Convenient access* Convenient access enables you to enter your vehicle without needing to hold the remote con- trol in your hand. All you need to do is wear the remote control close to your body, e.g. in your jacket pocket. The vehicle automatically detects the corresponding remote control within the immediate vicinity or in the passen- ger compartment. Convenient access supports the following functions: > Unlocking/locking the vehicle > Unlocking the luggage compartment lid/
tailgate separately
> Engine starting > Convenient closure
Functional requirement > The vehicle or the luggage compartment
lid/tailgate can only be locked when the vehicle detects that the remote control cur- rently in use is outside of the vehicle.
> The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.
> The engine can only be started when the
vehicle detects that the remote control cur- rently in use is inside the vehicle.

Adjustments
Sitting safely The ideal sitting position can make a vital con- tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In con- junction with the safety belts, the head restraints and the airbags, the seated position has a major influence on your safety in the event of an accident. To ensure that the safety sys- tems operate with optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to observe the instructions contained in the following section. For additional information on transporting chil- dren safely, refer to page 53.
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance between yourself and the airbags. Always
grip the steering wheel on the rim, with your hands in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to minimize the risk of injury to the hands or arms in the event of the airbag being triggered off. No one and nothing is to come between the air- bags and the seat occupant. Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the front passenger side as a storage area. Make sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly, e.g. not resting feet or legs on the dashboard, otherwise leg injuries can occur if the front air- bag is triggered. Make sure that passengers do not lean their heads against the side or head airbags, other- wise serious injuries could result if the airbags suddenly deployed.< Even if you follow all the instructions, injuries resulting from contact with airbags cannot be fully excluded, depending on the circum- stances. The ignition and inflation noise may provoke a mild hearing loss in extremely sensi- tive individuals. This effect is usually only tem- porary. For airbag locations and additional information on airbags, refer to page 95.
44
Head restraint A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of neck injury in the event of an accident. Adjust the head restraint in such a way that its center is at approx. ear level. Oth- erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.< Head restraints, refer to page 46.
Safety belt Before every drive, make sure that all occupants wear their safety belts. Airbags complement the safety belt as an additional safety device, but they do not represent a substitute. Your vehicle has five seats, each of which is equipped with a safety belt.
Never allow more than one person to wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride in a passenger's lap. Make sure that the belt in the lap area sits low across the hips and does not press against the abdomen. The safety belt must not rest against the throat, run across sharp edges, pass over hard or frag- ile objects or be pinched. Fasten the safety belt so that it sits as snugly as possible against the lap and shoulder without being twisted. Other- wise the belt could slide over your hips and injure your abdomen in the event of a frontal collision. Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly pull the belt in the upper-body area taut, otherwise its restraining effect could be impaired. Sports Wagon: if the rear center safety belt is used, the wider backrest must be locked in place, refer to page 115. Otherwise the safety belt will have no restraining effect.< Safety belts, refer to page 49.
Seats
Backrest
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement, and the ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident. On the front passenger seat as well, do not incline the backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is being driven, otherwise there is a dan- ger in the event of an accident of sliding under the safety belt, eliminating the protection nor- mally provided by the belt.< Comply with the instructions on head restraint height on page 46, and on damaged safety belts on page 50.
Manual adjustment
Observe the adjustment instructions on page 45 to ensure the best possible per-
sonal protection.<

Head restraints A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of neck injury in the event of an accident. Adjust the head restraint in such a way that its center is at approx. ear level. Oth- erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. Only remove a head restraint if no one will be sitting on the seat in question. Reinstall the head restraint before transporting anyone on that seat. Otherwise, the passenger will be without protection from the head restraint.<

Transporting children safely
Installing child-restraint systems
Observe the child-restraint system man- ufacturer's instructions when selecting,
installing and using child-restraint systems. Otherwise the protective effect may be dimin- ished.< 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.
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.<
Backrest width*
The backrest width of the front passen- ger's seat must be at its widest possible setting. Do not change the setting after install- ing the child seat. Otherwise the child seat's stability on the front passenger's seat is lim- ited.< 1. Adjust the backrest width to its widest set-
ting, refer to page 46. Install the child seat.
2.
The right place for children
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, otherwise they could endanger themselves and/or other persons by opening the doors, for example.< The rear center seat is not suitable for installing universal child-restraint systems for all age groups, approved for the age group in question.
Children always in the rear Accident research has shown that the safest place for children is on the rear seat.
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.< 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. The rear seats in your vehicle meet the recom- mendations of the SAE J1819 standard for safely mounting child-restraint systems in motor vehicles.
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 for the front pas- senger must be deactivated. Otherwise, a child traveling on that seat will face a significant risk of injury if the airbags are triggered off, even with a child-restraint system. Your BMW center will be glad to advise you.< For more information on automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags refer to page 95.
