5.
Determine the combined weight of luggage 
and cargo being loaded into and/or onto the 
vehicle. This combined weight may not 
safely exceed the available cargo and lug-
gage load capacity calculated in step 4.
6.
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, part of 
the load from your trailer will be transferred 
to your vehicle. Consult the manual for 
transporting a trailer to determine how this 
may reduce the available cargo and luggage 
load capacity of your vehicle.
Load
The permitted load is the total of the weight of 
occupants and cargo/luggage. The greater the 
weight of occupants, the less cargo/luggage 
can be transported.
Stowing cargo
>
To protect passengers, use the partition 
net, refer to page
>
Load heavy cargo as far forward and as low 
as possible, placing it directly behind the 
rear seat backrests.
>
Cover sharp edges and corners.
>
Do not stack cargo higher than the upper 
edge of the backrests.
>
Items that could bump against the rear win-
dow while driving must be adequately cov-
ered.
>
For very heavy cargo when the rear seat is 
not occupied, secure the safety belt on 
each side in the buckle on the opposite 
side.
Securing cargo
>
Use the luggage net
*
 or draw straps to hold 
down small and lightweight luggage and 
cargo, refer to page
>
For larger and heavier pieces, heavy-duty 
cargo straps
*
 are available from your BMW 
Sports Activity Vehicle Center. These 
heavy-duty cargo straps are secured to 
lashing eyes mounted in the luggage com-
partment, refer to page
.
Read the information provided with the 
heavy-duty cargo straps.
Always position and secure cargo as 
described above. If you do not, it can 
endanger the passengers during braking or 
evasive maneuvers. 
Use only the lashing eyes, refer to page
fasten the heavy-duty cargo straps; otherwise, 
the heavy-duty cargo straps could loosen or the 
vehicle could be damaged.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle 
weight or either of the approved axle loads, refer 
to page
, as excessive loads can pose a 
safety hazard and may also put you in violation 
of road safety laws.
You should never transport unsecured heavy or 
hard objects in the passenger compartment, as 
they could be thrown around and pose a safety 
hazard to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt 
braking or evasive maneuvers.
