BMW 2015 228i Coupe Owner's Manual

The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.

▷

Cover sharp edges and corners on the
cargo.

▷

Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possi‐
ble, directly behind and at the bottom of
the rear passenger seat backrests.

▷

Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not
occupied, secure each of the outer safety
belts in the opposite buckle.

▷

If necessary, fold down the rear backrests
to stow cargo.

▷

Do not stack cargo above the top edge of
the backrests.

To secure the cargo there are two or four lash‐
ing eyes in the cargo area.

The floor net can also be used to secure cargo
and store small parts.

Hook the floor net into the fittings in the trunk
floor.

Securing cargo
Stow and secure the cargo as described;

otherwise it may present a danger to the occu‐
pants, e.g., during braking and evasive maneu‐
vers.◀

▷

Smaller and lighter items: secure with re‐
taining straps or draw straps.

▷

Larger and heavy objects: secure with
cargo straps.

Attach the cargo straps, retaining straps or
draw straps to the lashing eyes in the trunk.
