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 247. 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 trunk 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.

Navigation system
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.
Enter data only when the vehicle is sta- tionary, and always give priority to the
applicable traffic regulations in the event of any contradiction between traffic and road condi- tions and the instructions issued by the naviga- tion system. Failure to take to this precaution can place you in violation of the law and put vehicle occupants and other road users in dan- ger.<
Navigation data
General information Navigation data are stored in the vehicle and can be updated. Navigation data and authorization codes are available from your BMW center. Depending on the data volume, a data update may take several hours. > The data are updated while you are driving. > The update is resumed automatically when
a trip is continued after an interruption.
> All functions are available during the trip. > The data are stored in the vehicle. > After the update, the system restarts. > The medium that holds the navigation data
can be removed after the update is com- pleted.

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". > 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
134
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 while destination guidance is active
5. Select additional route criteria, if desired.
Where possible, the selected criteria will be avoided on the route. > Avoid highways where possible:
"Avoid highways"
> Avoid toll roads where possible:
"Avoid toll roads"
> Avoid ferries where possible:

Traffic bulletins* You can display the traffic bulletins from radio stations that broadcast the TMC (Traffic Mes- sage Channel) of a traffic information service. This information from the traffic information service is continuously updated on the basis of measurement data from traffic control centers and information on traffic congestion. During destination guidance, traffic bulletins that are relevant to areas along the route are automatically displayed and taken into account in the route planning. You can open all traffic bulletins manually via iDrive. The traffic bulletins are shown in the map view.
Real Time Traffic Information End-User Provisions Certain BMW models equipped with navigation have the capability to display real-time traffic information. If your system has this capability the following additional terms and conditions apply: An End-User shall no longer have the right to use the Traffic Data in the event that the End- User is in material breach of the terms and con- ditions contained herein.

Activating/deactivating reception 1. "Navigation" 2. Open "Options". 3. Activate/deactivate "Receive Traffic Info". In many metropolitan areas you can receive traffic information broadcast by radio stations. The traffic conditions are monitored by traffic control centers and the traffic information is updated periodically. During destination guidance, the traffic bulle- tins relevant to your planned route are automat- ically shown. Whether destination guidance is active or not, you can have the traffic bulletins displayed in the map view or in the traffic info list.
Traffic bulletins in a list A list of the traffic bulletins can be opened via the menu or map view.
Opening traffic bulletins 1. "Navigation" 2. "Map" 3. Move the controller to the left, if necessary. 4. Select the

are always displayed.
> For your own safety, traffic bulletins that notify you of potentially dangerous situa- tions, such as wrong-way drivers, cannot be hidden.
Traffic bulletins during destination guidance System response will vary depending on whether or not "Dynamic guidance" is selected, refer to page 135. During destination guidance, traffic obstruc- tions on the route are taken into consideration.

Displaying traffic obstructions When the navigation system receives a traffic obstruction message and "Dynamic guidance" is not selected, you will be shown certain infor- mation, such as the length of the traffic conges- tion, when you are approx. 30 miles/50 km away from the traffic obstruction. The last possible detour exit is indicated just before you reach it. This information is displayed even if you have called up another application on the Control Display.

Dynamic route planning When "Dynamic guidance" is selected, the route will be changed automatically in the event of a traffic obstruction.
