Securing cargo

> Use the luggage net

or securing straps to

secure small and lightweight luggage and

cargo.

> Heavy-duty straps

for securing larger and

heavier objects are available at your BMW

center. Four lashing eyes for attaching

these heavy-duty straps are provided in the

luggage compartment, refer to illustration.

> Please follow the special instructions sup-

plied with the heavy-duty straps.

Always position and secure the load as

described above. If you do not, it can

endanger the passengers, for example during

braking or evasive maneuvers.

Attach heavy-duty straps only to the lashing

eyes, refer to illustration, otherwise, the heavy-

duty straps could come loose or the vehicle

could be damaged.

Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle

weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer

to page 226, as excessive loads can impair the

operational safety of the vehicle and may also

put you in violation of highway safety laws.

You should never transport unsecured heavy or

hard objects in the passenger compartment, as

they could fly around and pose a safety hazard

to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt brak-

ing or evasive maneuvers.<

Roof-mounted luggage rack*

A special rack system is available as an option

for your BMW. Please comply with the precau-

tions included with the installation instructions.

Anchorage points

The anchorage points are located inside the

door openings.

Loading roof rack

Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of

gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on

its handling and steering response.

You should therefore always remember not to

exceed the approved roof load capacity, the

approved gross vehicle weight or the axle loads

when loading the rack.

You can find this information under Weights on

page 226.

The roof load must be uniformly distributed and

should not be too large in area. Always load the

heaviest pieces on the bottom. Be sure that

adequate clearance is maintained for raising the

glass sunroof, and that objects do not project

into the opening path of the luggage compart-

ment lid.

Secure roof-mounted cargo correctly and

securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off

as you drive.

Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and

braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.
