Securing cargo BMW X5
BMW X6
▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each of the outer safety belts in the BMW X5 in the opposite buckle. ▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward and as low
as possible, ideally directly behind the backrests.
▷ Cover sharp edges and corners. ▷ Do not pile objects higher than the top edge
of the backrest.
▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests to
stow cargo.
▷ Place protective material around any sharp- edged or pointed objects that could bump against the rear window while the vehicle is in motion.
▷ Smaller and lighter items: secure with re‐
taining straps*, a cargo net* or draw straps*. ▷ Larger and heavy objects: secure with cargo
straps*. Four lashing eyes* mounted in the cargo area are used to secure these cargo straps, refer to illustrations. Adhere to the information included with the cargo straps.
Securing cargo Stow and secure the cargo as described above; otherwise it may present a danger to the occupants, for instance during braking and avoidance maneuvers. Do not stow any heavy and hard objects in the passenger compartment without securing them; otherwise, they may present a danger to occupants, for instance during braking and avoidance maneuvers.

Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer to page 292, as excessive loads can pose a safety hazard, and may also place you in viola‐ tion of traffic safety laws. Use only the lashing eyes pictured to fasten the heavy-duty cargo straps. Do not secure cargo using the upper top tether, refer to page 57, mounting points; otherwise, these may become damaged.◀
Roof-mounted luggage rack* Special rack system as optional accessory A special rack system is available as an optional accessory. Follow the directions given in the installation in‐ structions. Mounting Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising and opening the glass sunroof*/pan‐ oramic glass sunroof*. Loading Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle handling and steering response. Therefore, note the following when loading and driving: ▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle loads and the approved gross vehicle weight, refer to page 292.
▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly. ▷ The roof load should not be too large in area. ▷ Always load the heaviest pieces on the bot‐
tom.
▷ Fasten roof-mounted cargo correctly and
securely.
▷ Do not let objects project into the opening
path of the tailgate.
▷ Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking maneuvers. Take corners gen‐ tly.
Driving on poor roads Your vehicle combines an all-wheel drive sys‐ tem with the advantages of a normal passenger car.
Do not drive on unpaved terrain Do not drive on unpaved terrain, as other‐
wise the vehicle may be damaged.◀ For your own safety and the safety of passen‐ gers and the vehicle, adhere to the following points: ▷ Familiarize yourself with the vehicle before
driving; never take risks.
▷ Adjust speeds according to road conditions. The steeper and rougher the road surface is, the lower the speed should be.
▷ When driving on steep uphill and downhill
grades: the engine oil and coolant should be filled nearly to the MAX mark. BMW X5: the vehicle can be driven on uphill and downhill grades up to 50%.
▷ Use Hill Descent Control HDC, refer to
page 98, on steep downhill grades. BMW X5: the vehicle can be driven away on uphill grades of up to 33%. The permissible body roll is 50%.
▷ Watch for stones, holes, and other obstacles
and drive around these where possible.
▷ On bumps and rough roads, avoid contact between the vehicle body and the ground. The maximum ground clearance is 8 inches/ 20 cm and may vary with the loaded cargo. ▷ When driving through water, do not exceed
the maximum water height. ▷ BMW X5: 20 inches/50 cm ▷ BMW X6: 17 inches/45 cm Drive at walking speed only and do not stop the vehicle.

▷ After driving through water, press on the
brake pedal several times at low speeds to dry the brakes.
▷ Depending on the prevailing terrain, activate
Dynamic Traction Control DTC, refer to page 97, briefly.
▷ When the wheels spin, accelerate to enable the driving stability control systems to dis‐ tribute the drive force to the individual wheels.
▷ BMW X5 with M Sport Package*: if the ve‐ hicle is primarily used on poor roads or un‐ paved surfaces, it may be advantageous, depending on the driving style, to use the stone chip guard offered by the service cen‐ ter. This reduces the risk of damage to painted vehicle components, such as in the area of the side skirts and wheel arches. Your service center will be glad to advise you.
After driving on poor roads Adhere to the following points to ensure vehicle safety: ▷ Remove excessive accumulations of dirt
and mud from the vehicle body.
▷ Clear mud, snow, ice, etc., from the wheels
and tires and check for damage.
Saving fuel General information Your vehicle contains advanced technology for the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐ sions. Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐ ferent factors. The implementation of certain measures, driv‐ ing style and regular maintenance, refer to page 268, can have an influence on fuel con‐ sumption and on the environmental impact. Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts following use Remove unneeded auxiliary mirrors, roof or rear luggage racks after use. Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐ dynamics and increase the fuel consumption. Closing the windows and glass sunroof*/panoramic glass sunroof* Driving with the glass sunroof/panoramic glass sunroof and windows open results in increased air resistance and raises fuel consumption. Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if necessary, correct the tire inflation pressure, refer to page 252, at least twice a month and before starting on a long trip. Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐ sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and tire wear. Drive away without delay Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate engine speeds. This is the fastest way for the cold engine to reach its operating temperature. Look well ahead when driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle driving ahead of you. Driving smoothly and looking ahead reduces fuel consumption. Avoid high engine speeds Driving at a low engine speed reduces fuel con‐ sumption and minimizes wear. Use coasting conditions When approaching a red light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt. On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the ac‐ celerator and let the vehicle roll. The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.

Switch off the engine during longer stops Switch off the engine during longer stops, e.g., at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic congestion. Fuel savings are achieved after the vehicle is switched off for only approx. 4 seconds. Switch off any functions that are not currently needed Functions such as seat heating and the rear win‐ dow defroster require a lot of energy and con‐ sume additional fuel, especially in city and stop- and-go traffic. Therefore, switch off these functions if they are not actually needed. Have maintenance carried out Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve optimal vehicle economy and operating life. Have the maintenance carried out by your serv‐ ice center. Please also note the BMW Maintenance Sys‐ tem, refer to page 268.
