BMW 2007 525i Sedan Manual Do Proprietário

136

A special rack system is available as an option 
for your BMW. Please comply with the precau-
tions included with the installation instructions.

The mounting points are located in the door 
openings or on the roof rails

.

Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of 
gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on 
its handling and steering response. 
You should therefore always remember not to 
exceed the approved roof load capacity, the 
approved gross vehicle weight or the axle loads 
when loading the rack.
You can find the specified weights under 
Weights on page

The load on the roof must be evenly distributed 
and must not extend outward beyond the limits 
of the loading surface. Always stow the heaviest 
pieces on the bottom. Be sure that adequate 
clearance is maintained for raising the glass 
sunroof, and that objects do not project into the 
opening path of the luggage compartment lid/
tailgate.
Secure roof-mounted cargo correctly and 
securely to prevent it from shifting or falling off 
during the trip.
Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration and 
braking maneuvers. Take corners gently.
