Your seated position should be as
far as convenient from the steering
wheel or fascia.
Always hold the steering wheel by its
rim. Failure to drive in this manner could
result in hand or arm injuries if the air-
bag operates.
No objects should be held or allowed to
rest between the airbag and the seat
occupant's body.
Always wear your seat belt on every
journey. The airbags are additional
safety devices, and must not be
regarded as an alternative to wearing
the seat belt. Please note that in less
severe accidents or if the car rolls over
or the impact takes place at the side or
the rear, protection is only provided by
the seat belt.
Child restraint systems mounted on the
front passenger's seat are not permitted
on cars with a front-passenger airbag.
In certain countries it is in any case
required by law that children under the
age of 12 should only travel on the rear
seats.
Even if all the appropriate precautions
are taken, the risk of facial injuries when
airbags are triggered off cannot be
entirely ruled out in all accident situa-
tions.

Airbag safety instructions
The airbag restraint system's gas gener-
ator must not be removed from the car.
Any testing and assembly work on it
may only be carried out by specially
trained personnel. In the event of mal-
functions of the airbag system, if the car
is laid up out of use or if the airbag sys-
tem was triggered off in an accident,
BMW Service must be entrusted with
the necessary repair or removal work.
No modifications to individual compo-
nents or to the wiring should be
attempted. This includes the padded
cover in the centre of the steering wheel
and the cover on the instrument panel,
which must never be covered with
adhesive or any other material or modi-
fied in any way. The steering wheel itself
must not be taken off.
In order to comply with valid safety reg-
ulations, the airbag generator must only
be scrapped 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.
b
The driver should inform your pas-
sengers about the airbag restraint sys-
tem and ensure that they comply with
the necessary precautions.
