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

; 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.
