Safety & assistance

Seat belt

Restrains an occupant in the intended seating position.

Where it sits

At each approved seating position.

How it works

Webbing, latch, anchor and retractor manage restraint forces with the vehicle’s other safety systems.

Think of it as

A load-carrying harness linking you to the seat and body.

Symptoms when it fails

Damage, poor retraction or a latch problem requires inspection.

Lifespan

Inspect and service using model-specific guidance, especially after a collision; warning lights require diagnosis.

Repair cost

Calibration, matched modules and post-collision work may dominate cost. An illuminated warning does not identify a replaceable part.

The BMW angle

BMW seat belts and airbags are designed as coordinated restraints, not interchangeable alternatives.

Used in

BMW safety systems according to market, model year and option package.
