Luggage compartment -> Shopping bag hooks for Your Volkswagen Passat SUV Seventh Generation (2010-2014)

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 compart-  
ment.  
Always hold the hooks on elastic straps firmly when attach-  
ing 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 in-  
jury.  
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.
