3.Allow the belt webbing to be pulled in com-
pletely.
LATCH child restraint fixing
system*
LATCH: Lower Anchor and Tethers for CHil-
dren.
For installation and use of LATCH child
restraint systems, follow the operating
and safety instructions of the system manufac-
turer.<
If the vehicle is equipped with power seats in
the rear, return these to their standard positions
before using LATCH child restraint systems,
refer to page45.
Before installing the LATCH child's seat, pull
the belt away from the region of the child
restraint fixing system.
Make sure that the LATCH anchors have
properly engaged and that the child
restraint system is resting snugly against the
backrest.<
Rear seats
The anchor points for the LATCH anchors are
provided at the locations indicated by the
arrows, in the gap between the bottom seat
cushion and backrest.
Installation guide
The installation guide makes it easier to install
the LATCH child restraint systems and at the
same time protects the surface of the seats.
The installation guide is available at your
BMW center. Always follow all instruc-
tions for operation and use provided by the
manufacturer in the installation guide.<
Firmly press the installation guide into the gap
between the upholstery on seat cushion and
backrest, continuing until the two funnel-
shaped guides snap into place in the LATCH
child restraint fixing system in the seat.
Pull the installation guide to remove.
Child restraint system with tether strap
The attachment points for the top tethers
are only intended for attachment of child
restraint systems; other uses can damage the
attachment points.<
There are three additional attachment points for
child restraint systems with a tether strap, refer
to arrows.

Routing of the tether strap
Make sure that the tether strap is not
routed over sharp edges and does not
twist on its way to the attachment point; other-
wise, the belt can fail to properly secure the
child restraint system in the event of an acci-
dent.<

During trips
If the vehicle is equipped with rear side
airbags, make sure that children riding in
the rear do not lean out of the child's seat
toward the door panels. Otherwise, injuries can
occur if the side airbags are triggered.<
Child-safety locks for rear doors
Slide down the safety levers on the rear doors:
The door can now be opened from the outside
only.
Safety switch for power windows and
rear seats
If the vehicle is equipped with power seats in
the rear, return these to their standard adjust-
ment setting before using a child restraint fixing
system, refer to page45.
When children are riding in the back, press the
safety switch for the power windows, refer to
page40.
This switch also disables the power rear seat
adjustment.
Incorrect or unsupervised adjustment of
the power seats in the rear could lead to
bodily injury or damage to the child restraint
system.<

Technology for comfort, convenience and safety
96 refer to page54.
In certain sitting positions, teenagers and adults
can deactivate the front, knee and side airbag
on the front passenger side; when this occurs,
the indicator lamp for the front passenger air-
bags lights up. In these cases, change the sit-
ting position so that the front passenger airbags
are activated and the indicator lamp goes out.
If the desired status cannot be produced by
changing the sitting position, have the person
ride in the back. Do not place slip covers, seat
cushions, beaded mats, or other objects on the
passenger seat that are not specifically recom-
mended by BMW. Do not lay objects under the
seat which could press against the seat from
below. Otherwise, a correct evaluation of the
occupied seat surface cannot be assured.<
Operating state of front passenger
airbags
The indicator lamp for the front passenger air-
bags indicates the operational status of the
front, knee and side airbag on the front passen-
ger side depending on whether the seat is
occupied. The indicator lamp shows whether
the front passenger airbags are activated or
deactivated.
>The indicator lamp lights up when a child
properly seated in a child restraint system
intended for the purpose is detected on the
seat.
Front, knee and side airbag on the front
passenger side are deactivated.
Most child seats are detected by the
system. It is particularly advisable to
use child seats approved by NHTSA at the
time that the vehicle was produced. After
installing a child's seat, make sure that the indicator light for the front passenger air-
bags is illuminated. This indicates that the
system has detected the child's seat and
has deactivated the front passenger air-
bags.<
>The indicator lamp does not light up when,
for example, a correctly seated person of
sufficient height is detected on the seat.
Front, knee and side airbag on the front
passenger side are activated.
>The indicator lamp does not light up when
the seat is empty.
The front, knee, and side airbags on the
front passenger side are not activated in
this case either.
Operational readiness of the airbag
system
Once the radio ready position is reached, the
warning lamp lights up briefly, thus indicating
the operational readiness of the entire airbag
system and the safety belt tensioners.
Airbag system malfunction
>Warning lamp does not light up from radio
ready state.
>Warning lamp lights up continuously.
Have the airbag system checked immedi-
ately in case of a malfunction; otherwise,
there is a danger that the airbag system may not
respond in the expected manner in an accident
despite an impact of corresponding intensity.<

ignition in radio ready state or higher.
The side window blind can not be
extended unless the side window is
closed. If the side window is open, the blind will
rise slightly prior to immediately retracting to its
original position.<
To avoid injuries, make sure that the clos-
ing region of the roller blind is clear.
Press the safety switch on the driver's door,
refer to page40. The LED must light up. This
precaution prevents children from operating
the sun blinds using the rear switches, etc.
When leaving the vehicle parked, remove the
remote control from the ignition lock and close
the doors; this precaution prevents children
from operating the roller sun blinds and injuring
themselves.<

The flashlight can remain plugged in continu-
ously. Remove the flashlight from the socket
when needed.

when it is inserted into its holder. Failure
to comply with this precaution could lead to
overcharging and damage.<

Luggage compartment
Net*
You can use the net to stow smaller objects
against the bulkhead separating the luggage
compartment from the rear seats.
Do not stow objects behind the side trim
panels on the left and right in the luggage
compartment; otherwise, this could cause over-
heating and damage to the electrical parts
inside.<

Things to remember when driving
124
Cargo loading
To avoid loading the tires beyond their
approved carrying capacity, never over-
load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over-
heating of the tires and increases the rate at
which damage develops inside them. The ulti-
mate result can come in the form of a sudden
blow-out.<
Determining loading limit
1.Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard
*:
The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX lbs. or YYY kg; otherwise, the vehicle
may be damaged and unstable driving con-
ditions may result.<
2.Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3.Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passenger from XXX lbs. or YYY kg.
4.The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five 150-lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs.:
1400 lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 650 lbs.
5.Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded into the vehicle.
This weight may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of
the load from your trailer will be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult the manual for
transporting a trailer to determine how this
may reduce the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of the vehicle.
Load
The permissible load is the total of the weight of
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the
weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage
can be transported.
Stowing cargo
>Place heavy cargo as far forward and as low
as possible, placing it directly behind the
bulkhead behind the rear seats.
>Cover sharp edges and corners.
>For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is
not occupied, secure each outside rear
safety belt in the opposite buckle.
