Airbags
1 Front airbags on the driver's and front
passenger's side
2 Head-level airbags on the driver's
and front passenger's side (for front
and rear
*
)
3 Side airbags on the driver's and front
passenger's side (front and rear
*
)
Protective effect
The front airbags protect the driver and
front passenger in the event of a frontal
crash, if the protective action of the
seat belts alone would be insufficient.
The head-level and side airbags
provide protection in the event of a
side-on collision. The side airbag which
inflates has the effect of supporting the
upper body from the side.

For details of the correct seated posi-
tion, see page 49.
The airbags are not triggered off in
minor accidents, nor if the car rolls
over or is struck from the rear.
<
Never attach any material to the
airbag covers with adhesive, place
material over them or modify them in
any way. Do not dismantle the airbag
occupant restraint system. If the airbag
occupant restraint system develops
a fault, is shut down out of use or
has been triggered off in an accident,
have it checked, repaired or dismantled
only by BMW Service. Never make any
modifications to the individual compo-
nents of the system or its wiring. This
includes the upholstered covers on the
steering wheel, instrument panel, side
panels on front and rear doors and roof
struts as well as down the sides of the
roof liners. Do not remove the steering
wheel. In order to comply with valid
safety regulations, have airbag genera-
tors scrapped only by BMW Service.
Any careless or unskilled interference
with the system could lead to its failure
or to accidental triggering off with the
risk of injury. Avoid touching the
system's components immediately after
it has been triggered off, as there is a
risk of sustaining burns.
<
Even if all these instructions are
complied with, injury to the face, arms
or hands as a result of the airbag
inflating cannot be entirely ruled out,
depending on the circumstances in
which an accident occurs. If the car's
occupants are unduly sensitive to the
ignition and inflation noise generated by
the airbag systems, their hearing may
be temporarily affected.
