EASY-PACK luggage compartment
cover
Important safety notes
G WARNING
The luggage compartment cover is not a
restraint system. Secure the load under the
luggage compartment cover by suitable
means. Make sure that the luggage compart-
ment cover is engaged securely. If luggage is
not sufficiently secured, it can be thrown over
the backrest into the passenger compart-
ment, for instance during heavy braking, sud-
den changes of direction or in the event of an
accident. You could cause an accident or
cause injury to yourself and others.
!
When loading the vehicle, make sure that
you do not stack the load in the luggage
compartment higher than the lower edge of
the side windows. Do not place heavy
objects on top of the luggage compartment
cover.
The luggage compartment cover and the
safety net are attached to anchorages on the
right and left in the luggage compartment as
a combined luggage cover and net.
When the tailgate is opened, the luggage
compartment cover is automatically raised to
make loading easier. It is automatically low-
ered again when the tailgate is closed.
When the luggage compartment cover is clip-
ped in, there should be no objects obstructing
the downwards movement of the cover in the
luggage compartment when the tailgate is
closed. The luggage compartment cover will
otherwise be raised again.
