Firing failure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M5, 2009 BMW M5, 2008 BMW M5, 2007 BMW M5, and 2006 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If correct firing is not possible, the relevant components must (while observing the safety regulations for handling airbag system components) be removed and disposed of by special disposal companies!
If a firing operation has failed:
- Disconnect the firing device from the battery and
- only approach the vehicle after a few minutes have elapsed
