> Use the partition net to protect passengers,
refer to page 107. Make sure that objects cannot penetrate the partition net.
> Do not stack cargo higher than the upper
edge of the backrests.
> Place protective material around any
objects which could bump against the rear window while the vehicle is in motion.
Securing cargo
> Secure smaller and lighter items using
retaining straps, a cargo bay net* or draw straps*.
> 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.
Always 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. Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 241, 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.
ba8_E9091_cic.book Seite 119 Mittwoch, 29. Oktober 2008 2:59 14
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 50, otherwise these could be damaged.<
Roof-mounted luggage rack* A special rack system is available as an option for your BMW. Comply with the directions given in the installation instructions.
Mounting points
The mounting points are located in the roof/ along the roof rails*.
Loading roof-mounted luggage rack Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle 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 applicable data under Weights on page 241. The roof load must be distributed uniformly and should not be too large in area. Heavy items should always be placed at the bottom. Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for rais- ing the glass roof, and that objects do not project into the opening path of the luggage compartment lid/tailgate. Fasten roof-mounted cargo correctly and securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off during the trip. Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.

General information With the help of satellites, the navigation sys- tem is able to ascertain the precise position of the vehicle and guide you reliably to any desti- nation you enter. The navigation data is stored in the vehicle and can be updated using navigation DVDs.
Make all entries while the vehicle is sta- tionary
Enter data only when the vehicle is stationary, and always give priority to the applicable traffic regulations in the event of any contradiction between traffic and road conditions and the instructions issued by the navigation system. Failure to take to this precaution can place you in violation of the law and put vehicle occupants and other road users in danger.<
Updating the navigation data The navigation data is stored in the vehicle and can be updated using a navigation DVD. Please contact the BMW center if you have any ques- tions.
Inserting navigation DVD 1.
Insert the navigation DVD into the DVD player with the labeled side facing up. 2. Follow the instructions on the display. 3. Enter the authorization code of the naviga-

Word-matching principle The system's word-matching principle makes it easier for you to enter the names of towns or streets. The system runs ongoing checks, com- paring your destination entries with the data stored in the vehicle as the basis for instant response. The benefits for you include: > Names of towns entered may differ from the
official versions if you are using a spelling that is customary in another country. Example: Instead of the German spelling "München" you can also enter the English spelling "Munich" or the Italian spelling "Monaco".
131
ba8_E9091_cic.book Seite 132 Mittwoch, 29. Oktober 2008 2:59 14
> When you are entering the names of towns and streets the system will complete them automatically as soon as enough letters are available to ensure unambiguous identifica- tion.
> The system offers only those letters for
selection of name entries that are stored in the vehicle. Thus, entry of erroneous or unregistered names is impossible.

Route criteria
General information You can influence the calculated route by choosing certain route criteria. You can change the route criteria as often as you like during des- tination entry or during destination guidance. The route is planned according to fixed rules. The type of road is taken into account, e.g. whether it is a highway or a winding road. As a result, the routes recommended by the naviga- tion system may not always be the same ones that you would choose based on personal expe- rience.
The settings are stored for the remote control currently in use.
Changing route criteria 1. "Navigation" 2. "Map" 3. "Route preference" 4. Selecting a criterion:
> "Fast route": time-optimized route,
which is a combination of the shortest possible route and the fastest roads
> "Efficient route": optimized combination
of the fastest and shortest roads
> "Short route": short distance, irrespec- tive of how fast or slow progress will be > "Alternative routes": other suggested
alternative routes
