WARNING
If you transport objects in the vehicle interior
and these are not adequately secured, they
could slip or be flung around and thereby
strike vehicle occupants. In addition, cup
holders, open stowage spaces and mobile
phone brackets may not always be able to
hold the objects placed in them in the event of
an accident. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sharp braking or sudden
changes of direction.
Always stow objects in such a way that they
R
cannot be tossed about in these or similar
situations.
Always make sure that objects do not pro-
R
trude out of the stowage spaces, luggage
nets or stowage nets.
Ensure that closable stowage spaces are
R
shut before beginning your journey.
Always stow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
R
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or large objects in
the cargo compartment.

Only use the cup holders for containers of
the right size and which have lids. The drinks
could otherwise spill.
