BMW 2005 X3 3.0i SAV オーナーマニュアル

Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX lbs. or YYY kg.

The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals
990 lbs. and there will be five 150-lbs. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity is
240 lbs.:
990 lbs. minus 750 lbs. = 240 lbs.

Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in step 4.

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

Load heavy cargo as far forward and as low
as possible, placing it directly behind the
bulkhead behind the rear seats.

Cover sharp edges and corners.

Pull out the partition net, refer to page

making sure that objects cannot penetrate
the partition net.

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 each safety belt in the
opposite buckle.

Securing cargo

Use the luggage net

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. Lashing
eyes for attaching these heavy-duty cargo
straps have been provided in your vehicle's
cargo area, refer to page
