Loading cargo Roof-mounted luggage rack*

Always position and secure the

load correctly. If you do not, it can

even endanger the passengers during

braking or evasive maneuvers.

Do not exceed the permissible gross

vehicle weight and the permissible axle

loads, refer to page 172. If you do, the

operating safety of the vehicle is no

longer ensured and you are in violation

of the law.

You should never transport heavy or

hard objects unsecured in the passen-

ger compartment, as they could fly

around and pose a safety hazard to the

vehicle's occupants even during abrupt

braking or evasive maneuvers.<

option for your BMW. Please comply

with the precautions included with the

installation instructions.

Cargo loading and driving hints

Roof-mounted luggage racks raise the

center of gravity of the vehicle when

they are loaded. For this reason, they

exercise a major effect on the vehicle's

handling and steering response.

You should therefore always remember

not to exceed the approved roof

weight, the approved gross vehicle

weight or the axle loads when loading

the rack.

You will find the specifications under

Technical data on page 172.

Make sure that the load is not too

heavy, and attempt to distribute it

evenly. Always load the heaviest pieces

on the bottom. Be sure that adequate

clearance is maintained for raising the

glass roof, and that objects do not

project into the opening path of the lug-

gage compartment lid.

Always ensure that roof-mounted

loads are tightly secured, as loose

loads can shift or even fly off the roof,

posing a serious hazard for following

traffic.<

Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden accelera-

tion and braking maneuvers. Take cor-

ners gently.
