Fig.158In the luggage compartment: Tie-downs.
There are tie-downs in the luggage compartment, which you can use to secure luggage or other items
⇒Fig.158 .
WARNING
Unsuitable, worn, or damaged tie-down straps (elastic or non-elastic) can snap or come loose
during braking or other maneuvers or in a collision. Objects secured with these straps can then
come loose and fly through the passenger compartment, causing severe personal injuries or
death.
To help prevent baggage or other items from coming loose and flying around, always use suit‐
able undamaged tie-down straps.
Securely fasten the tie-down straps to the tie-downs.
Loose or improperly secured objects in the luggage compartment can slide about suddenly
and change the vehicle's handling.
Secure even small and light objects. Loose objects in the luggage or passenger compartment
can fly about during sudden braking maneuvers or in the event of an accident and injure
occupants.
Never attach a child restraint to the tie-downs.
WARNING
Elastic straps have to be stretched when being attached to the tie-downs in the luggage compart‐
ment. Hooks on these straps can cause serious personal injury if not handled properly and at‐
tached securely.
Always protect eyes and face from injury from the hooks when attaching them to the tie-downs
in the luggage compartment.
