rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle. ●
Clo s

ing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no

CAUTION
● The comp ar

small objects with a total weight of 1.5 kg.
● Make sure you do not damage the storage
compar
tment or the boot trim when using the
compartment. Storing objects
Lo a

ding the luggage compartment All luggage and other loose objects must be
s
af
ely

secured in the luggage compartment.
Unsecured objects which shift back and forth
could impair the driving safety or driving
characteristics of the vehicle by shifting the
centre of gravity. – Distribute the load evenly in the luggage
compar

tment.
– Place heavy objects as far forward as possi-
ble in the lug

gage compartment.
– Place the heavy objects first.
– Secure heavy objects to the fastening rings
›››
page 141. WARNING
● Loo se lug

gage and other objects in the lug-
gage compartment could cause serious inju-
ries. ●
Alw a

ys stow objects in the luggage com-
partment and secure them on the fastening
rings.
● Use suitable straps to secure heavy ob-
jects.
● D

uring sudden manoeuvres or accidents,
loose ob
jects can be thrown forward, injuring
vehicle occupants or passers-by. This in-
creased risk of injury will be further increased
if a loose object is struck by an inflating air-
bag. If this happens, objects may shoot out-
ward like a missile. Risk of fatal injury.
● Please note that the centre of gravity may
shift when tr
ansporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Therefore, it is essential to adjust
your speed and driving style accordingly, to
avoid accidents.
● Never exceed the allowed axle weights or
allo
wed maximum weight. If said weights are
exceeded, the driving characteristics of the
vehicle may change, leading to accidents, in-
juries and damage to the vehicle.
● Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cia
lly when the rear lid is open. Children
could climb into the luggage compartment,
closing the door behind them; they will be
trapped and run the risk of death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le. Close and lock all the doors and
rear lid when you leave the vehicle. Before
you lock the vehicle, make sure that there are
no adults or children in the vehicle. Note
● Air cir c

ulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slits in the side trim of
the luggage compartment. Ensure that the
ventilation slots are never covered.
● Straps for securing the load to the fasten-
ing ring
s are commercially available. Fastening rings*
There can be four fastening rings in the lug-
g
ag
e c

ompartment for fastening luggage and
other objects.
– Always use suitable and undamaged straps
to secur

e luggage and other objects to the
fastening rings ››› in Loading the lug-
g ag
e c

ompartment on page 141.
– Pull up the fastening rings to attach the
strap

s.
During a collision or an accident, even small
and light objects can build up so much ener-
gy that they can cause very severe injuries.
The amount of kinetic “energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and the weight of
the object. The most significant factor, how-
ever, is the speed of the vehicle.
Example: An object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal col-
lision at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), this »
