BMW 2007 M6 Convertible Manual Do Proprietário

To avoid loading the tires beyond their 
approved carrying capacity, never over-

load the vehicle. Overloading can lead to over-
heating and increases the rate at which damage 
develops inside the tires. The ultimate result 
can assume the form of a sudden blow-out.

1.

Locate the following statement on your 
vehicle's placard

:

The combined weight of occupants 
and cargo should never exceed 

YYY lbs. or XXX kg, as otherwise the vehicle 
may be damaged and unstable driving con-
ditions may result.

<

2.

Determine the combined weight of the 
driver and passengers that will be riding in 
your vehicle.

3.

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

4.

The resulting figure equals the available 
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals 
800 lbs. and there will be four 150-lb. pas-
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail-
able cargo and luggage load capacity is 
200 lbs.:
800 lbs.  minus  600 lbs.  =  200 lbs.

5.

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.

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.

The permissible 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.

>

Place 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.
