BMW 2009 X6 xDrive50i Owner's Manual

 61

Do not leave children unattended in the 
vehicle, otherwise they could endanger 

themselves and other persons, e.g. by opening 
the doors.

<

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.

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

.

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.

<

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.

<

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.

The rear safety belts, in the BMW X5 all of the 
safety belts of the 2nd and 3rd

 row seats and 

the passenger safety belt can be locked to pre-
vent them from being pulled out in order to 
secure child restraint devices.
