Introduction to the topic
WARNING
Loose objects may be flung through the vehicle interior in the event of a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre. This can cause serious injury and can also lead to loss of control of the
vehicle.
●
●
Stow objects only in closed stowage compartments.
Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
If the glove box is left open, this can increase the risk of serious injury in the event of an
accident or during sudden braking or driving manoeuvres.
●
Always keep the stowage compartment closed while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Cigarette lighters in the vehicle could be damaged or accidentally lit. This could lead to serious
burns and other injuries.
●
●
●
Before adjusting the seats, always make sure that there is no cigarette lighter on or near the
movable parts of the seat.
Before closing stowage areas or compartments always make sure that there is no lighter in
the way.
Never stow lighters in stowage areas or compartments or on other surfaces in the vehicle.
High surface temperatures, especially in summer, may cause cigarette lighters to self-ignite.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the drink holders can cause injury.
●
Never place hot drinks in a drink holder. Hot drinks in a drink holder could be spilled and
cause scalding in any sudden braking manoeuvre or accident.
WARNING
Closed drink bottles can explode in the vehicle in extreme heat or burst in extremely cold
temperatures.
●
Never leave closed drink bottles in an extremely hot or extremely cold vehicle for extended
periods.
NOTICE
●
●
Do not stow any temperature-sensitive objects, food or medicines inside the vehicle. Hot
and cold temperatures could damage them or render them unusable.
Objects stored in the vehicle that are made from transparent materials, such as transparent
suction cups on the windows, can concentrate the sun's rays and thus cause damage to the
vehicle.
