Tie-down.

Tie-downs are located in the luggage compartment to secure loose objects and luggage with the help of lines, ﬁxation belts or

securing straps ﬁg. 138.

WARNING

Unsuitable or damaged tie-down straps or tensioning straps could break during braking maneuvers or an accident. This

could result in objects being thrown through the vehicle interior and causing serious or fatal injuries.

Use only suitable and undamaged tie-downs, ﬁxing and tensioning straps.

Secure cords, ﬁxation belts and tensioning straps diagonally and tightly across the items placed on the luggage

compartment ﬂoor, and fasten the cords, ﬁxation belts and tensioning straps securely to the tie-downs.

Make sure that the upper edge of the load is above the tie-downs, especially on ﬂat objects.

Follow the signs about storing cargo in the luggage compartment, depending on the vehicle equipment.

Never secure a child restraint to the tie-downs.

WARNING

Elastic tensioning straps must be stretched for securing to the tie-downs and are therefore under tension. If elastic

tensioning straps slip off and spring back toward your body, the hooks attached to them may cause serious injuries.

Protect your eyes and face when securing and releasing the straps.

Always secure elastic tensioning straps to the tie-downs in the front part of the luggage compartment ﬁrst. Then

pull them to the loading edge. Secure the elastic tensioning straps to the tie-downs so that they will spring away

from your body if they come off.

Suitable straps and cargo securing systems are available from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized

Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized

Volkswagen Service Facility.
