Only hang lightweight clothing, up to a maximum of 5.5 lbs (approximately 2.5 kg), from the coat hooks in the vehicle. Never leave heavy, hard or sharp
objects in the pockets.

Always keep the glove compartment closed while driving.

Before closing compartments or storage areas, always make sure that there are no cigarette lighters near the sections that will be closing.
Never place lighters in compartments, in storage areas, or on other surfaces in the vehicle. Lighters may ignite as a result of high surface temperatures,
especially in summer.

Incorrect usage of the cup holders can cause injuries.
Do not place hot beverages in the cup holders. Hot beverages in the cup holders could spill and cause burns while driving, during sudden braking
maneuvers, or in collisions.
Take care that only suitably sized drinks are stored in the cup holder. Drinks must always be steady and secure in the cup holder.
WARNING
Closed beverage bottles can explode from heat and burst from frost.
Never leave closed beverage bottles in an extremely hot or extremely cold vehicle.

damage to the vehicle.
