Notes on loading the vehicle

z Heavy objects in the lug gage

com partment should be placed as far

forward as p ossible against the rear seat

backrests or, if the rear seat backrests

are folded down, against the front seat

backrests. If objects are to be stacked,

the heavier objects should be placed at

the bottom. Unsecured objects in the

lugga ge com partment would be thrown

forward with great force in the event of

heavy braking, for example.

z Secure heavy objects with lashing

straps 3 attached to the lashing eyes;

see page 69. If heavy loads slip when the

vehicle is braked heavily or driven

around a bend, the handling of the

vehicle may chang e.

z Sa loon: Loose objects in the luggage

compa rtm ent should be se cured against

slipping using a lug gage net – see

page 69.

z Estate: Always fit the safety net when

transp orting objects in the luggage

compa rtm ent; see page 73.

z If objects are being transp orted in the

luggage compa rtm ent, the rear seat

backrests must be locked in place 3

(red marking on the slide catch on top

of the backrest no longer visible); see

pages 68, 71.

z Do not a llow the load to protrude ab ove

the upp er edge of the rear seat

backrests, or above the upper edge of

the front seat backrests if the rear seat

backrests a re folded down.

z The w arning tria ngle 3 and first-aid kit 3

must a lways be free ly acce ssible .

z Do not place any objects in front of the

rear window or on the instrument panel.

They are reflected in the glass, obstruct

the driver's v iew a nd will be thrown

through the vehicle, for instance in the

event of heavy braking.

z No objects must be placed in the area in

which the airbags inflate, as they could

cause injury when the airbags are

triggered.

z Bulky objects should not be transported

with the tailgate/boot lid open.

Otherwise, poisonous exhaust fumes

could enter the vehic le. In addition, the

numb er plate is only clearly

distinguishable and c orrectly lit if the

tailgate is closed.

z Weights, payload and roof loa d – see

page 222.

z Driving with a roof load – see p ages 140,

143, 168, increases the sensitivity of the

vehicle to cross-winds and has a

detrimenta l effect on vehicle handling

owing to the vehicle’s higher centre of

gravity.

Disregard of these notes c an lead to

injuries which ma y be fatal. Vehicle

pas se ng ers should be in form ed

accordingly.
