Safety
The new BMW 1 Series comes as standard with the highest levels of active and
passive safety. Familiar systems from other BMW models such as ABS brakes, Dynamic
Stability Control, Dynamic Traction Control, Dynamic Brake Control and Cornering
Brake Control are all fitted as standard. BMW’s Tyre Puncture Warning
System is also fitted, alerting the driver to the possibility of a loss in pressure,
while the standard Run-flat tyres ensure the car can be driven safely for up
to 90 miles at up to 50mph, with all tyres punctured.
Another safety feature on the 1 Series is the recently introduced Brake Force
Display (BFD). Using a double segment of lights in the rear light cluster, BFD
increases the brake light illumination area as soon as the ABS system is activated
or the car detects a rapid deceleration. The extra illumination warns drivers
behind that the car is braking sharply.
Should the worst happen and an accident occurs, sensors in the Advanced Safety
Electronics system cut the fuel pump and alternator, and the battery is deactivated
to minimise the risk of fire. Six airbags are standard in the 1 Series with
the two front airbags intelligent, dual-stage versions that inflate in speed
and size depending on the severity of the accident and work in conjunction with
the active seatbelt tensioners. Front side airbags are located in the side of
the front seat and AHPS head airbag system protects both front and rear passengers.
To protect the smaller passengers, two ISOFIX child seat restraints in the rear
are available across the 1 Series range, and can include front seat fixings
and passenger airbag deactivation.
