Securing cargo

> Use the luggage net

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 227, 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 54; otherwise, you could damage

them.<

Pad on base of luggage compartment

You can use the pad as needed, for example to

transport soiled objects. The rubberized side is

washable and has an anti-skid effect.
