WARNING!
The front seats are equipped
with pyrotechnic seat belt
tensioners. These tensioners are
powerful devices and should be
handled with extreme care.
Incorrect handling can trigger
off the tensioner and cause
injury.
BMW recommends that all repair
or replacement work on
pyrotechnic devices must be
carried out by a qualified BMW
technician.
Be sure to disconnect the
battery and wait 5 seconds
before attempting to work on
pyrotechnic devices.
Pyrotechnic devices cannot be
repaired. Always replace them.
Never treat pyrotechnic
components with cleaning
agents or grease.
