First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

You will find fastening rings at the front and rear of the luggage compartment which can be used to secure luggage (arrow).

WARNING

Unsuitable or damaged securing straps could rip in the event of a braking manoeuvre or accident. This could cause objects to be flung through the interior and lead to severe or fatal injuries.

Always use suitable and undamaged securing straps.

Attach securing straps securely to the fastening rings.

Loose objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly slide and change the way the vehicle handles.

Small and light objects should also be secured.

Never exceed the maximum load rating of the fastening rings when securing objects.

Never secure a child seat to the fastening rings.

The maximum load rating of the fastening rings is approximately 3.5 kN.

Suitable fastening belts and luggage stowage systems are available from a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
