Determining loading limit
1. Locate the following statement on your
vehicle's placard*:
The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX lbs. or YYY kg, as otherwise the vehicle
The permissible load is the total of the weight of occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage can be transported.

Stowing cargo
Securing cargo
> Use the luggage net*, luggage straps, or securing straps to hold down small and lightweight luggage and cargo.
> Heavy-duty cargo straps* for securing
larger and heavier objects are available at your BMW center. Four lashing eyes mounted in the cargo bay are used to secure these heavy-duty cargo straps, refer to illustration.
> Please observe the special instructions
supplied with the heavy-duty cargo straps.
Position and secure the cargo as described above, so that it cannot endan- ger the vehicle's occupants, for example if sud- den braking or evasive maneuvers are neces- sary. Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 263, as excessive loads can pose a safety hazard, and may also place you in viola- tion of traffic safety laws. You should never transport unsecured heavy or hard objects in the passenger compartment, as they could fly around and pose a safety hazard to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt brak- ing or evasive maneuvers. Use only the lashing eyes pictured to fasten the heavy-duty cargo straps. Do not secure cargo with the upper attachment points for LATCH, refer to page 59; otherwise, you could damage them.<
> Load heavy cargo as far forward and as low
as possible, placing it directly behind the rear backrest.
> Cover sharp edges and corners. > For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each safety belt in the opposite buckle.
> Do not pile objects higher than the top edge
of the backrest. > Sports Wagon:
Use the partition net to protect the occu- pants, refer to page 128. Make sure that objects cannot penetrate through the parti- tion net. Wrap sharp-edged or pointed objects which could strike the rear window while driving.
138
Roof-mounted luggage rack* A special rack system is available as an option for your BMW. Please comply with the precau- tions included with the installation instructions.
Mounting points
The mounting points are located in the door openings or on 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 its 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 specified weights under Weights on page 263. Distribute the roof load uniformly. The load must not be too large in area. Always stow the heaviest pieces on the bottom. Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising the glass sunroof, and that objects do not project into the opening path of the luggage compart- ment lid/tailgate. Secure 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.
