Transporting children safely

Children on the passenger's

seat

Deactivating/reactivating passenger

airbags

The passenger airbags must be deac-

tivated before using a rear-facing

child-restraint system on the passenger

seat, refer also to page 34 for explanation.

BMW also recommends that the passenger

airbags be deactivated if a child is trans-

ported in a front-facing child-restraint sys-

tem, regardless of the age of the child. If

you transport a child in the passenger seat,

not an infant in a rear-facing seat, who is

properly seated and seat-belted at all

times, the potential benefits of airbags

deploying in an accident generally out-

weigh the risks of the child being injured by

the force of a deploying airbag.

Therefore, you should deactivate the pas-

senger airbags only if you find it difficult to

ensure that the child will remain properly

seated and seat-belted at all times.

Always position the passenger seat as far

back as possible and at the lowest level.

The above warning and recommendations

are compatible with regulations estab-

lished by the National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration, NHTSA, permitting

the deactivation of passenger airbags by

means of an on-off switch for members of

certain at-risk groups.

Specifically, the at-risk groups are:

> Infants in rear-facing infant seats

> Persons with certain medical conditions

> Children aged 12 and under in the pas-

senger seat.

NHTSA provides this information via their

website, www.nhtsa.dot.gov, or via their

Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at

1-800-424-9393 or 366-0123

in Washington, D.C. area.<

The concept

Passenger airbags can be deactivated/

reactivated with the vehicle ignition key.

The key switch is located on the outer pas-

senger's side of the instrument panel.

The passenger airbags can only be deacti-

vated or reactivated with the vehicle stand-

ing still, ignition off and the passenger door

open.

Deactivation

Deactivation of the passenger airbags sys-

tem deactivates the passenger front, knee

and side airbag. The airbags on the driver

side remain active.

Using the vehicle ignition key, turn the key

switch to the OFF position. Note, the pas-

senger airbags will remain deactivated with

the switch in this position.

As soon as the reason for the deacti-

vation of the passenger airbags no

longer exists, you must reactivate these air-

bags so that they can deploy in an accident

within their normal deployment range.<

Reactivating

Using the vehicle ignition key, turn the key

switch to the AUTO position.

All airbags in the vehicle are activated and

will be triggered under appropriate condi-

tions.
