not fastened, if objects are placed on the front
passenger seat, or if driver or front passenger
unfasten their safety belts.

Damage to safety belts

If the safety belts are damaged or
stressed in an accident: have the belt sys-

tem, including any belt tensioners or child-
restraint systems, replaced and the belt
anchors checked. Have this work done only by
your BMW center or at a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, it is
not guaranteed that the safety devices will func-
tion properly.

Mirrors

Exterior mirrors

The front passenger's mirror is more con-
vex than the driver's mirror. The objects

seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
Do not gauge your distance from traffic behind
you on the basis of what you see in the mirror;
otherwise there is an increased risk of an acci-
dent.

The setting for the exterior mirrors is stored* for
the remote control currently in use

. The stored

position is called up automatically when the
vehicle is unlocked.

Manual adjustment

The mirrors can also be adjusted manually:
press the edge of the glass.

Folding mirrors in and out*

At driving speeds up to approx. 12 mph/
20 km/h, you can fold the mirrors in and out by
pressing button

3. This can be beneficial in nar-

row streets, for example, or for moving mirrors
that were folded in by hand back out into their
correct positions. Mirrors that were folded in are
folded out automatically at a speed of approx.
25 mph/40 km/h.

Before entering an automatic car wash,
fold in the exterior mirrors by hand or with

button

3, to prevent them from being damaged

due to the width of the vehicle.

Both exterior mirrors are heated automatically
while the engine is running or the ignition is
switched on.

to the vehicle, e.g. a curb, when backing into
a parking space.
