Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling

›
Distribute loads as evenly as possible. 
97Seats and practical features

›Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.›Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the
nets » page 99 .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
weighing 4.5 kg produces energy corresponding to 20 times its own weight.
This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the luggage compartment lid is opened or
closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.
Boot light for Superb Combi vehicles » page 103.WARNING■
Always store transported objects in the boot and attach them to the lash-
ing eyes.■
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
■
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – there is
a risk of death.
■
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling proper-
ties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – risk of
accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving
around, always use suitable lashing straps that are firmly attached to the
lashing eyes.
■
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are
able to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of in-
jury!
WARNING (Continued)■ When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
gers transported on the other rear seats » page 11.■
If the rear seat next to the folded forward seat is occupied, ensure maxi-
mum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that
the seat is prevented from folding back in case of a rear collision.
■
Do not drive with the luggage compartment lid open or unlatched, other-
wise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poison-
ing!
■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – risk of accident!
■
Do not transport people in the boot!
CAUTION
■ It is important to ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heat-
er, the threads of the integrated antenna in the rear window as well as the
threads of the integrated antenna (Superb Combi) in the rear side windows,
are not damaged by abrasive items.■
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load » page 198.
Class N1 vehicles
Read and observe
and on page 98 first.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
which complies with the standard EN 12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening
the load.
The proper functioning of the electrical system is essential for the safe opera-
tion of the vehicle. It is important to ensure that it is not damaged during mod-
ifications or when loading or unloading the luggage compartment.
