CAUTION
Do not put any baggage on the
stretched net in the luggage room while

applied, the baggage may jump out to
the front or fall from the net, and it may
lead to an unexpected accident. When
you put your baggage on the net, wrap
the baggage with a net and fix the bag-
gage.

vent it from sliding or shifting.

Be sure to secure hooks into the
retainers. The cargo restrained in the
net must not exceed 10 kg (22 lb) or
