Active front head restraints

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 or head restraint covers. Reduced protective function
▷ Do not use seat or head restraint covers.
▷ Do not hang objects, e.g., clothes hangers, directly on the head restraints.
▷ Only attach accessories approved by BMW to the seat or head restraint.

Otherwise, the protective function of the active head restraint will be impaired and the personal safety of the occupants will be endangered.

Have the active head restraints reset after they are triggered in a rear-end collision. Have this work performed by the service center only; otherwise, this safety feature with not be operational.◀

Please contact the service center if the front head restraints need to be removed or installed.
