Rule of the road, headlight
adjustment
When entering countries where the traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road to the
country in which your car is registered, certain
measures are necessary to avoid dazzling the
drivers of oncoming vehicles.
Do not make adjustments while the head-
lights are still hot, otherwise there is a risk
of burns.<
If you are not familiar with this type of operation,
please contact BMW Service or a BMW-
approved workshop with suitably trained per-
sonnel.
1. Switch off the lights and take the remote
control out of the ignition lock.
2. Remove external covers on the rear side of
the headlights; press the clips to do so, see
arrow.
The picture shows the rear side of the right
headlight. On the left headlight, the lever 1
is located on the other side.
3. Driving on the left: press each lever 1 down.
Driving on the right: press each lever 1 up.
When crossing the border back into the car's
country of registration, press each lever 1 back
in the opposite direction.
Loads
Avoid overloading the car, as this could
cause the tyres' load capacity limit to be
exceeded. The tyres could then overheat and
sustain internal damage. This could lead to sud-
den pressure loss.<

Loading
>
Position heavy objects low down and as far
forward as possible, ideally directly behind
the luggage compartment bulkhead.
> Wrap protective material round sharp cor-
ners and edges.
>
When carrying very heavy loads with no
passengers on the back seat, insert each of
the outer seat belts into their opposite
buckles.
Securing the load
> Small and relatively light items can be
retained with the tensioning straps, a load-
*
area net or other suitable straps.
>
BMW Service can supply suitable lashings
for securing larger or heavier loads. To
secure these lashings, there are four eyes in
the luggage compartment, see picture.
> Please note the information supplied with
load securing equipment.
Stow and secure the load as described
previously, so that it cannot endanger the
car's occupants merely if sudden braking or
avoiding action is necessary.
Do not exceed the car's permitted gross weight
or the axle load limits, see page 243, otherwise
the car's operating safety may be endangered
