side-on collision. The side airbag has the effect
of supporting the upper body from the side. The
head-level airbag supports the head of the
seat's occupant.
The airbags will purposely not be activated by
every collision, e.g. not by more minor acci-
dents, certain roll-over situations and rear-end
collisions.
Never attach any material to the airbag
covers with adhesive, place material over
them or modify them in any other way. Do not fit
seat covers, cushions or other objects not spe-
cifically approved for seats with integral side air-
bags to the front seats. Do not hang items of
clothing such as coats or jackets over the back-
rests. Do not dismantle the airbag occupant
restraint system. Do not modify the individual
components of the system or its wiring in any
way. This includes the upholstered covers on
the steering wheel, instrument panel, seats and
roof posts, as well as the sides of the roof lining.
Do not remove the steering wheel.
Avoid touching the system's components
immediately after it has been triggered off, as
there is a risk of sustaining burns.
If the airbag occupant restraint system devel-
ops a fault, is shut down out of use or has been
activated, have it checked, repaired or disman-
tled and the airbag generators scrapped only by
BMW Service or by a workshop that operates to
BMW specifications and has suitably trained
personnel and the necessary permits for han-
dling explosive devices. Any careless or
unskilled interference with the system could
lead to its failure or to accidental triggering off
with the risk of injury.

Operational readiness of the airbag
system
When the remote control is inserted in the igni-
tion lock or the car is radio-ready, see page
36 ,
the warning light comes on briefly to indicate
that the entire airbag system and the belt ten-
sioners are operational.
Airbag system faulty
> Warning light does not come on when the
remote control is inserted into the ignition
lock or, in a car fitted with convenient
access
*
, when radio readiness is switched
on
> Warning light remains permanently on
In the event of a fault in the airbag system,
have it checked without delay, as there is
otherwise the risk that the system will not func-
tion as intended even if a sufficiently severe
accident occurs.
