Carrying children in safety

Important considerations

Do not leave children unattended in the

car, as they could otherwise endanger

themselves and/or other persons by opening

the doors, for example.<

All the seats in your BMW, except for the

driver's seat, are in principle suitable for the

installation of universal child restraint systems

for all age groups, provided these have been

approved for the age group in question.

Always carry children at the rear

Accident research has shown that the safest

place for children is on the rear seat.

Children under 12 or smaller than

150cm, approx. 5ft, should always travel

at the rear using suitable child restraint sys-

tems, otherwise there is a greater risk of injury

in the event of an accident.<

Exception for the front passenger's

seat

If you nevertheless need to fit a child

restraint system on the front passenger's

seat, the front and side airbags on the front pas-

senger's side must be deactivated, otherwise a

child travelling on that seat will be at considera-

ble risk of injury if the airbags are triggered,

even if it is wearing a child restraint system. <

Fitting child restraint

systems

BMW Service can supply suitable child restraint

systems for every age and weight category.

When selecting, installing and using child

restraint systems, observe the manufac-

turer's instructions, otherwise the protective

effect could be impaired.

Following an accident, have all components of

the child restraint system and the seat belt that

was used to secure it checked by BMW Service

and renewed if necessary. Always have this

work performed either by BMW Service or by a

workshop that operates to BMW specifications

and has suitably trained personnel.<

On the front passenger's seat

Before fitting a child restraint system on

the front passenger's seat, make sure

that the front and side airbags on the front pas-

senger side have been deactivated, otherwise

the child travelling on that seat will be at consid-

erable risk of injury if the airbags are triggered.<

Seat height

Before fitting a child restraint system to the

front passenger's seat, move the seat up as far

as it will go for the best possible seat belt posi-

tion. Do not change this seat height any further.

Seat back width*

The seat back width adjustment feature

of the front passenger's seat must be fully

extended. Once the child seat has been fitted,

do not call up a memory position, otherwise the

stability of the child seat on the front passen-

ger's seat will be restricted.<

1. Extend the seat back width adjustment fea-

ture fully, see Adjusting Comfort seat at the

front on page 42.

2. Fit the child's seat.

ISOFIX child seat mountings

For details of how to install and use ISO-

FIX child restraint systems, please con-

sult the separate operating and safety instruc-

tions supplied by the system's manufacturer.<

If the car is equipped with electrically adjusted

rear seats, restore the rear seat to its basic posi-

tion before fitting ISOFIX child restraint sys-

tems, see page 43.
