occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-

flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.

ered completely. Otherwise, you could

If you close the trunk lid before the roof is
lowered completely, the loading aid switch
lights up and a warning tone sounds.
