¤ 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. 104 (ar-
rows).
Some tie-downs may have to be folded open for use.
Elastic straps can snap back toward you if they are not properly at-
tached ⇒ꢀ
.
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 ma-
neuvers 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 com-
partment 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 sud-
den 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.
