Cargo loading
Load:
The permitted load is the total of the
weight of occupants and cargo/lug-
gage. The greater the weight of occu-
pants, the less cargo/luggage can be
transported.
Stowing cargo
> Use the partition net to protect the
occupants, refer to page
> Position heavy cargo as far forward
as possible directly behind the back-
rests and as low as possible
> Cover sharp edges and corners
> Do not pile objects higher than the
top edge of the backrest
> Appropriately wrap objects that could
strike the rear window while driving
> If you are transporting very heavy
loads when the rear seat is not occu-
pied, secure the outer safety belts in
the opposite buckles.
Securing load
> Secure smaller, light pieces with the
125 retaining straps or a luggage net
use elastic straps, refer to page
> Heavy-duty cargo straps
ing larger and heavier objects are
available at your BMW Sports Activity
Vehicle center. The lashing eyes pro-
vided at the corners of the cargo area
serve for mounting these heavy-duty
cargo straps
> Read and comply with the informa-
tion enclosed with the heavy-duty
cargo straps.
