Safe driving
•
Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com
partment.
•
Place heavy items as far forward as possible in
the luggage compartment and secure them
properly
<^>Fig.
214.
•
Secure the load with the stretch net* or with
non-elastic straps secured to the fastening
rings

© CAUTION
A WARNING
- Loose items in the luggage compartment
are a safety hazard: they can move suddenly
and impair the handling of the vehicLe as a
result of the change in weight distribution.
- In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose
objects in the passenger compartment can
be flung forward - risk of injury! Always
stow objects safely in the luggage compart
ment and secure them on the fastening
rings.
Use suitable securing straps, particu
larly when transporting heavy objects.
- Transporting heavy objects may affect the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity - this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your
speed accordingly.
- Never exceed the maximum axle loads or
the maximum gross weight for the vehicLe
^>page
342. Exceeding the permitted axle
loads or gross weight Limit can affect the ve
hicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or
damage to the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicLe unattended when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb in
to the boot and close the boot lid from the
inside.
In this case the child would be un
able to get out of the vehicle without help.
This could have fatal consequences.
- Never allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always close and lock the boot lid
and all the doors when you leave the
vehi
cle.
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. All occupants must be prop
erly restrained by the seat belts at all times
•=>
page
27'5.
Make sure that no hard objects chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the rear
window and damage them.
©
Note
- The tyre pressure must be adjusted accord
ing to the load the vehicle is carrying
<^>page
307.
- Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing loads to the fas
tening rings* are commercially available.
Fastening rings
Unsecured loads are a hazard to all vehicle occu
pants.
There are fastening rings in the luggage com
partment which can be used to secure luggage
and other objects
^>page
62.
•
Use the fastening rings to secure items safely
in the luggage compartment
<=> A.
During a collision or an accident, even small and
light objects can possess so much energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The amount
of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of
the vehicLe and the weight of the object. The
most significant factor, however, is the speed of
the vehicLe.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal
colli
sion at a speed of 50 km/h, this object generates
a force corresponding to 20 times its weight.
That means that the effective weight of the ob
ject increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine
the severity of the injuries which might be sus
tained if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it
flies through the passenger compartment. •

Fuses and bulbs
You must only replace a bulb with a bulb of the
same type. Information regarding e.g. the wat
tage can be found on the glass or base of the
bulb.
The description for changing the bulb refers to
the Left rear light unit; the procedure for the
right rear Light unit is similar.
You can change the
