WARNING
Elastic straps have to be stretched when being attached to the tie-downs in the luggage
compartment. Hooks on these straps can cause serious personal injury if not handled
properly and attached securely.
x
Always protect eyes and face from injury from the hooks when attaching them to the tie-
downs in the luggage compartment.
x
Always hold the hooks on elastic straps firmly when attaching to the vehicle and do not let
them snap back and hit you.
x
First attach the hooks on the straps to the tie-downs at the rear seat backrest in the lug-
gage compartment and then to the tie-down hooks near the loading edge of the luggage
compartment. This way, if one of the hooks on the elastic straps snaps back, it will move
away from you, decreasing the risk of personal injury.
The maximum load for the tie-downs is about 785 lbs. (356 kg).
For suitable straps and luggage stowage systems, please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer
or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
