X Series E83 X3 3.0d (M57T2) OFFRD
•
Side impact
The side impact must be severe enough for the triggering threshold in the MRS control unit to be exceeded.
The side airbag and the head airbag are deployed on the side affected. The safety battery terminal is also
triggered.
The electric fuel pump is switched off. An automatic emergency call is initiated (only in vehicles with the
relevant equipment fitted).
•
Front diagonal impact
The airbags and belt tensioners are triggered depending on the impact speed and the angle of the impact.
If several triggering thresholds are exceeded (e.g. the triggering thresholds for a head-on collision and a
side collision), the corresponding restraint systems for head-on and side collisions are triggered.
•
Rear-end collision
The belt tensioners and the safety battery terminal are triggered if the rear-end collision is so severe that
the triggering threshold of the MRS control unit is exceeded. An automatic emergency call is initiated (only
in vehicles with the relevant equipment fitted).
•
Rollover
The MRS control unit does not detect the vehicle rolling over. If there is a collision after the vehicle has
rolled and the triggering thresholds are exceeded for a head-on and side collision, the relevant restraint
systems are triggered.
The electric fuel pump is switched off.
An automatic emergency call is initiated (only in vehicles with the relevant equipment fitted).
Emergency call (EURO version)
In vehicles equipped with BMW Assist, the multiple restraint system (MRS) has an additional function: the
automatic emergency call
If at least one airbag is triggered in the event of an accident, BMW Assist automatically initiates an emergency
call. The vehicle data and its exact location, which is determined by the GPS navigation system, are transmitted
to the emergency call centre.
Emergency call (US version)
All vehicles have the emergency control function as follows:
•
Telematic control unit (TCU)
•
Telephone aerial
•
Hands-free device
•
GPS aerial for location determination
The E83 has the following types of emergency call as standard:
•
Manual emergency call
The emergency call button is directly connected to the telephone. Pressing the emergency call button
establishes a voice connection with the provider. The voice connection is indicated by a flashing LED in the
emergency call button.
The emergency call button is integrated into the control panel in the overhead console.
•
Automatic emergency call:
If the accident is of corresponding severity, the MRS control unit sends a signal to the Telematics Control
Unit (TCU). The TCU initiates an emergency call which also contains the location of the vehicle. The TCU
receives the location determination for the navigation system. If a navigation system has not been installed,
