Operation
● Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
● Brake early.
● If necessary, read the instructions for driv-
ing with a trailer ››› page 179.
● If necessary, read the instructions for driv-
ing with a roof carrier system ››› page 110. WARNING
A sliding load could considerably affect the
stability and safety of the vehicle resulting in
an accident with serious consequences.
● Secure loads correctly so they do not move.
● When transporting heavy objects, use suit-
able ropes or straps.
● Lock the seat backs in vertical position. Loading luggage compartment
Introduction Always transport heavy loads in the luggage
compartment and place the seat backs in a
vertical position. Always use the fastening
rings with suitable rope or straps. Never over-
load the vehicle. Both the carrying capacity
as well as the distribution of the load in the
vehicle have effects on the driving behaviour
and braking ability
››› . WARNING
When the vehicle is not in use or being
watched, always lock the doors and the rear
lid to reduce the risk of serious injury or
death.
● Do not leave children unwatched, especial-
ly when the boot is open. Children could
climb into the luggage compartment, close
the rear lid from inside and be unable to es-
cape themselves. This could lead to serious
injury or death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicle.
● Never transport people in the luggage com-
partment. 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
place equipment and heavy objects in the
boot.
● Always secure objects with suitable ropes
or straps so that they cannot be pushed in-
side the cabin and move around the areas
around the front or side airbags in the event
of sudden braking or an accident. ●
While driving, always keep object compart-
ments closed.
● Do not place hard, heavy or sharp objects
inside the vehicle interior, in open storage
compartments, the rear shelf or on the dash
panel.
● Remove hard, heavy and sharp objects from
clothes and pockets inside the vehicle and
store securely. WARNING
The transport of heavy object changes vehi-
cle handling and increases braking distance.
Heavy loads that have not been stored or se-
cured correctly could cause loss of control
and result in serious injury.
● Vehicle handling changes when transport-
ing heavy objects due to a change in the cen-
tre of gravity.
● Distribute the load as uniformly and as low
down on the vehicle as possible.
● Store heavy objects in the luggage com-
partment as far from the rear axle as possi-
ble. CAUTION
● Hard objects on the rear shelf could chafe
the wires of the heating element and antenna
of the rear window and cause damage.
● The side window antenna could be dam-
aged due to chafing from objects. 100
