BMW M3 Convertible 2004 - Manual (Page 107)

107
Stowing cargo
> Load heavy cargo as far forward as
possible – directly behind the lug-
gage compartment partition – and as
low as possible
> Cover sharp edges and corners.
You can enlarge the luggage com-
partment when the convertible top
is closed, refer to page 37 . To do this
you have to fold the convertible top
compartment panel up.
We recommend that you always fold
the convertible top compartment panel
down as soon as you have removed
your cargo from the luggage compart-
ment. This way, you can be sure that
you can always operate you convertible
top at any time.
At the same time, when the top is
raised you should fold the convertible
top compartment panel back up before
stowing large objects in the luggage
compartment; this precaution will help
reduce the likelihood of damage to
either the convertible top compartment
or your luggage.
<
Securing the cargo in the luggage
compartment
> For small, light items, use the rubber-
lined, non-skid side of the floor mat
or secure using the luggage compart-
ment net* or elastic straps, refer to
page
37
> For large, heavy pieces, see your
BMW center for load-securing
devices*. Lashing fittings located in
the luggage compartment can be
used for fastening the load-securing
devices.
Comply with the information enclosed
with the load-securing devices.
