Luggage compartment (VW Touareg 1)

NOTE: All items of luggage must be securely fastened.

To maintain good driving characteristics of the car it is necessary:

• distribute the load as evenly as possible;
• put heavy things as far forward as possible;
• secure all items of luggage in the trunk with suitable straps to the lashing eyes.

WARNING: Unsecured luggage or other items can cause serious damage. Unsecured items in the trunk can shift and impair vehicle stability and control. Unsecured items in the passenger compartment can fly forward during sudden maneuvers or in an accident and cause injury to the driver and passengers. Always secure luggage in the trunk and use suitable tension straps for heavy items.

CAUTION: When transporting heavy items of luggage, always remember that the vehicle's center of gravity may change, which in turn may change the vehicle's handling characteristics.
