Securing the load

> Secure smaller, light pieces with the

retaining straps or with a luggage

compartment net or elastic straps

(refer to page 41)

> For large, heavy pieces, see your

BMW center for load-securing de-

vices

*. Lashing eyes are provided at

the corners of the luggage compart-

ment for attaching these load-secur-

ing devices (refer to the illustration)

> Comply with the information en-

Always position and secure the

load correctly, otherwise it can

endanger the passengers in the event

of braking, swerving or in a crash.

Do not exceed the permissible gross

weight and the permissible axle loads

(refer to page 200). If you do so, the

operating safety of the vehicle is no

longer ensured, and you are in violation

of the law.

Do not stow heavy or hard objects in

the passenger compartment unless

they are properly secured. Improperly

secured objects would be thrown

around during braking and evasive ma-

neuvers and endanger the occupants.<

A special luggage system is available

as an option for your BMW. Please

comply with the precautions included

with the installation instructions.

Because roof racks raise the center of

gravity of the car when loaded, they ex-

ercise 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 weights when load-

ing the rack. You will find the specifica-

tions under "Technical Data" on

page 200.

Make sure that the load is not too

heavy, and attempt to distribute it

evenly. Always load the heaviest pieces

first (on the bottom). Make sure there is

sufficient space to raise the sliding/tilt

sunroof.
