Installing child-restraint systems
Before installing any child-restraint sys-
tem or child seat, read the following:
Should it become necessary to
use a child-restraint system on the
front passenger seat, the airbags on the
passenger's side must be deactivated.
Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle cen-
ter will be happy to advise you on this
subject.<
Observe the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions for
installation and use. Otherwise the
degree of protection can be reduced.
After an accident, have all parts of the
child-restraint system and of the rele-
vant vehicle safety belt system checked
by a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle cen-
ter and replaced if necessary.<
Never install a rearward-facing
child-restraint system in the front
passenger seat of this vehicle if the
passenger airbag is not deactivated. If
you do so, the child could be severely
injured or killed when the airbag is trig-
gered. Your vehicle is equipped with an
airbag supplemental restraint system
for the front passenger. Because the
backrest on any rearward-facing child-
restraint system – of the kind designed
for infants under 1 year and 20 Ibs./9 kg
– would be within the airbag's deploy-
ment range, you should never mount
such a system in the front passenger
seat, since the impact of the airbag
against the child restraint's backrest
could lead to serious or fatal injuries.<
Child-restraint system security
Commercially-available child-restraint
systems are designed to be secured
with a lap belt or with the lap belt por-
All of the rear belt retractors and the
front passenger's safety belt can be
locked for mounting and securing child-
tion of a combination lap/shoulder belt. restraint systems.
Improperly or inadequately installed
restraint systems can increase the risk
of injury to children. Always read and
follow the instructions that come with
the system.
Information regarding this is located
near the buckle latch of each safety
belt.
Locking safety belt
Pull the entire length of the belt from
the belt retractor. Allow the reel to
retract the belt somewhat and engage
the buckle, then tighten the belt against
the child-restraint system. The retrac-
tion mechanism is now locked.
