WARNING
Weak, damaged or fau lty straps used
t
o se-
cure objects to the tie-downs can fail during
heavy braking or a collision and lead to seri-
ous injur ies
.
- Always use suitable straps and secure ob
-
jects to the tie-downs in the luggage com-
partment to prevent objects from shifting
and sliding forward.
-
Never secure a child seat restraint to a tie-
down.
-
Because of their load capacity, the hooks
should only be used to secure objects that
weigh a maximum of 10 lbs (5
kg).
Heavy
objects will not be secured sufficiently, and
this increases the risk of inju ry.
