they do not represent a substitute.

erly, refer to page 32.

Fasten safety belts reminder for driver
and passenger*
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 fas-
tened. In some country-specific versions, the
'Fasten safety belts' reminder is also activated
at road speeds above approx. 5 mph or 8 km/h if
the passenger's safety belt is not fastened, if
objects are placed on the passenger seat, or if
driver or 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 or child-
restraint systems, 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 cor-
respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, it is
not guaranteed that the safety devices will func-
tion properly.<
Mirrors

Exterior mirrors

The 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.<
