Things to remember when driving

136

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 255.

The load on the roof must be evenly distributed

and must not extend outward beyond the limits

of the loading surface. 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 compartment 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.
