airbag
The layout of the switches and indicator lamps
may vary depending on the car's equipment.

passenger's airbags have been deactivated.

Fitting child restraint
systems
BMW Service can supply suitable child restraint
systems for every age and weight category.
When selecting, installing and using child
restraint systems, observe the manufac-
turer's instructions, as the protective effect
could otherwise be impaired.
Following an accident, have all components of
the child restraint system and the seat belt that
was used to secure it checked and renewed if
necessary. Always have this work performed
either by BMW Service or by a workshop that
operates to BMW specifications and has suita-
bly trained personnel.
<
Touring: comply with the notes on seat
belts on page
42 , or there may be a risk to
your personal safety. <
On the front passenger's seat
Before fitting a child restraint system on
the front passenger's seat, make sure
that the front and side airbags on the front pas-
senger side have been deactivated, otherwise
the child travelling on that seat will be at consid-
erable risk of injury if the airbags are triggered.
<
Seat height
Before fitting a universal child restraint system
to the front passenger seat, move the seat up as
far as it will go in order to achieve optimal place-
ment of the seat belt. Do not adjust the height of
the seat with the child restraint system fitted.
Backrest width*
The backrest width adjustment feature of
the front passenger's seat must be fully
extended. Once the child seat has been fitted,
no memory positions may be called up and
active backrest width adjustment must be
deactivated in order not to restrict the stability
of the child seat on the front passenger's seat.
<
1. After unlocking the car, sit on the front pas-
senger's seat and close the door in order to
call up the memory position.
2. Open the backrest adjustment fully, see
page
44 .
3. Deactivate active backrest adjustment, see
page
44 .
4. Fit the child seat.

For details of how to install the ISOFIX
child seat, please consult the separate
operating and safety instructions supplied by
the seat's manufacturer.

Saloon: rear seats
The ISOFIX child seat mountings are located
behind the positions marked by arrows.
Before fitting the ISOFIX child seat, pull the belt
away from the area around the mountings.
