Z Series E85 Z4 3.0i (N52) ROADST
> E64, E70, E93
The seat belt tensioner also triggers in the event of imminent rollover.
End fitting pretensioner
> E60, E61, E70 Europe version
The end fitting pretensioner prevents the driver's pelvis moving too far forward in the event a head-on or
rear-end collision. The end fitting pretensioner is installed in addition to the seat belt tensioner on the
driver's seat. In principle, the end fitting pretensioner functions in the same way as a seat belt tensioner.
Active head restraint
> E60, E61
> E70 from 09/2007
On triggering, the active head restraint locks the distance between the head restraint and head in order to
reduce the load on the cervical vertebrae during a rear-end collision.
(Reason: The distance between the head and head restraint can increase as the result of the individual
setting options of the comfort seat.)
The plunger extends when the inflator assembly in the backrest is triggered. The plunger operates the bolt
of the active head restraint. As a result, the head restraint is guided forward on a slide guide.
Safety battery terminal
Depending on the severity of the accident, the safety battery terminal disconnects the starter motor and the
alternator from the battery. This minimises the risk of electrical short-circuits in a serious accident.

Indicator lamp for front passenger's airbag deactivation
If the warning lamp for passenger-airbag deactivation (passenger airbag off lamp) is lit, the following airbags on
the passenger side have been deactivated: front-passenger airbag and side airbag.
The passenger airbag OFF lamp is constantly monitored by the crash safety module. A fault in the power supply
or a defective lamp is stored in the fault memory of the crash safety module. If this occurs, the airbag warning
lamp is switched on.
