Transporting children safely

Commercially available child-restraint
systems are designed to be secured
with a lap belt or with the lap belt por-
tion of a combination lap/shoulder belt.
Improperly or inadequately installed
restraint systems can increase the risk
of injury to children. Always read and
follow the instructions that come with
the system.

Correct location for installing

In your BMW, all seats equipped with a
three-point safety belt – except for the
driver's seat – are suitable for installing
universal child-restraint systems of all
age classes and which have been
approved for the age group in question.

Child-restraint system with
tether strap

If you use a child-restraint system with
a tether strap, three additional tether
anchorage points have been provided.

To gain access to this anchor fitting lift
the plastic plug with the help of a
screwdriver.

Depending on the location selected for
seating in the rear passenger area,
attach the tether strap to the corre-
sponding anchorage point to secure the
child-restraint system, as shown in the
illustration.

If the respective seating position is fit-
ted with a head restraint lift the head
restraint and pass the tether strap
between the head restraint and the seat
back.

It is recommended to readjust the head
restraint in the lowest possible position.

Adjust the tether strap according to the
child-restraint manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
