Cargo loading
83n
Always position and secure the load
correctly. If you do not, it can endanger
vehicle occupants during braking or
evasive maneuvers.
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
Do not exceed the approved gross
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.<
> 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
corners behind the seats, or else they
could damage the back of the seat or
the rear trim panel.
Cargo that is too big or unwieldy and
stowed behind the seats can also
prevent 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
necessary. Refer to page 45.
