How do you reset the airbag light on a BMW X5?
Can you tell me how to reset the airbag light on my BMW X5? It’s been coming on every time I turn on my car and I’m not sure how to make it stop. I’m hoping that if I reset the light, it’ll fix the issue.

Resetting your airbag light is definitely a good first step! To reset the airbag light on your
BMW X5
, follow these instructions:- Turn on your car and make sure that the airbag light is on.
- Wait for seven seconds, then turn your car back off.
- Repeat this process two more times. Your airbag light should turn off.
If the airbag light comes on again, it’s a good idea to have someone check out your car for you. There could be a problem with the sensor or the airbag itself, as cars often have recalls relating to sensors. If an accident occurs, the airbag will keep both you and any passengers safe.
Airbag maintenance makes sure you’re prepared for an accident, but the
