Securing cargo
>
Use the luggage net*, retaining straps*, or
securing straps to hold down small and
lightweight luggage and cargo.
Loading roof-mounted luggage 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 the specified weights under
Weights on page 260.
The load on the roof must be evenly distributed
and must not extend outward beyond the limits
of the loading surface. Always stow the heaviest
pieces on the bottom. Be sure to maintain ade-
quate clearance for the raising of the glass sun-
roof and that objects do not project into the
opening path of the liftgate.

For larger and heavier pieces, heavy-duty
cargo straps* are available from your BMW
Sports Activity Vehicle Center. Four lashing
eyes* mounted in the cargo bay are used to
secure these heavy-duty cargo straps, refer
to illustration.

securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off
during the trip.
Please observe the special instructions
supplied with the heavy-duty cargo straps.
Position and secure the cargo as
described above, so that it cannot endan-
Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and
braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.
ger the car's occupants, for example if sudden
braking or evasive maneuvers are necessary.
Use only the lashing eyes*, refer to illustration,
to secure the heavy-duty cargo straps; other-
wise, the cargo 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 260, as excessive loads can pose a
safety hazard, and may also place you in viola-
tion of traffic 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.<
Driving on poor roads
Your BMW is at home on all roads and surfaces.
It combines a 4-wheel drive system with the
advantages of a normal passenger car.
Do not drive on unpaved terrain, as other-
wise the vehicle may be damaged.<
When you are driving on poor roads, there are a
few points which you should strictly observe for
your own safety, for that of your passengers,
and for the safety of the vehicle:
>
Familiarize yourself with the vehicle before
driving off and avoid taking risks at all costs.
>
Adapt your driving speed to the road condi-
tions. The steeper and rougher the road
surface is, the lower the speed should be.
