Operation
WARNING
The centre armrest may limit the freedom of
movement of the driver's arm and cause a se-
rious accident.
Keep the centre armrest compartments
closed while the vehicle is in motion.
The centre armrest is not designed for chil-
dren to sit on! Sitting in this incorrect posi-
tion can cause severe injuries.
Transport and practical
equipment
Transporting objects
Introduction
Always transport heavy loads in the luggage
compartment and place the seat backs in a
vertical position. Always use the anchors pro-
vided with suitable rope to secure heavy ob-
jects. Never overload the vehicle. Both the
carrying capacity as well as the distribution
of the load in the vehicle affect driving be-
haviour and braking ability
.
WARNING
Unsecured or incorrectly secured objects can
cause serious injury in case of a sudden ma-
noeuvring or breaking or in case of an acci-
dent. This is especially true when objects are
struck by a detonating airbag and fired
through the vehicle interior. To reduce the
risks, please note the following:
Secure all objects in the vehicle. Always
keep equipment and heavy objects in the lug-
gage compartment.
Always secure objects with suitable rope or
slings so that they cannot enter the areas
around the front or side airbags in case of
sudden braking or an accident.
Always ensure that objects inside the vehi-
cle cannot move into the area of the airbags
while driving.
While driving, always keep object compart-
ments closed.
Remove all objects from the front passen-
ger seat when it is folded down. When the
seat backrest is folded down, it presses on
small and light objects and these are detec-
ted by the weight sensor on the seat; this
sends false information to the airbag control
unit.
While the seat backrest of the front passen-
ger seat is folded, the front airbag must re-
main disabled and the PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF light on.
Objects secured in the vehicle should never
be placed in such a way as to make passen-
gers sit in an incorrect position.
If secured objects occupy a seat, this seat
should not be occupied or used by anyone.
WARNING
The driving behaviour and braking ability
change when transporting heavy and large
objects.
Adjust your speed and driving style to visi-
bility, road, traffic and weather conditions.
Accelerate gently and carefully.
Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
Brake early.
