Active front head restraints
Front seats: adjusting distance from
back of head
In the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient
severity, the active head restraint reduces the
distance to the head.
Do not use seat covers or head restraint
covers that could impede the proper
functioning of the active head restraint. Other-
wise, there is no assurance that the active head
restraint will perform its protective function and
it is not possible to take advantage of its injury-
reducing potential in the event of a rear-end
collision.
Have the active head restraints reset after they
are triggered in a rear-end collision. Have this
work carried out only at a BMW Sports Activity
Vehicle Center or at a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise,
correct operation of this safety equipment is not
guaranteed.<
Press the button and pull the headrest cushion
forward or push it back.
Do not place any objects behind the
headrest cushion. Otherwise, you can
impair the proper function of the head
restraint.<
Comfort seat*
You can adjust the distance from the back of the
seat occupant's head using the shoulder sup-
port, refer to page 44.
Removal and installation of the front head
restraints should be performed by a BMW
Sports Activity Vehicle Center.<
Adjusting side extensions
Front seats: height adjustment
Adjust the head restraint so that its center is
approx. at ear level.
You can fold the side extensions on the head
restraint forward for increased lateral support in
the resting position.
You can adjust the height of the head restraints
electrically.
