Head restraints A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of spinal injury in the event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint so that its center is approximately at ear level. Otherwise there is increased danger of injury in the event of an accident. Only remove the head restraints if no one will be sitting on the seat in question. Reinstall the head restraints before transport- ing passengers, as otherwise the head restraint cannot provide its protective function.<
Active front head restraints In the event of a rear-end collision of sufficient severity, the active head restraint reduces the distance to the head.
Do not use seat covers or head restraint covers that could impede the proper
functioning of the active head restraint. Other- wise, there is no assurance that the active head restraint will perform its protective function and it is not possible to take advantage of its injury- reducing potential in the event of a rear-end collision. Have the active head restraints reset after they are triggered in a rear-end collision. Only have this work carried out by a BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained per- sonnel. Otherwise, this safety equipment will not function properly.<
Please contact a BMW center if you wish to have the front head restraints removed
and installed.<

Transporting children safely
The right place for children
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, otherwise they could endanger
themselves and other persons, e.g., by opening the doors.<
Children always in the rear Accident research shows that the safest place for children is on the rear seat.
Children younger than 13 years of age or with a height under 5 ft/150 cm may only be transported in the rear in child restraint sys- tems which correspond to the age, weight and height of the child. Otherwise there is an increased danger of injury in an accident.< Children 13 years of age or older must wear a safety belt as soon as a suitable child restraint system can no longer be used due to their age, size and weight.
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 deployed, even with a child restraint system. Before installing a child restraint system, move the front passenger seat as far back and up as possible to obtain the best possible position for the belt. Do not change the seat position after this.< For more information on automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags, refer to page 94.
Installing child restraint systems
Observe the child restraint system manu- facturer's instructions for selection,
installation and use of the child restraint sys-
tems. Otherwise the degree of protection may be reduced.<
On front passenger seat
After mounting a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, make sure that the front and side airbags on the front passen- ger side are deactivated, as otherwise there is an increased risk of injury if the airbags are trig- gered.<
Seat position Before installing a child restraint system, move the front passenger seat as far back and up as possible to obtain the best possible position for the belt. Do not change the seat position after this.
Backrest width* on front passenger seat
Open the backrest width setting of the front passenger seat all the way. After
mounting the child seat, deactivate the active backrest width adjustment and do not call up any memory position. Otherwise this limits the stability of the child seat on the front passenger seat.< 1. After unlocking the vehicle, sit on the front passenger seat and close the door to call up the memory position.
2. Completely open the backrest width adjust-
ment, refer to page 44.
3. Deactivate active backrest width adjust-
ment, refer to page 45. Install child seat.
