Securing cargo
Plastic hooks (Sedan)

Cargo tie-down rings
Observe the following notes on securing loads:
- secure the load using the cargo tie down rings.
- do not use elastic straps or nets to secure a load, as these are only intended as an anti-slip protection for light loads.
- do not route tie downs across sharp edges or corners.
- pad sharp edges for protection.
