Luggage compartment -> Luggage compartment cover for Your Volkswagen Golf 4 Door Sixth Generation (2008-2017)

WARNING  
Improper folding and improper latching of the rear seat backrest can cause serious personal  
injury.  
Always make sure there are no people or animals in the area around the rear seat backrest  
when folding it forward.  
Never fold the rear seat backrest forward or back while the vehicle is moving.  
When folding the rear seat backrest back up, make sure that the safety belt does not get  
caught or damaged.  
Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts out of the way when folding the rear seat  
backrest forward or back.  
Each rear seat backrest must be securely latched in the upright position so that the safety  
belts on the rear seats can provide protection. This is particularly the case for the middle seat  
on the rear seat bench.  
If a seat is used with an unsecured backrest, the passenger will move forward together  
with the rear seat backrest during sudden braking, driving maneuvers, or in a collision.  
If the red marking on the button (2) is visible, this indicates that the backrest is not latched  
into place. Always check to make sure that the red marking is not visible whenever the rear  
seat backrest is in the upright position.  
No one, including children, may ride on the rear seats if the rear seat backrest is folded  
down or not correctly latched.  
NOTICE  
Before folding the rear seat backrest forward, adjust the front seats so that the rear seat's head  
restraint or backrest cushion will not touch the front seats.
