When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to
▶ When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to
the shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjus-
ted accordingly.
▶ The cargo is stowed in the luggage compartment. To prevent this from mov-
ing it should be secured with suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or
secured with fixing nets.
▶ Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ 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!
▶ Tyre pressure is to match the load.
▶ When transporting loads 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 .
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
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 warning light turns on when tailgate is opened.
The warning light turns off when the tailgate is closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.
WARNING■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. as heavy objects are not e sufficiently secured - there is a
risk of injury!■
If the cargo is tied down with unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, inju-
ries can occur in the event of braking manoeuvres or accidents.
■
Loose cargo can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case
of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.■
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of abrasive objects.
