Roof Rails Or Roof Rack Anchors (If Equipped) - Suzuki 2009 Grand Vitara Owner's Manual

WARNING
The luggage restraint loops and
optional rubber net can be used to
help keep lightweight cargo from
moving around in the luggage com-
partment during normal driving. They
are neither capable of nor intended
for preventing cargo from being
thrown around in a crash.
Place heavier objects on the floor
and as far forward in the cargo area
as possible. Never pile cargo higher
than the top of the seat backs.
WARNING
Do not attach the child restraint top
strap to the luggage restraint loops.
Incorrectly attached top strap will
reduce the intended effectiveness of
the child restraint system.
