ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

There are tie-downs in the front and rear of the luggage compartment, which you can use to secure

luggage or other items ⇒ꢀfig. 84 (arrows).

Elastic straps can snap back toward you if they are not properly attached ⇒ꢀ

If you use elastic straps to secure items in the luggage compartment, be sure to fist securely attach

them to the tie-downs just behind the rear seat backrest first and then to the tie-downs at the loading

edge of the luggage compartment.

Remove the hooks from the tie-downs in the reverse order described above, first from the tie-downs at

the loading edge and then from the tie-downs behind the rear seat backrest so that if the hooks come

loose suddenly, they will move away from you.

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

suitable 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 exceed the maximum allowable load on the tie-downs when securing objects.

Never secure a child seat to the tie-downs.

WARNING

Elastic straps have to be stretched when being attached to the tie-downs in the luggage

compartment. Hooks on these straps can cause serious personal injury if not handled

properly and attached securely.

ꢀ

Always protect eyes and face from injury from the hooks when attaching them to the tie-

downs in the luggage compartment.

Always hold the hooks on elastic straps firmly when attaching to the vehicle and do not let

them snap back and hit you.

First attach the hooks on the straps to the tie-downs at the rear seat backrest in the

ꢀ

luggage compartment and then to the tie-downs near the loading edge of the luggage

compartment. This way, if one of the hooks on the elastic straps snaps back, it will move

away from you, decreasing the risk of personal injury.

The maximum load for the tie-downs is about 785 lbs. (356 kg).

For suitable straps and luggage stowage systems, please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer

or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
