Sport automatic transmission with double clutch: never drive with the transmission in neutral or with the engine switched off; other- wise, there will be no engine braking action and no power assistance to the brakes and steering. Manual transmission: never drive with the clutch held down, with the transmission in neu- tral or with the engine switched off; otherwise, there will be no engine braking action and no power assistance to the brakes and steering. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the pedals; otherwise, pedal function could be impaired.<
Corrosion on brake rotors When the vehicle is driven only occasionally, during extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all, and in operating conditions where brake applications are less frequent, there is an increased tendency for corrosion to form on rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the brake pads. This occurs because the minimum pressure which must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the rotors is not reached. Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating effect that even extended application will fail to cure.
When the vehicle is parked Condensation forms while the automatic cli- mate control is in operation, and then exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water under the vehicle are therefore normal.
Cargo loading
To avoid loading the tires beyond their approved carrying capacity, never over- load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over- heating and increases the rate at which damage develops inside the tires. In some situations, this can result in sudden loss of tire pressure.<
Make sure that no liquids are spilled or leak from their containers in the cargo
area, as this could result in damage to the vehi- cle.<
Determining loading limit
1. Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard:
The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the vehicle and unstable driving conditions 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 capacity. For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150-lbs. passengers 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 luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the manual for transporting a trailer to determine how this may reduce the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
6.
Load
The permissible load is the total of the weight of occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo/lug- gage can be transported.
Stowing cargo > Position heavy objects as low and as far for- ward as possible, ideally directly behind the respective seat backrests.
> Cover sharp edges and corners. > For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each safety belt in the opposite buckle.

Driving tips
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 287; otherwise, excessive loads can pose a safety hazard and may also place you in violation 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. 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 59; otherwise, these could be damaged.<
Coupe: 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
> Secure smaller and lighter items using
retaining straps, a cargo area net, or draw straps.
> Heavy-duty cargo straps for securing larger
and heavier objects are available at your BMW center. Four lashing eyes are pro- vided for attaching the cargo straps. Two are located on the side walls of the cargo area 1, two additional ones are located on the inside wall of the cargo area 2. Please note the information supplied with the cargo straps.
Convertible: before opening the hardtop, fold down the cargo area partition. Make sure the cargo area is loaded correctly; other- wise parts of the hardtop can be damaged, refer to page 130.<
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
The mounting points are located in the roof.
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 287.

Things to remember when driving
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 tilting the glass roof, and that objects do not project into the opening path of the trunk lid. 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.

Vehicle equipment In this chapter, all production, country, and optional equipment that is offered in the model range is described. Equipment is also described that is not available because of, for example, selected options or country version. This also applies to safety related functions and systems.
General information The navigation system can determine the pre- cise position of the vehicle, with the aid of satel- lites and vehicle sensors, and can reliably guide you to every entered destination.
Enter data only with the vehicle station- ary, and always give priority to the appli- cable traffic regulations in the event of any con- tradiction 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.<
