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.<
In principle, all seats in your BMW are suitable,
with the exception of the driver's seat, for
mounting universal child restraint systems for
all age classes approved for the respective age
group.
Children always in back
Accident research shows that the safest place
for children is in the back.
Children younger than 13 years of age or
under 5 ft/150 cm in height must be trans-
ported in back, seated 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,
size and weight.
All rear seat positions in your vehicle comply
with the recommendations of the standard
SAE J1819 for the safe securing of child
restraint systems in motor vehicles.
Exception for front passenger seat
Should it be necessary to use a child-
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, the front, knee and side airbag on the pas-
senger 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 center will be glad
to advise you.<
For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags, refer to page91.
Installing child-restraint
systems
Follow child-restraint system manufac-
turer's instructions for the selection,
installation and use of child restraint systems.
Otherwise the degree of protection they offer
may be reduced.<
Commercially available child restraint systems
are designed to be secured with a lap belt or
with the lap belt section of a three-point belt.
Incorrectly or improperly installed child restraint
systems can increase the risk of injury for chil-
dren. Always follow the instructions for install-
ing the system exactly.
On front passenger seat
Before installing a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat, make sure
that the front, knee and side airbag on the front
passenger side are deactivated. Otherwise
there is an increased risk of injury if the airbags
are triggered.<
Seat height
Before mounting a universal child-restraint sys-
tem, move the front passenger seat into the
highest position to achieve the best possible
belt routing. Do not change this seat height.
Child seat security
All rear safety belts and the safety belt for the
front passenger can be locked against pulling
out to secure child restraint systems.

Active steering*
The concept
The active steering is a system that actively var-
ies the steering angle of the front wheels in rela-
tion to the steering wheel movements.
At low speeds, e.g. in a town or when parking,
the steering angle of the wheels is increased,
i.e. the steering becomes very direct.
In the higher speed range, on the other hand,
the steering angle is reduced more and more.
This improves the handling capability of your
BMW over the entire speed range.
In critical situations, the system can make tar-
geted corrections to the steering angle pro-
vided by the driver and thus stabilize the vehicle
before the driver intervenes. This stability-pro-
moting intervention is deactivated when DSC is
switched off, refer to page86.
Malfunction
The warning lamp lights up and a mes-
sage appears on the Control Display. The active steering is no longer operational. At
low speed, larger steering wheel movements
are required, while the vehicle reacts more sen-
sitively to steering wheel movements in the
higher road speed range. The stability-promot-
ing intervention can also be deactivated. Pro-
ceed cautiously and drive defensively. Have the
system checked.
