Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Folding the backrests on the rear bench seat forwards and backwards
→ Luggage compartment cover
→ Load-through hatch
→ Fastening rings
→ Bag hook
→ Luggage net
→ Variable luggage compartment floor
Heavy items must always be stowed securely in the luggage compartment and you
must ensure that the rear seat backrests are securely engaged. Always use suitable
securing straps with the fastening rings. Never exceed the vehicle's maximum payload.
Both the payload and the distribution of the load in the vehicle will have an effect
on the driving response and braking distance .
Additional information and warnings:

WARNING
When the vehicle is not in use or is not being supervised, always lock the doors
and tailgate to reduce the risk of severe or fatal injuries.
- Never leave children unattended, especially when the tailgate is open. Children
could make their way into the luggage compartment, close the tailgate and be
unable to get out. This can cause severe or fatal injuries.
- Never let children play in or around the vehicle.
- Do not travel with people in the luggage compartment.

WARNING
Objects that are not secured, or are secured incorrectly, can cause serious injuries
in the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or accident. This applies
particularly if objects are struck by the airbag when activated and then flung through
the vehicle interior. Please apply the following rules to reduce the risk of accidents:
- Always stow all objects in the vehicle securely. Always stow luggage and
heavy objects in the luggage compartment.
- Always use suitable securing straps to prevent luggage from being thrown
through the vehicle interior and entering the deployment zone of the side airbags
or the front airbag during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the
event of an accident.
- Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
- Do not stow any hard, heavy or sharp objects loose in any of the vehicle's
open stowage areas, on the luggage compartment cover or on the dash panel.
- Remove any hard, heavy or sharp objects from items of clothing and bags
inside the vehicle and stow them securely.

WARNING
Transporting heavy objects changes the vehicle's handling and increases the braking
distance. Heavy loads that are not properly stowed or secured in the vehicle can
lead to a loss of vehicle control and can cause serious injury.
- Transporting heavy objects changes the vehicle's handling and the centre
of gravity.
- The payload should be distributed as evenly as possible in the vehicle.
- Always secure heavy objects in the luggage compartment as far in front of
the rear axle as possible.

NOTICE
Hard objects on the rear parcel shelf can chafe against the wires of the heating
element or aerial in the rear window and cause damage.
