z
Heavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed as far
forward as possible. If objects are to be
stacked, the heavier objects should be
placed at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded position, or
with safety net 3 installed behind rear
seats, objects must not be stacked
higher than the seat backrests.
Unsecured objects in the luggage
compartment would be thrown forward
with great force in the event of heavy
braking, for example.
z Secure heavy objects with lashing
straps 3 attached to the lashing eyes. If
heavy loads slip when the vehicle is
braked heavily or driven around a bend,
the handling of the vehicle may change.
z Secure loose items in luggage
compartment using FlexOrganizer 3 or
luggage floor net 3 to prevent sliding.
z When transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, fit safety net 3 -
see page 60.
9 Warning
Do not allow objects to protrude above
the top of the under floor storage, to
avoid damage to the storage area and
the luggage compartment floor.

prevent the objects from being reflected
in the rear window.
z If the backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, they must be
engaged in their upright position -
see page 41.
z Do not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the rear seat
backrests, or if the rear seat backrests
have been folded down onto the seat
cushions, above the upper edge of the
front seat backrests.
z The warning triangle 3 and first aid kit 3
should always be freely accessible.
z No objects should be placed on the
luggage compartment cover or the
instrument panel. They are reflected in
the glass, obstruct the driver’s view and
will be thrown through the vehicle in the
event of heavy braking, for example.
z No objects should be stored in any of the
airbag inflation zones, as injuries may be
caused when the airbag is triggered. z
The load must not obstruct the operation
of the pedals, hand brake and gearshift
lever or hinder the freedom of movement
of the driver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.
z Bulky objects should not be transported
with the tailgate open or ajar, otherwise
poisonous exhaust fumes may enter the
vehicle.
z Weights, payload and roof load -
