WARNING
●Do not place anything on the luggage cover. In the event of sudden brak-
ing or turning, the item may go flying and strike an occupant. This could
lead to an unexpected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Do not allow children to climb on the luggage cover. Climbing on the lug-
gage cover could result in damage to the luggage cover, possibly causing
death or serious injury to the child.
● Make sure that the rear edge of the cover is laying flat. If the cover is
installed with the rear edge raised, the view from the rear window may be
obstructed, which could cause an accident.

belt is caught up in the cover, it may not be able to restrain passengers
properly.

removing the luggage cover from the bag and expanding it, be sure to hold
the luggage cover with both hands. Also, confirm that there are no people
nearby before expanding the luggage cover.
