● Hook the loops

to the rear lid.
WARNING
Do not place heavy or hard objects on the
rear shelf, because they will endanger the
vehicle occupants in case of sudden brak-
ing.
CAUTION
●
Before closing the rear lid, ensure that
the rear shelf is correctly fitted.
●
An overloaded luggage compartment
could mean that the rear shelf is not cor-
rectly seated and it may be bent or dam-
aged.
●
If the luggage compartment is overloa-
ded, remove the tray.
Note
●
Ensure that, when placing items of cloth-
ing on the luggage compartment cover,
rear visibility is not reduced.
Fastening rings*
Fig. 164
Location of fastening rings in luggage
compartment.
There may be some fastening rings included
in the luggage compartment for fastening
luggage and other objects

Fig. 164 (ar-
rows).
–
Always use suitable and undamaged straps
to secure luggage and other objects to the
fastening rings

gage compartment on page 155 .
Example : An object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal col-
lision at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), this ob-
ject generates a force corresponding to 20
times its weight. That means that the effective
weight of the object increases to approxi-
mately 90 kg. You can imagine the severity of
the injuries which might be sustained if this
“object” strikes an occupant as it flies through
the interior of the vehicle. This increased risk
of injury will be further increased if a loose
object is struck by an inflating airbag.
WARNING
●
If pieces of baggage or other objects are
secured to the fastening rings with inappro-
priate or damaged retaining cords, injuries
could result in the event of braking ma-
noeuvres or accidents.
●
Never secure a child seat on the fasten-
ing rings.
