INFORMATION
This bulletin is intended to address customer questions you may receive regarding operation of the Passenger Airbag Status Lamp, once the customer has consulted the Owner's Manual.
The Passenger Airbag Status Lamp is installed to meet a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulation and, except for in the Z4, is located in the headliner near the interior light (the E60 installation is shown in the illustration). On the Z4, the status lamp is located on the center console.
The Passenger Airbag Status Lamp illuminates to show that the front passenger airbag is OFF (not active).
