■ When installing the luggage cover
Make sure that the luggage cover is securely installed. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury in the event of sudden braking or a collision.
■ When using the luggage cover
Observe the following precautions. If the vehicle is driven with the luggage
cover lifted up, the driver’s rear view will be obscured, possibly causing an
accident that may lead to death or serious injury.
● When closing the luggage cover, make sure that both left and right hooks
are securely engaged to the anchors. If the hooks are not engaged
securely, the hooks may be accidentally disengaged, causing the luggage
cover to lift up.
● When carrying cargo taller than the installation height of the luggage
cover, do not use the luggage cover. Otherwise, the hooks may be acci-
dentally disengaged, causing the luggage cover to lift up.
● Do not drive with the luggage cover lifted up.
■ Caution for the luggage cover
● Do not place anything on the luggage cover to avoid 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
