Load
tion of traffic safety laws.
Heavy or hard objects should not be carried
loose inside the car, since they could be thrown
around, for example as a result of heavy braking,
sudden swerves, etc., and endanger the occu-
pants.<
Roadster: convertible top
compartment
The cargo bay can be enlarged when the
convertible top is closed, refer to page 23.
It is recommended that you always fold the con-
vertible top compartment panel down as soon
as you have taken your cargo out of the cargo
bay. This way, you can be sure that you can
always operate the convertible top at any time.
When the convertible top is closed, fold the
convertible top compartment panel up before
stowing your cargo in the cargo bay, to avoid
any damage to the convertible top compart-
ment or your load.
The permissible load is the sum of the occu-
pants' weights and the weight of the cargo. The
greater the weight of the occupants, the less
cargo can be transported.
Stowing cargo
Do not stow any items on the convertible top
compartment panel, otherwise the convertible
top could be damaged while it is opening.<
If you stow cargo behind the seats of your
BMW:
>
>
Load heavy cargo as far forward as possi- >
ble, directly behind the cargo bay partition,
and as low as possible.
Only stow light objects such as clothing,
etc.
>
Do not pile objects higher than the top edge
of the backrests.
Cover sharp edges and corners.
To avoid damaging the rear of the back-
rests or the rear interior trim panel, do not
stow heavy cargo or cargo with sharp edges
and corners behind the seats.
Roadster: hardtop
preparation*
In addition, large and bulky cargo stowed
behind a seat may prevent the backrest from
engaging properly. Therefore, check the back-
rest to see if it is properly engaged, and move
the seat forward if necessary; refer to page 31.
Always position and secure the load as
described above. If you do not, it can endanger
the occupants during braking or evasive
maneuvers.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer
to page 109, as excessive loads can pose a
safety hazard, and may also place you in viola-
Pull covers off, see arrow 1.
The brackets for attaching the hardtop
