Overview
Cargo loading
Stowing cargo
If you are carrying cargo in the luggage
compartment of your BMW Z8 roadster:
>
Load heavy cargo as far forward as
possible, directly behind the luggage
compartment partition
>
Cover sharp edges and corners.
If you are stowing cargo behind the
seats in your BMW Z8 roadster:
>
Stow only lightweight objects, such
as clothing
>
Do not pile objects higher than the
top edge of the backrest.
Do not stow either heavy cargo or
cargo with sharp edges and cor-
ners behind the seats, or else they
could damage the backrest or the rear
trim panel.
Cargo that is too big or unwieldy and
stowed behind the seats can also pre-
vent the seat from locking properly into
position. Therefore, check to make sure
that the seat is properly locked into
place, moving the seat forward if nec-
essary, refer to page
45 .
Always position and secure the load
correctly. If you do not, it can endanger
vehicle occupants during braking or
evasive maneuvers.
Do not exceed the approved gross
vehicle weight or the approved axle
loads, refer to page
160 , otherwise the
vehicle's operating safety is no longer
assured and you are in violation of the
law.
Make sure to secure heavy or hard
objects you stow in the passenger area,
otherwise, these objects could be flung
about during braking or evasive maneu-
vers and possibly injure vehicle occu-
pants.
