Important safety notices
Do not remove the airbag restraint
system's gas generator. Testing
and servicing are to be performed only
by trained technicians. In the event of
the air bag restraint system malfunc-
tioning, being deactivated or triggered
(in response to an accident), consult an
BMW center only for the performance
of any removal and service operations.

Do not modify or tamper with either the
wiring or the individual components in
the airbag system. This includes the
padded steering wheel hub, the instru-
ment panel, the side trim panels of the
front or rear doors and the roof pillars or
the sides of the headliner. Never apply
adhesive materials to these compo-
nents or cover or modify them in any
way. Do not remove or dismantle the
steering wheel yourself. To ensure
compliance with official safety regula-
tions, have an BMW center dispose of
airbag generators. Unprofessional
attempts to service the system could
lead to failure in an emergency or
undesired airbag activation, either of
which could result in personal injury.<
Consult your BMW center regarding
special procedures if you intend to
store the vehicle for more than three
months.
