Load
>
Heavy-duty cargo straps* for securing
larger and heavier objects are available at
your BMW center. Four lashing eyes are
provided for attaching the cargo straps.
Two are located on the cargo bay
sidewalls 1, two more are on the rear cargo
bay panel 2.
Please comply with the information sup-
plied with the cargo straps.
Position and secure the cargo as
described above, so that it cannot endan-
ger the car's occupants, for example if sudden
braking or swerving is necessary.
The permissible load is the total of the weight of
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the
weight of the occupants, the less cargo/lug-
gage can be transported.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer
to page 240, as excessive loads can pose a
safety hazard, and may also place you in viola-
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.
Stowing cargo
>
Position heavy objects as low and as far for-
ward as possible, ideally directly behind the
respective seat backrests.
>
>
Cover sharp edges and corners.
For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is
not occupied, secure each safety belt in the
opposite buckle.
Only attach the cargo straps using the lashing
eyes shown in the illustration. Do not secure
cargo with the anchors for tether straps, refer to
page 52, otherwise these could be damaged.<
Roof-mounted luggage rack*
A luggage rack mounted on the roof
changes vehicle aerodynamics and han-
dling. Exercise restraint when driving with a
roof-mounted luggage rack to avoid the risk of
an accident.<
Securing cargo
A special rack system is available as an option
for your BMW. Comply with the directions given
in the installation instructions.
>
Secure smaller and lighter items using
retaining straps, a cargo bay net* or draw
straps*.
