70 Seats and Stowage
– Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible.
– Heavy objects should be transported as near to the rear axle
as possible or better still between the axles.

WARNING
•
Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle may be
affected when transporting heavy objects as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The speed and style of
driving must be adjusted accordingly.
•
The items carried in the luggage compartment should be stored
in such a way that no objects are able to slip forward if there are
any sudden driving or braking manoeuvres undertaken - risk of
injury!
•
Never drive with the boot lid slightly ajar or even fully opened
otherwise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle -
risk of poisoning!
•
On no account exceed the permissible axle loads and the
permissible gross weight of the vehicle - risk of accident!
Caution
Please ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of objects sliding in this area.
