Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling char-

84Using the system

›Distribute loads as evenly as possible.›Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the nets
» page 86.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic en-
ergy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the ve-
hicle 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 with a
weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds 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 auto-
matically after around 10 minutes.
Boot light for Superb Combi vehicles » page 90.
WARNING■
Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing 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 – danger of
death!
■
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling properties
of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – risk of acci-
dent! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
suitable 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 which must be firmly attached to the lash-
ing 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 injury!
■
When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats » page 171.
WARNING (Continued)■
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 fully opened or slightly ajar
otherwise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poi-
soning!
■
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
Make sure that transported objects with sharp edges do not damage the follow-
ing:■
heating elements in the rear window;
■
elements of the aerial integrated in the rear window;
■
Aerial filaments integrated in the rear side windows (Superb Combi).
Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load » page 221.
Class N1 vehicles
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 84.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
