If the safety belt system has been
subjected to the stresses in-

volved in an accident or otherwise
damaged: Have the entire safety belt
mechanism replaced by your BMW
center, including the safety belt ten-
sioner. In addition, have your BMW
center inspect the safety belt anchors.
If a child restraint system was in the ve-
hicle during an accident, consult the
manufacturer's instructions regarding
replacement.

Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint device on the front passen-

ger seat. Injuries could occur if the air-
bag is triggered in the event of an
accident.
Children should always ride in the rear.
Do not modify the child restraint system
in any way. If you do so, it will not pro-
vide your child with maximum protec-
tion.
