well at all times:

as possible.
– Secure luggage in the luggage compartment with suitable straps
on the fastening rings.

Loose luggage and other loose items in the vehicle can cause serious
injuries.

Loose objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly move and
change the way the vehicle handles.

During sudden manoeuvres or accidents, loose objects in the
passenger compartment can be flung forward, injuring vehicle occupants.

able straps. This is especially important for heavy objects.
