Fasten your safety belt be<strong>for</strong>e starting<br />
off.<br />
To fasten: Make sure you hear <strong>the</strong> catch<br />
engage in <strong>the</strong> belt buckle.<br />
To release: Press <strong>the</strong> red button in <strong>the</strong><br />
buckle. Hold <strong>the</strong> belt and guide it back<br />
into its reel.<br />
The shoulder belt anchor automatically<br />
adjusts to continue providing an optimum<br />
fit when you move <strong>the</strong> seat <strong>for</strong>ward<br />
or back.<br />
For your safety, comply with <strong>the</strong><br />
following instructions <strong>for</strong> wearing<br />
safety belts. If you do not, <strong>the</strong> safety<br />
belts may not be able to provide <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
maximum protection. All passengers in<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>vehicle</strong> should be aware of and<br />
comply with this in<strong>for</strong>mation:<br />
Never allow more than one person to<br />
wear a single safety belt. Never allow<br />
infants or small children to ride in a passenger's<br />
lap.<br />
Avoid twisting <strong>the</strong> belt while routing it<br />
firmly across <strong>the</strong> hips and shoulder. Do<br />
not allow <strong>the</strong> belt to rest against hard or<br />
fragile objects in your pockets. Never<br />
route <strong>the</strong> belt across your neck, do not<br />
run it across sharp edges. Be sure that<br />
<strong>the</strong> belt does not become caught or<br />
jammed.<br />
Wear <strong>the</strong> safety belt as firmly as possible<br />
against your body at all times. For<br />
this reason, avoid wearing bulky clothing<br />
which will prevent proper belt fit.<br />
Pull <strong>the</strong> safety belt across your shoulders<br />
frequently to re-tension it. In <strong>the</strong><br />
event of a frontal impact, a loose lap<br />
belt could slide over your hips, leading<br />
to abdominal injury. In addition, <strong>the</strong><br />
safety belt's restraint effectiveness is<br />
reduced if <strong>the</strong> belt is worn loosely.<br />
Expectant mo<strong>the</strong>rs should always wear<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir safety belts, taking care to position<br />
<strong>the</strong> lap belt against <strong>the</strong> lower hips,<br />
where it will not exert pressure against<br />
<strong>the</strong> abdominal area.<<br />

next page.<br />
For care instructions, refer to page 154.<br />
If <strong>the</strong> safety belt system has been<br />
subjected to <strong>the</strong> stresses involved<br />
in an accident or damaged in any o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
way, have <strong>the</strong> belt system, including <strong>the</strong><br />
safety belt tensioner replaced by an authorized<br />
BMW center. Have <strong>the</strong> safety<br />
belt anchorages checked also.<<br />
Child restraint systems*<br />
Never install a rear-facing child restraint<br />
device on <strong>the</strong> front passenger<br />
seat. O<strong>the</strong>rwise, injuries could occur<br />
when <strong>the</strong> airbag is triggered in <strong>the</strong><br />
event of an accident. Children should<br />
always ride in <strong>the</strong> rear.<br />
Do not attempt to modify child restraint<br />
systems. If you do this, <strong>the</strong> protection<br />
provided by <strong>the</strong>se systems could be impaired.
