Before every drive, make sure that all occupants
wear their safety belts. Airbags complement the
safety belt as an additional safety device, but
they do not represent a substitute.

Closing

Make sure you hear the latch plate engage in
the belt buckle.
The upper belt anchor is suitable for adults of
any stature as long as the seat is adjusted prop-
erly, refer to page

Opening

Grasp the belt firmly.

Press the red button in the buckle.

Guide the belt into its reel.

'Fasten safety belts' reminder for front
seats

The indicator lamp comes on and an
acoustic signal sounds. In addition, a
message will appear on the Control
Display. Check whether the safety

belt has been fastened correctly.
The 'Fasten safety belts' reminder is issued as
long as the driver's safety belt has not been fas-
tened. The 'Fasten safety belts' reminder is also
activated at road speeds above approx. 5 mph
or 8 km/h if the front passenger's safety belt is
not fastened, if heavy objects are placed on the
front passenger seat, or if driver or front pas-
senger 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.

Belt hand-over

The concept

The belt hand-over makes it easier for you to
fasten your safety belt. When you close the
door and switch on the ignition or turn the igni-
tion key to the radio-ready position, the belt
hand-over extends automatically and presents
the belt in a position that is convenient for fas-
tening it around you. After you have fastened
your safety belt, the belt hand-over retracts to
its original position.

Even if you have not yet fastened your safety
belt, the belt hand-over will retract if you:

wait for more than approx. one minute

open the corresponding door

start to drive.

Closing the respective door reactivates the belt
hand-over if the ignition or radio-readiness are
on.

Front passenger's seat

The belt hand-over will extend only if the seat is
occupied and after the front passenger's door is
closed.
