TO US, SAFETY MEANS BEING PREPARED
FOR THE UNEXPECTED.
Traffi c is unpredictable. But there is a way to prepare for the unforeseen:
effective safety systems. In the BMW  Series Touring, the occupants are
surrounded by a very stiff, high-strength occupant cell made from multi-
phase steels. Specially designed crumple zones at the front and rear
absorb kinetic energy in a collision. In the event of an impact, the pedals
are immediately retracted in order to protect the driver’s legs. The driver
and front passenger seats benefi t from active headrests. Should the
BMW  Series Touring suffer a rear-end collision, the headrests will tilt
forward, minimising the risk of injury to the neck vertebrae. So if you and
your BMW ever were to be involved in an accident, these systems will
combine to provide maximum occupant protection. There are also six
airbags that help to prevent injuries. The head airbag is deployed across
the whole side of the vehicle, protecting the occupants from splinters in
the event of a lateral collision. You never know what is going to happen. But
if the worst should happen, then you will benefi t from the comprehensive
safety systems in the BMW  Series Touring.

Six airbags protect the car’s occupants in the event of
a crash. The front-to-rear head airbag covers the entire
side window area, providing optimum protection in a
lateral collision and preventing the ingress of splinters.
