Safety belt height adjustment
You can adjust the front and rear safety
belts to fit each passenger correctly
with the safety belt height adjustment.
Press the button up or down as
required.
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. The following
information also applies to your
passengers: never allow more than one
person to wear a single safety belt.
Never allow infants or small children to
ride in a passenger's lap. Avoid twisting
the belt while routing it firmly across the
pelvis and shoulder, wear it as snugly
against your body as possible. 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 and ensure
that the belt does not become caught
or jammed. Avoid wearing bulky
clothing and pull on the belt periodically
to retension it over 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.<
If the center safety belt cannot be
pulled out, the larger rear backrest
section is not engaged. Refer to
page 124.<
If the safety belt system has
been subjected to the stresses
involved in an accident or otherwise
damaged: have the entire safety belt
system replaced by your BMW center,
including the safety belt tensioner.
Have the safety belt anchors checked
also.c
