BMW X3 Owners Manual: Hints

Do not incline the backrest too far to the rear
Do not incline the backrest too far to the rear while driving, or there is a risk of slipping under the safety belt in the event of an accident. This would eliminate the protection normally provided by the belt.

When changing the seat position, keep the seat's area of movement unobstructed; otherwise, people might get injured or objects damaged.
