WARNING

Unsuitable or damaged lashing, retaining or securing straps could tear in the event of a braking

manoeuvre or accident. This could cause objects to be flung through the vehicle interior and

lead to severe or fatal injuries.

Always use suitable and undamaged lashing, retaining or securing straps.

Pull lashing, retaining and securing straps taut crosswise over the cargo on the luggage

compartment floor and attach securely to the fastening rings.

Never exceed the maximum load rating of the fastening rings when securing objects.

Make sure that the upper edge of the load is higher than the fastening rings, particularly

when stowing flat objects.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, observe the signs about stowing loads that are

attached in the luggage compartment.

Never secure a child seat to the fastening rings.

The maximum load rating of the fastening rings is approximately 3.5kN.

Suitable lashing, retaining or securing straps and luggage securing systems are available

from qualified workshops. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for

this purpose.
