with the letters CENTER is solely intended for
the center passenger.

'Fasten safety belts' reminder for front
seats
The indicator lamp comes on and an
acoustic signal sounds. Check
whether the safety belt has been fas-
tened correctly.The 'Fasten safety
belts' reminder is issued as long as the driver's
safety belt has not been fastened. 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 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, 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 correspondingly trained personnel. Other-
wise, it is not guaranteed that the safety devices
will function properly.<
Mirrors
Exterior mirrors
The front passenger's mirror is more convex
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; other-
wise there is an increased risk of an accident.<
