WARNING

Loose or improperly secured objects can cause

serious injury in the event of braking, sudden

manoeuvres or an accident. This is especially

true if they are hit by an airbag when it deploys

and are thrown out of the passenger

compartment. To reduce the risk of injury,

please note the following:

● Place all objects securely in the vehicle.

● Also fix small and light objects.

Instruction manual

● Place objects to be transported in the

carrier in such a way that they cannot

reach the areas where the airbags deploy

during the journey.

● When heavy objects are transported, the

vehicle's driving properties change due to

the displacement of the centre of gravity.

● Always distribute the load in the vehicle

● Always keep the slides closed when driving.

evenly and as horizontally as possible.

● Position objects so that they never force

any occupant of the vehicle into an

incorrect position.

● Always place heavy objects in the luggage

compartment in front of the rear axle as far

away from the rear axle as possible.

● When transporting objects that occupy a

space, no one is allowed to travel in that

space.

● Objects carried unsecured in the luggage

compartment could suddenly shift and

change the vehicle's driving behaviour.

● Do not leave hard, sharp or heavy objects

loose in the vehicle's open storage

compartments, on the cover behind the rear

seat backrest or on the instrument panel.

● Always adapt your speed and driving

style to the visibility, weather, road and

traffic conditions.

● Accelerate with particular care and caution.

● Avoid braking and sudden manoeuvres.

● Brake earlier than usual.

● Remove hard, sharp or heavy objects from

clothing and bags carried in the passenger

compartment and store them securely.

NOTICE

WARNING

The electric filaments or, depending on the

equipment, the antenna integrated in the rear

windows could be damaged, even irreparably, if they

are rubbed against objects.

When carrying heavy objects, the driving

properties of the vehicle change and the

braking distance increases. A heavy load that is

not properly positioned or secured could lead

to loss of control of the vehicle and serious

injury.

In order to allow stale air to escape from

the vehicle, do not cover the ventilation

openings.

● Never overload the vehicle. Both the load

and its distribution on the vehicle affect the

driving behaviour and braking performance.
