Latch Child-Restraint System - BMW 745 2002 Owner's Manual

safety belt after they have outgrown a
booster seat that is appropriate for their
age, height, and weight. Younger children
should be secured in an appropriate
forward-facing child-restraint system that
has first been properly secured with a
safety belt. Never install a rearward-facing
child-restraint system in the front
passenger seat.
We strongly urge you to carefully read and
comply with the instructions for installation
and use provided by the child-restraint's
manufacturer whenever you use such a
device.
Be sure that all occupants – of all ages –
remain properly and securely restrained at
all times. If your vehicle is equipped with
electric power seats at the rear, these will
need to be returned to their standard
adjustment setting position before a child-
restraint system is used, refer to page 47.
Always press the safety switch for the
power windows before transporting chil-
dren in the rear seats, refer to page 42. This
switch also disables the power rear seat
adjustment. Incorrect or unsupervised
adjustment of the electric power seats
could lead to injuries or damage to the
child-restraint system(s) installed in the
rear.<
All rear seating positions in your vehicle
meet the recommendations of SAE J1819,
an industry recommended practice for
securing child-restraint systems in motor
vehicles.
