When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the
shift in the centre of gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted
accordingly.
When transporting cargo, the following instructions must be adhered to ▶ Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or fixing nets so that they cannot
slip.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ Tyre pressure should be adjusted for the load.
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.
WARNING■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. If heavy objects have not been suitably secured, there is a
risk of injury!■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – There is a risk of an accident!
■
An unsecured dirt or improperly attached load could slip during a sudden
manoeuvre or in an accident - There is a risk of injury!
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
■
When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding one of the rear seats forward, care should be taken to en-
sure the safety of passengers transported on the other rear seat.
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.
■
Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-
gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-
partments.
■
Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and do not put point-
shaped objects - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.
