The two brackets are connected with a tele‐
scopic rail.
1.Insert the brackets at the respective notch
in the rail on the cargo area floor.2.Press down the brackets to push them into
the desired position.3.Check the firm seating of the brackets.
They must be clearly heard to engage.
No cargo on brackets
Do not lay cargo on the brackets, as oth‐
erwise they could be unlocked.◀
Dividing up cargo area
The cargo can be positioned as follows:
▷Between the rear seat backrest and the
telescopic rail▷Between the telescopic rail and the retain‐
ing strapPositioning cargo between telescopic rail and
retaining strap:1.Lay the cargo on the telescopic rail. Press
the button, arrow 1, and route the retaining
strap around the cargo, arrow 2.2.Hook the retaining strap into the mount 3
on the telescopic rail.3.Press the button of the bracket, arrow 1.
The retaining strap is tensioned.
It is also possible to hook the two retaining
straps onto each other.
When the adaptive fixing system is no longer
needed, unhook the retaining strap and guide
it back into the bracket holding the hook to
prevent damage and injury.
Then slide the fastening system toward the
front in order to permit the best possible use of
the cargo area.
Removing brackets Press down the brackets, slide them up to the
notches of the rails and remove them.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the adaptive fixing system can be stored under thecargo floor panel in the cargo area.
Ski bag
The ski bag is designed for safe, clean trans‐
port of up to 4 pairs of standard skis or up to
2 snowboards.
Skis with a length of up to 6 ft/2.10 m can be
stowed using the ski bag. When stowing skis
with a length of 6 ft/2.10 m, the capacity of the
ski bag is reduced as the bag narrows.

LoadingVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series.Therefore, it also
describes equipment that may not be found in
your vehicle, for instance due to the selected
special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
General information Overloading the vehicle
To avoid exceeding the approved carry‐
ing capacity of the tires, never overload the ve‐
hicle. Overloading can lead to overheating and
increases the rate at which damage develops
inside the tires. This could result in a sudden
loss of tire inflation pressure.◀
No fluids in the cargo area
Make sure that fluids do not leak into the
cargo area; otherwise, the vehicle may be dam‐
aged.◀
Determining the load limit1.Locate the following statement on your ve‐
hicle’s placard:▷The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed XXX kgor YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the
vehicle and unstable driving situations
may result.2.Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kilograms or
YYY pounds.4.The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load ca‐
pacity.
For example, if the YYY amount equals
1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lbs pas‐
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs: 1,400 lbs minus 750 lbs =
650 lbs.5.Determine the combined weight of lug‐
gage and cargo being loaded on the vehi‐
cle. That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transfered to your
vehicle. Consult the manual for transport‐
ing a trailer to determine how this may re‐
duce the available cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.

This lamp uses LED technology for operation.
Contact your service center in the event of a
malfunction.
Changing wheels
Notes Your vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires, re‐
fer to page 286, as standard equipment.
They do not need to be replaced immediately
in the event of a puncture.
When mounting new tires or changing from
summer to winter tires or vice versa, use run-
flat tires for your own safety.
BMW X6: do not rotate the front wheels to the
rear or vice versa, as otherwise the handling
characteristics will be negatively affected.
Suitable tools for changing the wheels are
available from the service center as an acces‐
sory.
Jacking points for the vehicle jack
The jacking points for the vehicle jack are lo‐
cated in the positions shown.
Compact wheel Safety precautions in the event of a flat
tire or wheel change
Park the vehicle as far as possible from pass‐
ing traffic and on solid ground. Switch on the
hazard warning system.
Set the parking brake and engage transmis‐
sion position P.
Have all vehicle occupants get out of the vehi‐
cle and ensure that they remain outside the
immediate area in a safe place, such as behind
a guardrail.
If a warning triangle or portable hazard warning
lamp is required, set it up on the roadside at an
appropriate distance from the rear of the vehi‐
cle. Comply with all safety guidelines and regu‐
lations.
Change the wheel only on a level, firm surface
which is not slippery. The vehicle or the jack
could slip to the side if you attempt to raise the
vehicle on a soft or slippery surface such as
snow, ice, tiles, etc.
Position the jack on a firm support surface.
Do not use a wooden block or similar object as
a support base for the jack, as this would pre‐
vent it from extending to its full support height
and reduce its load-carrying capacity.
To avoid serious or fatal injury: never lie under
the vehicle, and never start the engine while it
is supported by the jack.◀
What you will need
To avoid rattling noises later on, note the posi‐
tions of the tools before removing them, then
return them to their initial positions after com‐
pleting work.
The tools are located in the mount under the
floor panel flap.Seite 302MobilityReplacing components302
