Practical equipment
Introduction
Storage compartments must only be used to
store light or small objects.
WARNING
In the event of sudden braking movements or
turns, loose objects may be thrown around
the vehicle interior. This could cause serious
injuries to passengers and cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle.
●
Do not transport animals or place hard,
heavy or sharp objects inside the vehicle in:
open storage compartments, dash panel, rear
shelf, items of clothing or bags.
●
While driving, always keep object compart-
ments closed.
WARNING
Objects falling into the driver's footwell could
prevent use of the pedals. This could lead the
driver to lose control of the vehicle, increas-
ing the risk of a serious accident.
●
Make sure the pedals can be used at all
times, with no objects rolling underneath
them.
●
The floor mat should always be secured to
the floor.
●
Never place other mats or rugs on top of
the original mat supplied by the factory.
●
Make sure that no objects can fall into the
driver's footwell while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
CAUTION
●
Objects on the shelf could chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the heat-
ed rear window and cause damage.
●
Do not keep temperature-sensitive objects,
food or medicines inside the vehicle. Heat
and cold could damage them or render them
useless.
●
Light-transparent objects placed inside the
vehicle, such as lenses, magnifying glasses
or transparent suction caps on the windows,
may concentrate the sun's rays and cause
damage to the vehicle.
Note
The ventilating slits between the heated rear
window and the rear shelf must not be cov-
ered so that used air can escape from the ve-
hicle.
