Automatic seat belts, BMW child's carseat 35
Ti length of the shoulder section is
automatically adjusted, but the belt
emains free during normal driving to
aerTnit the necessary degree of move-
Tent at the controls.
DLiring a journey, (he lap strap of the
seat belt should be kept taut by passing
ainy slack back through the shoulder
Smp at interya`is.
-3 release the seat belt, press the }elease
=anel on the fixed lock unit.
-¥ BMW Service Station will check the
iino locking actions of the automatic-reel
seat belt during an lnspection as follows:
i. By pulling the belt out quickly while
the car is at a standstill.
2. By applying the brakes sharply while
:he upper body is exerting a load on
the diagonal strap of the belt.
In both cases the automatic reel must
lock and prevent the seat belt from pay-
jng Out.
Children should always occupy the rear
seats only, and depending on thejr age
and size either wear the lap type seat
belts or special children's seat belts. For
children capable of sitting upright and of
maDt. weight 11 kg (24 lb) and max. height
105 cm (3 ft 5 in), the BMW child's car
seat can be installed, and the child strap-
ped firmly into this.
The protection afforded by a child's seat
involves not only freedom from injury in
an accident but also the frequency with
which the chosen `passiv.e restraint
system' is actually used. A child's natural
interest in the surroundings and desire to
see and be in contact with its parents has
been taken fully into consideration in the
design of the BMW child's car seat.
Detailed fitting instructions accompany
each BMW child's seat.
The lower attachment points for the BMW
child's seat are the same as for the auto-
matic-reel lap-and-diagonal rear seat
belts. The upper attachment points are
`under the rear-window shelf, and provide
two seating positions. Your BMW Service
Station knows the anchorage points and
will install the mountings on request.
The front seat ahead of the BMW child'§
seat should be set to the mid-points of
forward/backward and seat back angle
adjustment, so that in the event of an
accident violent enough to shear the
seams in the webbing the child does not
strike the top of the front seat back as it is
flung forwards.
lnstalling the BIVIW child's seat:
Note: the webbing straps must not be
twisted. Unfold the loop part of the frame
and push into the gap between the seat
back and seat base. Attach the retaining
straps to the hook catches. Tighten the
lower straps to force the BMW child's
seat firmly against the seat cushions and
prevent it from moving. Adjust the lap
straps first by pushing in the spare sec-
tion of the belt and pulling through.
Open the seat belt buckles by pressing
the red "PRESS" catch. Move the belts
out of the way and place the child into the
seat so that its back is against the rear
cushion.
