Safety Instructions - BMW System helmet 6 EVO Instruction Manual

Safety instructions

This helmet has been manufac-
tured from high-strength mater-
ials in accordance with the state
of the art. However, no helmet
can protect you against all pos-
sible injuries.
This BMW motorcycle helmet is
designed only for motorcycling
– it is not approved for use for
other purposes.
Helmet usage and environmental
influences give rise to a process
of ageing and wear and tear.
Consequently, BMW Motorrad
recommends replacing the hel-
met after five years.
If you are involved in a crash or if
the helmet is exposed to impact,
the helmet's ability to provide
its design-base level of protec-
tion is no longer ensured. The
helmet is designed to absorb
impact energy in the event of a
crash. Forces are absorbed via
complete or partial destruction of
the outer or inner helmet shell.
This damage can usually not be
detected by the observer. Con-
sequently, the helmet always has
to be replaced after a crash or
impact. For safety reasons, it is
important to render a damaged
helmet completely unwearable.
As high temperatures can lead to
damage, contact with hot com-
ponents (e.g., exhaust system,
engine) is to be avoided.
A hard worktop can dam-
age the surface of the hel-
met.
Use the assembly ring or a clean,
soft pad.
The helmet must always
be taken off such that it
cannot drop to the ground. Any
damage arising in such a way
is not covered by the warranty.
In the case of a repair it is best
to contact your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Increased risk of accidents
when riding in poor light
conditions (night, rain, etc.).
The sun visor shows a trans-
parency of approx. 20 %. Only
use the sun visor under optimum
light conditions.
