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 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 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.

Exception for front passenger seat

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 98.

Installing child restraint

devices

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.<

BMW X5: before mounting a child restraint

device in the center seat of the 2nd row seats,

move the outer seat cushions and backrests

into the rearmost positions.

On front passenger seat

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.<

Seat position

Before installing a child restraint device, move

the passenger seat into the furthest back and

highest

* position in order to achieve the best

possible safety belt position. Do not change the

seat position after this.

Backrest width*

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.<

1. Open backrest width adjustment com-

pletely, refer to page 45.

2. Install child's seat.
