Checking and replacing safety belts
Have the work performed only by your

service center; otherwise, it cannot be ensured
that this safety feature will function properly.◀

Belt-force limiter

The effect of the belt-force limiter on the driver's
seat is dependent on the position of the driver's
seat.
To maintain the long-term accuracy of this func‐
tion, the driver's seat must be calibrated if a cor‐
responding message is displayed on the Control
Display.

Calibrating driver's seat

The warning lamp lights up. A mes‐
sage also appears on the Control Dis‐
play. Please calibrate the driver's seat.

1.

Move the driver's seat forward until it stops.

2.

Move the driver's seat forward again. It
briefly moves toward the front in the proc‐
ess.

3.

Set the desired seating position again.

The calibration is completed when the message
on the Control Display disappears. Should this
message continue to be displayed, repeat the
calibration. If the message does not disappear
even after repeated calibration, have the system
checked as soon as possible.

Do not carry out calibration while the ve‐
hicle is moving

Never carry out calibration while the vehicle is
moving, as this can cause accidents.
Make sure that no persons or objects become
wedged during the calibration process, as this
can cause injuries or damage.◀

Head restraints

Correctly adjusted head restraints

A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of spinal injury in the event of an accident.

Adjusting the head restraint
Correctly adjust the head restraints of all

occupied seats; otherwise, there is an increased
risk of injury in an accident.◀

BMW X5: push the head restraints of the 3rd row
seats* into the top position.

Height

Adjust the head restraint so that its center is ap‐
prox. at ear level.

Distance

Adjust the distance so that the head restraint is
as close as possible to the back of the head.

Active front head restraints

In the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient
severity, the active head restraint reduces the
distance to the head.

Reduced protective function

Do not use seat or head restraint cov‐
ers.

Do not hang objects, e.g., clothes hangers,
directly on the head restraints.

Only attach accessories approved by BMW
to the seat or head restraint.

Otherwise, the protective function of the active
head restraint will be impaired and the personal
safety of the occupants will be endangered.
Have the active head restraints reset after they
are triggered in a rear-end collision. Have this
work performed by the service center only; oth‐
erwise, this safety feature with not be opera‐
tional.◀

Please contact the service center if the front
head restraints need to be removed or installed.

Front seats: adjusting the height

Adjust the head restraint so that its center is ap‐
prox. at ear level.
