Seat belts
For your own safety
Always fasten your seat belt before
every journey, despite the presence of
an airbag: the airbags are a comple-
mentary safety feature, not a substitute
for the seat belts.
To fasten
the seat belt buckle must be heard to
engage.
To unfasten
1. Press the red button on the catch
2. Hold onto the belt
3. Guide the belt back up to the reel.
As the seat is moved forwards and
back, the upper belt loop is automati-
cally adjusted to the wearer's height.

If exposed to severe accident
loads or damage: have the seat
belt system renewed by BMW Service
and the belt anchorages checked,
otherwise their safety function can no
longer be assured.
