Net pockets on the front seat rest
Fig. 72
Meshed pocket
Read and observe on page 58 first.
The net pockets are used for storage of small and light objects, such as mobile
phones and the like.
The net pockets are located on the inner sides of the front seat backrests
» Fig. 72.
The maximum permissible load of the net pockets is 150 g.
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum permissible load of the meshed pockets.
Heavy objects are not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!
CAUTION
Do not put large objects, e.g. bottles or objects with sharp edges into the net
pockets - risk of damaging the pockets and seat coverings.

Variable loading floor 67
Class N1 vehicles 67
When transporting cargo the following instructions must be adhered to
▶
When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to
the shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjus-
ted accordingly.
▶
The cargo should be stowed in the luggage compartment. To prevent it from
moving it should be secured with suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes
or secured with fixing nets.
▶
Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
▶
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are able
to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of injury!
▶
Tyre pressure should be adjusted for the load.
▶
When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding one of the rear seats forward, care should be taken to en-
sure the safety of passengers transported on the other rear seat.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its
own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
