Never attach a child restraint to the tie-downs.
WARNING
Elastic straps have to be stretched when being at-
tached to the tie-downs in the luggage compart-
ment. Hooks on these straps can cause serious
personal injury if not handled properly and attach-
ed securely.
·
Always protect eyes and face from injury from
the hooks when attaching them to the tie-
downs in the luggage compartment.
·
Always hold the hooks on elastic straps firmly
when attaching to the vehicle and do not let
them snap back and hit you.
·
First attach the hooks on the straps to the tie-
downs at the rear seat backrest in the luggage
compartment and then to the tie-downs 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.
For suitable straps and luggage stowage sys-
tems, please see an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
