BMW X6: glass sunroof*, electric The glass sunroof is ready for operation when the ignition is switched on, refer to page 65.
To prevent injuries, exercise care when closing the glass sunroof and keep it in
your field of vision until it is closed. Always take along the remote control when you leave the vehicle, otherwise children could, for example, operate the roof and injure them- selves.<
Raising Press the switch. The closed glass sunroof is raised and the slid- ing visor opens slightly.
Do not use force to close the sliding visor with the glass sunroof in its raised posi-
tion, otherwise the mechanism will be dam- aged.<
Opening, closing > Slide the switch back to the resistance
point. The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open together as long as you continue to hold the switch in this position.
> Briefly press the switch back beyond the
resistance point. The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open automatically. Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
You can close the glass sunroof in a similar manner by sliding the switch forward. The slid- ing visor remains open and can be closed by hand.
For information on using convenience opera- tion with the remote control or at the door lock, refer to page 30 or 32. For information on convenience closing with comfort access, refer to page 40.
Automatic opening and closing Briefly press the switch beyond the resistance point. The following movements are also automatic: > With the sunroof open, press the switch:
The sunroof is opened all the way.
> With the sunroof raised, briefly press the
switch in the opening direction: the sunroof is opened all the way.
Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
Comfort position In the comfort position, the sunroof is not com- pletely open; this reduces wind noise in the passenger compartment. Each time the glass sunroof is opened or closed all the way, it stops in the comfort position. If you wish, you can continue the motion by actu- ating the switch.
After switching off ignition You can still operate the roof for approx. 1 minute, as long as no door has been opened.
Pinch protection system If the glass sunroof meets with resistance from about the middle of the roof opening when clos- ing or when lowering from the raised position, the closing process is interrupted and the glass sunroof opens all the way.
Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the sunroof's travel path prior to
closing it, as the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof would con- tinue closing.<
45
Closing without pinch protection system When there is danger outside the vehicle, pro- ceed as follows: 1. Slide the switch forward past the resistance point and hold it there. The pinch protection system is limited and the sunroof opens slightly if the closing force exceeds a certain value.
2. Within about 4 seconds, slide the switch
forward again beyond the resistance point and hold it there. The roof closes without the pinch protection system.
Following interruptions in electrical power supply After a power loss, the sunroof may only respond to the raise command. Then have the system initialized. BMW recommends having this work carried out by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
Moving manually* In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can move the sunroof manually: 1. Remove trim piece. To do so, gently lift the corner of the trim piece with a screwdriver.
2. Using the screwdriver, press in the clamps one after the other, arrows 1, tilt the cover panel down, arrow 2, and remove.
3. Release and disconnect the motor plug.
This significantly reduces the effort required for the manual movement.
4. Take the Allen wrench* from its bracket in the onboard tool kit, refer to page 269, and insert it into the opening provided. Move the glass sunroof in the desired direction.
5. Reconnect the plug.

Adjusting
Sitting safely The ideal sitting position can make a vital con- tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In the interaction with the safety belts, the head restraints and the airbags, the seat position plays an important role in an accident. To ensure that the safety systems operate with optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to observe the instructions contained in the fol- lowing section. For additional information on transporting chil- dren safely, refer to page 61.
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance between yourself and the airbags. Always hold the steering wheel by its rim with hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, to mini- mize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms in the event of airbag deployment. 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 and does not rest feet or legs on the instrument cluster, otherwise leg injuries can occur if the front airbag is triggered. Make sure that occupants do not rest their head on the side or head airbag, otherwise injuries can occur if the airbags are triggered.< Even if you adhere to all the instructions, inju- ries 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 105.
48
Head restraint 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 approx. at ear level. Otherwise there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an accident.< BMW X5: push the head restraints of the 3rd row seats* into the top position. Head restraints, refer to page 52.
Safety belts Before every drive, make sure that safety belts are being worn at all of the occupied seats. Air- bags complement the safety belt as an addi- tional safety device, but they do not represent a substitute. BMW X5: depending on its equipment, your vehicle has either five or seven seats, which are all provided 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 lies low around the hips in the lap area and does not press on the abdomen. The safety belt may not lie across the neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed over solid or breakable objects or be pinched. Wear the safety belt without twisting, snugly across the lap and shoulders, as close to the body as pos- sible. Otherwise the belt can slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal impact and injure the abdomen. Avoid wearing clothing that prevents the belt from fitting properly and pull the belt in the upper body area periodically to readjust the tension, in order to avoid a reduction in the restraint of the safety belt. If the center safety belt in the rear is used, the larger backrest half must be locked, refer to page 132, otherwise the center safety belt has no restraining action.< Safety belts, refer to page 54.
Seats
Thigh support*
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust or calibrate 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. Never adjust manually adjustable seats while the vehicle is moving, as otherwise the restrain- ing effect of these seats during accidents could be reduced. Also on the passenger side, do not incline the backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is being driven, otherwise there is a danger in the event of an accident of sliding under the safety belt, eliminating the protection normally pro- vided by the belt.< Also observe the information on damage to safety belts on page 55 and on the height of the head restraints on page 52.
Adjusting manually*
To ensure that the safety systems con- tinue to provide optimized protection,
observe the adjustment instructions on page 48.<

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 approx. at ear level. Otherwise there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an accident. Only remove the head restraints if the respective seat is not occupied. Reinstall the head restraints before transporting passen- gers, 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. Have this work carried out only at a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center or at a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with cor- respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, correct operation of this safety equipment is not guaranteed.<
Removal and installation of the front head restraints should be performed by a BMW
Sports Activity Vehicle Center.<

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 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 on the 2nd row seats in child restraint devices 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 device can no longer be used due to their age, weight and size.
Exception for front passenger seat Should it be necessary to use a child restraint device on the front passenger seat, the front and side airbags on the passen- ger side must be deactivated. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury for the child if the airbags are triggered, even with a child restraint device.< For more information on automatic deactivation of the front passenger airbags, refer to page 106.
Installing child restraint devices
Follow the child restraint device manufac- turer's instructions for selection, installa- tion, and use of child restraint devices. Other- wise, the degree of protection may be reduced.<
BMW X5: for equipment with 3rd row seats*, make sure that the seat of the 2nd
row seats on which the child restraint device is mounted is properly locked. Otherwise there is an increased risk of injury for the child in an accident. Do not mount child restraint devices on the 3rd row seats, as otherwise the protection pro- vided by these child restraint devices may be reduced.<
On front passenger seat
After mounting a child restraint device on the front passenger seat, make sure that the front and side airbags on the front passen- ger side are deactivated; otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury if the airbags are trig- gered.<
Backrest width*
The backrest width adjustment of the front passenger seat must be completely open. After installing the child's seat, no mem- ory position may be called up; otherwise, the stability of the child's seat on the front passen- ger seat is reduced.< 1. Open backrest width adjustment com-
pletely, refer to page 50. Install child's seat.

LATCH child restraint fixing system LATCH: Lower Anchor and Tethers for CHil- dren.
Follow the system manufacturer's instructions on installation and use of
LATCH child restraint devices; otherwise, their protective function may be reduced.< Before attaching the child's seat, pull the belt away from the region of the child restraint fixing system.
BMW X5: before installing the child's seat, remove the covers* from the
mounts for the LATCH anchor fittings, as other- wise the LATCH anchor fittings have no restraining effect.<
Make sure that the LATCH mounts have properly clicked into place and that the child restraint device is resting snugly against the backrest. Otherwise, the protective action may be reduced.<
The mounts for the LATCH anchors are located at the points indicated by the arrows.
Child restraint device with tether strap Only use the top tether mounting points to secure child restraint devices, other- wise the mounting points could be damaged. Do not mount child restraint devices on the 3rd row seats in the BMW X5; otherwise the protection provided by these child restraint devices may be reduced.<
