GWARNING
When objects are unsecured or inadequately
secured, they can slip, turn over or be thrown
about, strikin gvehicle occupants .This also
applies to:
Rluggage or loads
Rseats which have been removed and are
being transported in the vehicle in an
exceptional case.
There is arisk of injury, particularly in the
eventofab rakingmaneuver or abrupt change
in direction.
Always stow objects in such away that they
cannot be tossed about. Beforet raveling,
secure objects, luggage or loads to prevent
them slipping or tippin gover. If you removea
seat, stor eitpreferably outside the vehicle.
GWARNING
As aresult of improperly placed or unevenly
distributed loads, the center of gravityoft he
load being transported may be too high or too
far back. This can significantly impair handling
as well as steering and brakin gcharacteris-
tics. There is arisk of an accident.
Always make sure that the center of gravityo f
the load is:
Rbetween the axles
and
Ras low as possible, near the rear axle.
GWARNING
When the permissible wheel loads, axle loads
and/o rthe maximum permissible gross vehi-
cle weight are exceeded, drivings afetyis
compromised. The handlin gaswell as steer-
ing and brakin gcharacteristic smay be signif-
icantly impaired. Overloaded tires may over-
heat, causing them to burst. There is arisk of
an accident.
When transporting aload, always observet he
permissible wheel loads, axle loads and the
maximum permissible gross vehicle weight
for the vehicle (includin goccupants).
!If you are using aroof carrier,o bservethe
maximum roof load and maximum roof carrier
load.
RDo not stac kluggage or loads higher than the
backrests.
RObjects to be transported should preferably
be stowed in the cargo compartment.
RWhen transporting luggage, always use the
cargo tie-down rings for securingl oads and a
cargo net ,ifinstalled.
RUse cargo tie-down rings and fasteners which
are suitable for the weight and size of the
load.
When using suitable load securin gaids and tie
downs, always follow the manufacturer's oper-
ating instructions, in particular the notes on dis-
card criteria contained therein.
Load securin gaids or tie downs must not be
used if:
Ridentification marksa re missingorillegible
Rthereare yarn breakages ,damage to bearing
seams or other signs of tearing
Rther eare signs of shearing, deformation,
pinching or other damage
Rther eisd amage to clampingorc onnecting
elements
Load securinga ids and tie downs in this condi-
tion are ready for discard and must be replaced.
If you use load securinga ids or tie downs which
are worn out, the load may not be sufficiently
secured and could cause damage to property.
