luggage net or use draw straps*  
(refer to page 39).

possible – directly behind the back-  
rests or the luggage compartment  
partition – and as low as possible.  
> Cover sharp edges and corners.

top edge of the backrest.  
> For large, heavy pieces, see your  
BMW center for load-securing  
devices*. The lashing eyes provided  
at the corners of the luggage  
compartment serve for mounting  
these load-securing devices.  
> Read and comply with the informa-  
tion enclosed with the load-securing  
devices.
