal protection when
needed.
