Risk of accident and injury
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 compartment
during, for instance, heavy braking, sudden
changes of direction or in the event of an
accident. You could cause an accident or
cause injury to yourself and others.
