Fasten your safety belt before begin-

ning to drive.

To fasten: Make sure you hear the lock

engage in the belt buckle.

To release: Press the red button in the

buckle. Hold the belt and guide it back

into its reel.

The shoulder belt anchor automatically

adjusts to continue providing an opti-

mum fit when you move the seat for-

ward or back.

The two rear safety belt buckles which

are integrated in the rear seat are for

passengers sitting on the left and right.

The belt buckle with the word

"CENTER" is intended exclusively for

passengers sitting in the middle.

For your safety, comply with the

following instructions for wearing

safety belts. If you do not, the safety

belts may not be able to provide their

maximum protection. All passengers in

the vehicle should be aware of and

comply with this information:

Never allow more than one person to

wear a single safety belt. Never allow

infants or small children to ride in a pas-

senger's lap.

Avoid twisting the belt while routing it

firmly across the hips and shoulder. Do

not allow the belt to rest against hard or

fragile objects in your pockets. Never

route the belt across your neck, do not

run it across sharp edges. Be sure that

the belt does not become caught or

jammed.

Wear the safety belt as firmly as possi-

ble against your body. You should avoid

wearing bulky clothing that prevents it

from doing so. Pull the belt periodically

to re-tension it across your shoulder. In

the event of a frontal impact, a loose lap

belt could slide over your hips, leading

to abdominal injury. In addition, the

safety belt's restraint effectiveness is

reduced if the belt is worn loosely.

Expectant mothers should always wear

their safety belts, taking care to position

the lap belt against the lower hips,

where it will not exert pressure against

the abdominal area.<

For care instructions, refer to page 159.

*: Please comply with the

instructions for the center safety belt on

page 112.

sport wagon: If the center safety belt

cannot be pulled out, the larger rear

backrest section is not engaged. Refer

to page 116.<

If the safety belt system has been

subjected to the stresses involved

in an accident or otherwise damaged:

Have the entire safety belt mechanism

replaced by your BMW center, includ-

ing the safety belt tensioner. In addition,

have your BMW center inspect the

safety belt anchors. If a child restraint

system was in the vehicle during an ac-

cident, consult the manufacturer's in-

structions regarding replacement.c

Child restraint systems*

Never install a rear-facing child

restraint device on the front pas-

senger seat. Otherwise, injuries could

occur when the airbag is triggered in

the event of an accident. Children

should always ride in the rear.

Do not attempt to modify child restraint

systems. If you do this, the protection

provided by these systems could be im-

paired.<
