WARNING
When the vehicle is not in use or being
watched, al
ways lock the doors and the
rear lid to reduce the risk of serious injury or
death.
●
Do not leave children unwatched, espe-
cially when the boot is open. Children
could climb into the luggage compartment,
close the rear lid from inside and be unable
to escape themselves. This could lead to
serious injury or death.
●
Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicle.
●
Never transport people in the luggage
compartment.
WARNING
Unsecured or incorrectly secured objects
can cause serious injury in case of a sud-
den manoeuvring or breaking or in case of
an accident. This is especially true when
objects ar
e struck by a detonating airbag
and fired through the vehicle interior. To re-
duce the risks, please note the following:
●
Secure all objects in the vehicle. Always
place equipment and heavy objects in the
boot.
●
Always secure objects to the fastening
rings with suitable rope or straps to prevent
them from being thrown around the interior
and moving to the airbag deployment area
in the event of sudden mo
vements or acci-
dents.
●
While driving, always keep object com-
partments closed.
●
Do not place hard, heavy or sharp ob-
jects inside the vehicle interior, in open
storage compartments, the rear shelf of
the boot or on the dash panel.
●
Remove hard, heavy and sharp objects
from clothes and pockets inside the vehicle
and store securely.
WARNING
The transport of heavy object changes ve-
hicle handling and increases br
aking dis-
tance. Heavy loads that have not been
stored or secured correctly could cause
loss of control and result in serious injury.
●
Vehicle handling changes when trans-
porting heavy objects due to a change in
the centre of gravity.
●
Distribute the load as uniformly and as
low down on the vehicle as possible.
●
Store heavy objects in the luggage com-
partment as far from the rear axle as possi-
ble.
CAUTION
Hard objects on the rear shelf could chafe
against the wires of the heating element in
the heated rear window and cause dam-
age.
Note
The ventilating slits between the heated
r
ear window and the r
ear shelf must not be
covered so that used air can escape from
the vehicle.
