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 the 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 systems 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 
system 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 system 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 
system. Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle 
Center will be happy to advise you.

Installing child restraint 
systems
Observe the child restraint system manu-
facturer's instructions for selection, 
installation and use of the child restraint sys-
tems. Otherwise the degree of protection may 
be reduced.
<
For equipment with 3rd row seats
*
, make 
sure that the seat of the 2nd row seats on 
which the child restraint system is mounted is 
properly locked. Otherwise there is an 
increased risk of injury for the child in an acci-
dent.
Do not mount child restraint systems on the 
3rd row seats, as otherwise the protection pro-
vided by these child restraint systems may be 
reduced.
<
On the front passenger seat
After installing a child restraint system on 
the front passenger seat, make sure that 
the front and side airbags on the front passen-
ger side have been deactivated. Otherwise, 
there is an increased risk of injury when the air-
bags are triggered.
<
Backrest width* on front passenger 
seat
The backrest width adjustment of the 
front passenger seat must be completely 
open, as otherwise the child's seat cannot com-
pletely contact the backrest. After the child's 
seat is installed, do not request any memory 
position, as otherwise there is the risk of 
injury.
