Things to remember when driving
120
Cargo loadingStowing cargo >Load heavy cargo as far forward and as
low as possible, placing it directly behind
the bulkhead behind the rear seats
>Cover sharp edges and corners
>For very heavy loads when the rear seat
is not occupied, secure each safety belt in
the opposite buckle. Securing the load >Use the luggage net
* or securing straps
to hold down small and light-weight
luggage and cargo, refer to page 40
>Heavy-duty cargo straps for securing
larger and heavier objects are available at
your BMW center
*. Anchorages for
attaching these heavy-duty straps have
been provided in your vehicle's luggage
compartment, refer to the illustration
>Please observe the special instructions
supplied with the cargo straps.
Always position and secure the load
correctly. If you do not, it can
endanger the passengers during braking or
evasive maneuvers.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved
axle loads, refer to page 194, as excessive
loads can pose a safety hazard, and may
also place you in violation of highway
safety laws.
You should never transport heavy or hard
objects unsecured in the passenger
compartment, as they could fly around and
pose a safety hazard to the vehicle's occu-
pants during abrupt braking or evasive
maneuvers .<
Roof-mounted luggage
rack* Anchorage pointsThe anchorage points are located within
the door openings.
A special rack system is available as an
option for your BMW. Please comply with
the precautions included with the installa-
tion instructions.
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
weight, the approved gross vehicle weight
or the axle loads when loading the rack.
You can find the specified weights in the
Technical data section on page 194.
Make sure that the load is not too heavy,
and that it does not extend outward to
beyond the limits of the loading surface.
Always load the heaviest pieces first (on
the bottom). Be sure that adequate clear-
ance is maintained for raising the sliding/tilt
sunroof, and that objects do not project
