Safety belt memory for driver's seat
and passenger seat*
The indicator lamp lights up, a signal
sounds, and a message appears on the
display. Please check whether safety
belts are correctly placed.
The safety belt memory is operative at speeds
above approx. 5 mph/8 km/h. It can also be acti-
vated if objects are placed onto the passenger
seat.
Releasing
1. Grasp the belt firmly.
2. Press the red button in the buckle.
3. Guide the belt into its reel.
The shoulder strap's anchorage point will be in
the correct position for adult seat occupants of
every build if the seat is correctly adjusted, refer
to page 38.
The two rear safety belt buckles integrated into
the rear seat are for passengers sitting on the
left and right. The belt buckle embossed with
the word CENTER is intended exclusively for
use by passengers riding in the center position.
Damage to safety belts
If the safety belts are damaged or
stretched in an accident: Have the entire
belt system, including the tensioning mecha-
nisms, replaced at your BMW center or at a
workshop that works according to BMW repair
procedures with correspondingly trained per-
sonnel. Have the belt anchorage points
inspected for damage at the same time. Failure
to observe this precaution may prevent the
safety belts from effectively providing optimal
protection when needed.<
Heated seats*

The temperature setting progresses one step

ture is selected, three LEDs light up.
