If nothing is hung on the hooks, they will fold
back in by themselves.
In a collision, the laws of physics mean that
even smaller items that are loose in the vehi­
cle will turn into heavy missiles that can cause
serious injury. Items in the vehicle p ick up ki­
netic energy which varies with the vehicle and
the weight of the item . Vehicle speed is the
most significant factor .
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed
of 30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10-lb (5 kg) object a re about
20 times the
normal weight of the item. This means that
the weight of the item would suddenly be the
equ ivalent of about 200 lbs (90 kg). One can
easily imagine the injuries that an item of that
weight flying freely through the passenger
compartment can cause in a collision at a
speed considered relatively low .
8_ WARNING
Weak, damaged or improper straps used
to secure items to tie-downs can fail dur­ ing hard braking or in a collision and cause
serious personal injury.
- Always use suitable retaining straps and
properly secure items to the tie-downs in
the luggage compartment to help pre­
vent items from shifting or flying for­
ward .
- Never attach a child seat tether strap to
a tie -down.
- For strength-related reasons, the mount­
ing hooks can only be used to secure ob­
jects weighing up to 10 lb. (5 kg) . Heavi ­
er objects will not be adequately secured
- there is a r isk of injury.
Tie-downs
Applies to vehicles: with tie-downs
Four tie-downs for securing luggage pieces
and two for hanging bags , sacks, etc. are
lo­
cated in the luggage compartment.

juries.
(D} Tips
- Never stow the ski sack away when it is
still wet or damp (for example, snow
melting from skis). Allow it to dry com­
pletely before stowing it away.
- When transporting skis or snowboards,
tighten the securing strap between the
bindings. -
Position skis in the ski sack with the
pointed ends facing the front and ski
poles with the pointed ends facing the
