● Brake earlier than usual.
WARNING
Lashing, retaining or securing straps that are incorrectly fastened, unsuitable or damaged may become detached in
the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or accident. This could cause objects to be flung through the interior and
lead to severe or fatal injuries.
● Always use suitable and undamaged lashing, retaining or securing straps.
● Attach lashing, retaining or securing straps securely to the fastening rings.
● Load the fastening rings evenly.
● Never fix lashing, retaining or securing straps between the fastening rings in the side panel and the fastening
rings in the vehicle floor.
● Never fix lashing, retaining or securing straps between opposite side walls.
● Never load the lashing, retaining or securing straps beyond their load rating.
● If necessary, observe the information sign on the side trim.
● Never use elastic straps or nets to tie down loads.
● Ensure that the load retains its form and position once it has been secured. Use sturdy packaging and anti-slip
mats.
WARNING
When the vehicle is not in use or is not being supervised, always lock the doors to reduce the risk of severe or fatal
injuries.
● Never leave children unattended, particularly when the boot lid is open. Children could make their way into the
load compartment, close the boot lid and be unable to get out. This can cause severe or fatal injuries.
● Never let children play in or around the vehicle.
● Never transport people in the load compartment.
