Transporting children safely
The right place for children
Installing child-restraint
systems
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, otherwise they could endanger
themselves and/or other persons by opening
the doors, for example.<
Observe the child-restraint system man-
ufacturer's instructions for selecting,
installing and using child-restraint systems.
Otherwise the protective effect may be dimin-
ished.<
The rear center seat is not suitable for installing
universal child-restraint systems for all age
groups, approved for the age group in question.
Standard child-restraint systems are designed
to be secured with a lap belt or with the lap-belt
section of a lap-and-shoulder belt. Incorrectly
or improperly installed child-restraint systems
can increase the risk of injury to children.
Always follow the installation instructions for
the system with the greatest care.
Children always in the rear
Accident research has shown that the safest
place for children is on the rear seats.
Children under the age of 13 or smaller
than 5 ft/150 cm may be transported only
in the rear in suitable child-restraint systems
appropriate for their age, weight and size. Oth-
erwise there is an increased risk of injury in the
event of an accident.<
On the front passenger's seat
Before installing a child-restraint system
on the front passenger's seat, make sure
that the front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger are deactivated, otherwise there is an
increased risk of injury if the airbags deploy.<
Children 13 years of age or older must be buck-
led in with a safety belt as soon as there no
longer is any child-restraint system that is
appropriate for their age, size and weight.
Seat height
All rear seats in your vehicle meet the recom-
mendations of the SAE J1819 standard for
safely mounting child-restraint systems in
motor vehicles.
Before installing a universal child-restraint sys-
tem, move the front passenger's seat up as far
as it will go to ensure that the safety belt will be
ideally positioned. Do not change the seat
height afterward.
Exception for front passenger seat
Should it be necessary to use a child-
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, the front and side airbags must be deacti-
vated. Otherwise, a child traveling on that seat
will be at an increased risk of injury if the airbags
are triggered off, even with a child-restraint sys-
tem. Your BMW Center will be glad to advise
you.<
Backrest width
The backrest width of the front passenger
seat must be adjusted to its widest set-
ting, otherwise the stability of the child seat on
the front passenger seat is limited.<
1.
Adjust the backrest width to its widest set-
ting, refer to page 42.
For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags refer to page 91.
2.
Install the child seat.
