Child restraints*

All occupants and especially children

should be restrained whenever riding

in a motor vehicle.

Infants or small children should never

be held on the lap of a passenger.

Children should always sit in the rear

and, depending on age, use either a

child restraint system or the existing

safety belts. Accident statistics have

shown that children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear seats

than in the front seating positions.

Infants or toddlers should be secured

with a child restraint system appropri-

ate for their size.

Commercially available child seats

complying with the legal standard are

designed to be secured with a lap belt

or with the lap belt portion of a combi-

nation lap/shoulder belt.

Improperly or inadequately installed re-

straint systems can increase the risk of

injury to children. Always read and fol-

low the instructions that come with the

system.

If the child restraint of your choice re-

quires the use of a tether strap, three

fastening points (see arrows) have been

provided on the rear shelf for attach-

ment. Ask your BMW center to perform

the necessary work.

Before installing any child restraint

device or child seat, please read

the following:

Never install a rearward-facing child

restraint system in the front passenger

seat of this car.

Your car is equipped with an airbag

supplemental restraint system for the

front passenger. Because the backrest

on any rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem (of the kind designed for infants

under 1 year and 20 lbs.) would be

within the airbag's deployment range,

you should never mount such a device

in the front passenger seat, as the im-

pact of the airbag against the child re-

straint's backrest could lead to serious

or fatal injuries.

If it is necessary for a child (not an

infant) to ride in the front seat, certain

precautions should be taken. First,

move the passenger seat as far away

from the dashboard as possible. This

important precaution is intended to

maximize the distance between the air-

bag and the child. Older children should

be tightly secured with the safety belt.

Younger children should be secured in

an appropriate forward-facing child re-

straint system that has first been prop-

erly secured with a safety belt.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint

system in the front passenger seat.

We strongly urge you to carefully read

and comply with the instructions for in-

stallation and use provided by the child

restraint's manufacturer whenever you

use such a device.

Be sure that all occupants (of all ages)

remain properly and securely restrained

at all times.c

All rear seating positions in your vehicle

meet the recommendations of SAE

J1819, an industry recommended prac-

tice for securing child restraint systems

in motor vehicles.
