Driving On A Racetrack - BMW iX Owner's Handbook Manual

DRIVING HINTS
Fold the cover outwards.
Fitting
Follow the installation instructions for the roof
rack.
Make sure that there is sufficient space to raise
and open the glass sunroof.
Loading
A loaded roof rack alters the vehicle's road be‐
haviour and steering response by shifting its cen‐
tre of gravity.
Therefore when loading and driving, bear the
following in mind:
▷ Do not exceed the permitted roof and axle
load or the permitted total weight.
▷ Make sure that there is sufficient space to
raise and open the glass sunroof.
▷ Distribute the roof load evenly.
▷ The roof load must not be spread over too
large an area.
▷ Place heavy items of luggage at the bottom.
▷ Securely fasten the luggage, for example with
tensioning straps.
▷ Drive cautiously and avoid driving off and
braking suddenly or fast cornering.
