Important safety notes

WARNING
On its own, the luggage compartment cover
cannot secure or restrain heavy objects,
items of luggage and heavy loads. You could
be hit by an unsecured load during sudden
changes in direction, braking or in the event of
an accident. There is an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping over, e.g. by
using lashing material, even if you are using
the luggage compartment cover.

When loading the vehicle, make sure that
you do not stack the load in the luggage com-
partment 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 may be instal-
led behind the second or third row of seats.
