Luggage straps

Use the retaining straps on the cargo
floor cover to secure smaller items of
luggage.

Movement is reduced when objects are
placed on the straps.

The lashing eyes located at the corners
of the cargo area provide you with a
convenient means of attaching luggage
nets

or flexible straps for securing lug-

gage.
