Incorrect use can damage the luggage compartment floor or the trim of the luggage compartment.
● Do not allow the luggage compartment floor to fall when closing it, but always guide it downwards carefully.
● Always distribute loads (maximum 50 kg (110 lbs) in the upper position of the variable luggage compartment floor) over as wide an
area as possible in order to avoid point loads.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, there may be compartments for stowing small items under the variable luggage
compartment floor.
The variable luggage compartment floor cannot be lowered in vehicles that are equipped with a subwoofer in the luggage
compartment.

Fastening ring.
There are fastening rings in the luggage compartment which can be used to secure loose items and luggage with the help of lashing,
retaining or securing straps → Fig. 1 , .
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 load on the luggage compartment floor and attach the lashing,
retaining and securing straps securely to the fastening rings.
● Make sure that the upper edge of the load is higher than the fastening rings, particularly when stowing flat objects.
● Observe the signs on stowing loads that may be affixed in the luggage compartment depending on the vehicle equipment.
● Never secure a child seat using the fastening rings.
WARNING
Elastic tensioning straps must be stretched in order to secure them at the fastening rings and are therefore under tension. If elastic
tensioning straps slip off and snap towards the body, the hooks attached to them can cause serious injuries.
● Protect your eyes and face when installing and removing the luggage net.
● Always first secure the elastic tensioning straps to the fastening rings in the front area of the luggage compartment. Then pull the
elastic tensioning straps towards the load sill. Secure the elastic tensioning straps to the fastening rings so that they snap away
from the body if they slip.
Suitable lashing, retaining or securing straps and load securing systems are available from a suitably qualified workshop.
