Introduction WARNING
If a door is not correctly closed, it could open
unexpectedly when driving and cause serious
injuries. ●
Always stop immediately and close the
door.
● When closing, ensure that the door has
closed correctly. A closed door should be
flush with the corresponding parts of the
bodywork.
● Open and close doors only when nobody is
in the way of the door. WARNING
A door held open by its retainer could be
blown closed by the wind or close if the vehi-
cle is on a hill, causing injury.
● When opening and closing doors, always
use the door handle. Note

WARNING
People whose pain and temperature thresh-
old has been affected by some kind of medi-
cine, paraplegia or chronic illness (e.g. diabe-
tes) may sustain burns to the back, buttocks
and legs from using the seat heaters that
may lead to a long healing process or that
may never completely heal. Seek medical ad-
vice if you have doubts regarding your health.
● People with limited pain and temperature
thresholds must never use seat heating. WARNING
Inappropriate use of the seat functions can
cause severe injuries.
● Assume the proper sitting position before
your trip and remain in it throughout. This al-
so applies to the other occupants.
● Keep hands, fingers, feet and other limbs
away from the seat operating and adjustment
radius. CAUTION
● To avoid damaging the heating elements of
the seat heaters, please do not kneel on the
seat or apply sharp pressure to a single point
on the seat cushion or backrest.
● Liquids, sharp objects and insulating mate-
rials on the seat could damage the seat heat-
ing. ●
In the event of smells, switch off the seat
heating immediately and have the unit in-
spected by a specialised workshop. For the sake of the environment
The seat heating should remain on only when
needed. Otherwise, it is an unnecessary fuel
waste. Transport and practical
equipment
Transporting objects Introduction Always transport heavy loads in the luggage
compartment and place the seat backs in a
vertical position. Never overload the vehicle.
Both the carrying capacity as well as the dis-
tribution of the load in the vehicle affect driv-
ing behaviour and braking ability
››› .
WARNING
Unsecured or incorrectly secured objects can
cause serious injury in case of a sudden ma-
noeuvring or breaking or in case of an acci-
dent. This is especially true when objects are
struck by a detonating airbag and fired
through the vehicle interior. To reduce the
risks, please note the following:
● Secure all objects in the vehicle. Always
keep equipment and heavy objects in the lug-
gage compartment.
● Always secure objects with suitable rope or
slings so that they cannot enter the deploy-
ment areas around the frontal or side airbags
in case of sudden braking or an accident.
● Always ensure that objects inside the vehi-
cle cannot move into the deployment area of
the bags while driving. » 65Technical specifications
