BMW 7 Owners & Service Manuals

BMW 7 Series: Introduction

The front seating arrangement of the F01/F02 consists of the multi-function seat as standard equipment. The multi-function seat (Comfort Seat) features 16-way adjustment with 4-way lumbar support which includes the articulated upper backrest, adjustable backrest width, adjustable thigh support, and Active Head Restraints with adjustable side support.

The front seat also have memory settings for the driver and passenger seats.

An electropneumatic system is installed for lumbar support and the active seat. The advantage of electropneumatic lies in the fact that the overall weight of the seat is reduced.

The active seat is a part of the Luxury Seating package and features pneumatic control rather that the previous fluid based control system on the E65.

Seats
Fig. 91: Identifying Front Side Airbag

The front side airbag (1) is integrated into the backrest of the driver's and front passenger seat. The seat back extends into the seat side. This is known as "encompassing seat wall". When the airbag is triggered, the side is pushed a little. This allows the airbag to open and provide its protective function. The front seats are equipped with seat-occupancy recognition (passenger) and a belt tensioner.

In the F01/F02, the button for the passenger-assist function (gentleman function) is integrated into the armrest of the driver's door. After pressing the button, the driver is able to operate the front-passenger seat using his own seat adjustment buttons.

For example, this allows you to make more space, e.g. before someone gets in on the passenger's side.

The front seats are equipped with crash-active head restraints. In the memory seat, the head restraints have a button for adjusting the distance to your head.

In the multifunction seat, the distance is adjustable using the upper backrest adjustment.

Rear Seat Options

In the F01/F02, there are two seat models, the basic seat and the optional comfort (multifunction) seat. The rear comfort seat is part of the "Luxury Rear Seating" package which also includes the rear ventilated seats.

On the F02, there is also a "stand-alone" option for the massage function.

All seat equipment comes with the center armrest cup holder. There are two styles for the center armrest. See the following comparison.

The buttons for the rear seat heating are integrated into the center console.

Multifunction Seat

The optional massage function can be ordered additionally with the multifunction seat. The massage function is based on current medical knowledge and is integrated into the backrest.

The multifunction seat helps you to feel perfectly refreshed, for example with a back massage on a stressful day.

So that customers are provided with the best sense of well-being, they can select from two different massage intensity levels.

A new feature of the seat air conditioning function in the multifunction seat is that only two fan motors are installed for the ventilation. The fan motors draw in some fresh air from the rear footwell. The fresh air is then guided via air ducts through the multifunction seat until it reaches the backrest and seat surfaces. This helps to provide a pleasant air-temperature control for customers.
