When using the boot, never exceed the
maximum admissible loads (see the “Tech-
nical specifications” section). Make sure that the
objects are well arranged in the boot so that they
will not be projected forwards following sudden
braking, causing injury to passengers.

the parcel shelf because they can injure
passengers in the event of an accident or sudden
braking.
WARNING
Putting additional objects onto the parcel
shelf or rear door (speakers, spoiler, etc.),
except when approved by the manufactur-
er, can affect the correct operation of the side gas
shock absorbers of the rear door itself.
