– Do not modify individual components
or wiring. This also applies to the dash-
board, steering wheel covers, and seats.
– Do not disassemble the airbag system.
Even when you follow all instructions very
closely, injury from contact with the airbags
cannot be fully ruled out in certain situa-
tions.
The ignition and inflation noise may lead
to short-term and, in most cases, temporary
hearing impairment in sensitive occupants.
Vehicle modifications for a person with dis-
abilities may affect the air bag system; con-
tact MINI Customer Relations for further
information.
Warnings and information on the airbags
are also found on the sun visors.
Operational readiness of the airbag
system
Safety information
Warning
Individual components can be hot after de-
ployment of the airbag system. There is
a risk of injury. Do not touch individual
components.
Warning
Improperly executed work can lead to fail-
ure, malfunction or unintentional deploy-
ment of the airbag system. In the case of
a malfunction, the airbag system might not
deploy as intended despite the accident
severity. There is a risk of injury or danger
to life. Have the airbag system checked,
repaired, disassembled, and scrapped by
an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
Interaction Unit view
The airbag system warning light
on the Interaction Unit illuminates
briefly when drive-ready state is
turned on, thus indicating the operational
readiness of the entire airbag system and
seat belt tensioners.
Malfunction
– The airbag system warning light
on the Interaction Unit does not
illuminate when drive-ready state
is turned on.
– The airbag system warning light on
the Interaction Unit illuminates continu-
ously.
The airbag system or the seat belt tension-
ers may not be operational. Have the vehi-
cle checked immediately by an authorized
service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
Setting the front seat positions
The power that deploys the driver's/front
passenger airbags depends on the position
of the driver's/front passenger seat.
To maintain the accuracy of this function,
calibrate the electrical front seats as soon
as the respective message appears on the
Interaction Unit.
Additional information:
Seats, refer to page 94.
Deactivating the front pass-
enger airbag automatically
