Safety notes
WARNING
A high gross vehicle weight can make 
the tyres to overheat, causing internal 
damage and a sudden loss of tyre 
inflation pressure. Handling charac-
teristics can be negatively influenced, 
for example reduced directional sta-
bility, longer braking distance and 
modified steering characteristics. 
There is a danger of accidents. 
Please comply with the permitted load 
index of the tyre, and do not exceed 
the permitted gross vehicle weight.

Wrap protective material around 
any sharp corners and edges on 
the load.
Heavy transported loads: stow 
as far forward and as low down as possible, ideally directly 
behind the boot partition.
Small and lightweight trans-
ported loads: can be secured 
with retaining straps, a luggage 
net or other suitable straps.
Large and heavy transported 
loads: secure with lashing straps.
Equipment for securing the trans-
ported load, for example lashing 
straps, tensioning straps or luggage 
nets, must be secured to the lash-
ing eyes in the boot.
Four lashing eyes are located in the 
boot for securing the loads.
There is a bag holder on the left 
and right side in the boot.
WARNING
If the permitted total weight and the 
permitted axle loads are exceeded, 
the operational safety of the vehicle is 
no longer guaranteed. There is a dan-
ger of accidents. Do not exceed the 
permitted total weight and permitted 
axle loads.
WARNING
Loose objects or devices connected 
by a cable to the vehicle, for example 
mobile telephones, may be flung 
around the interior during the journey, 
for example in an accident or during 
braking and evasive manoeuvres. 
There is a danger of injury. Ensure 
that loose objects or devices con-
nected by cable to the vehicle are 
secured in place in the interior.
WARNING
Incorrectly stowed objects may slip or 
be flung into the interior, for example 
in an accident, during braking or eva-
sive manoeuvres. Vehicle occupants 
could be struck and injured. There is 
a danger of injury. Stow and secure 
objects and the load correctly.

cle being towed has failed, the vehi-
cle must be made identifiable to 
other road users, for instance by 
placing a sign or the warning trian-
gle in the rear window.The towing eyes of both vehicles 
should be on the same side.
If it is impossible to avoid attaching 
the tow bar at an angle, note the 
following:
Tow bar clearance may be lim-
ited when cornering.
The tow bar will generate lateral 
forces if it is attached at an 
angle.

when the towing vehicle drives off.
Use nylon ropes or straps, which 
will enable the vehicle to be towed 
without jerking. Pushing the vehicle
