Loading guidelines
G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury,
particularly in the event of sudden braking or
a sudden change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey. G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid/tailgate is open when the engine is
running, especially if the vehicle is in motion.
There is a risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid/tailgate. Never drive with the
trunk lid/tailgate open. The handling characteristics of a laden
vehicle are dependent on the distribution of
the load within the vehicle. For this reason,
you should observe the following notes when
transporting a load:
R
Never exceed the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight or the gross axle
weight rating of the vehicle (including
occupants). The values are specified on the
vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar of
the driver's door.
R The trunk/cargo compartment is the
preferred place to store objects.
R Position heavy loads as far forwards as
possible and as low down in the trunk/
cargo compartment as possible.
R The load must not protrude above the
upper edge of the seat backrests.
R Always place the load against the rear or
front seat backrests. Make sure that the
seat backrests are securely locked into
place.
R Always place the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.
R Use the cargo tie down rings and the parcel
nets to transport loads and luggage.
R Use cargo tie-down rings and fastening
materials appropriate for the weight and
size of the load.
R When transporting objects in the cargo
compartment, the combined cargo cover
and net must always be installed (cargo
compartment cover and cargo net).
R Secure the load with sufficiently strong and
wear-resistant tie-downs. pad sharp edges
