WARNING Risk of inju rydue toobjects
being stowed incor rectly
If yo u do not adequately stowobjects in the
ve hicle interior, they could slip or be tossed
around and thereby strike vehicle occupants.
In addition, cup holders, open stowage
spaces and mobile phone brac kets cannot
al wa ys restra in the objects they contain in the

closely when in this area. #
Before any con tact, allow the car parts
to cool down. If

Vehicles with rear-wheel drive: dis‐
tribu tethe load uniformly. When doing
so, ensure that theove rall cen ter of
gr av ity of the load is alw ays as low and

ensure that theove rall cen ter of gr avity
of the load is alw ays as low and close to

WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due toincor rect use of the lashing stra ps
If yo u attach the lashing stra p incor rectly
when secu ring loads, thefo llowing may occur
in theev ent of abrupt changes in direction,
braking maneuver or an acciden t:
R The tie-down eyes may become de tach ed
or the lashing stra p may tear if the per‐
missible load is exceeded.
R The load cann otbe restra ined.
This may cause the load toslip, tip over or be

mum loading capacity of the individual cargo
tie-down point. If you combine various cargo
tie-down points tosecure a load, alw aysta ke
th e maximum loading capacity of thewe ak‐
est cargo tie-down point into account. During
maximum full- stop braking, forc es may act
which can multiply thewe ight of the load.
Alw ays use se veral cargo tie-down points to
distribute and spread the load. Spread the
load evenly between the cargo tie-down
points or tie-down eyes.
