load capacity.
capacity of the tires is not exceeded.
Overloading can lead to overheating
and increases the rate at which damage
develops inside the tires. The ultimate
result can assume the form of a sudden
air loss.<
For example, if the XXX amount
equals 1350 Ibs. and there will be
five 150 Ibs. passengers in your vehi-
cle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is
600 Ibs.:
1350 Ibs. minus 750 Ibs. = 600 Ibs.
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
Determining loading limit
1. Locate the following statement on
your vehicle's placard*:
The combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo should never
exceed XXX Ibs. or YYY kg, as other-
wise the vehicle may be damaged
and unstable driving conditions may
result.<
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be trans-
ferred 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.
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 Ibs.
or YYY kg

Securing load
Load:
> Position heavy cargo as far forward
as possible directly behind the back-
rests and as low as possible
> Secure smaller, light pieces with the
retaining straps or a luggage net*, or
use elastic straps, refer to page 37
> Heavy-duty cargo straps* for secur-
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
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.
> Cover sharp edges and corners
> Do not pile objects higher than the
top edge of the backrest
> Fasten the partition net, refer to
page 127, and ensure that carried
items cannot pass through the parti-
tion net
> Wrap objects which could strike the
rear window while driving accordingly
> If you are transporting very heavy
loads when the rear seat is not occu-
pied, secure the outer safety belts in
the opposite buckles.
> Read and comply with the informa-
tion enclosed with the heavy-duty
cargo straps.
