WARNING
-
Do not place any
objects
on the
instrument
panel. Objects that are not stored securely
can slide around
in
the vehicle while driving,
when accelerating or braking or when
turn-
ing.
-
Make
sure that objects
cannot
fall out of the
center console storage compartment
or
oth-
er
compartments
and into
the
footwell
while driving.
These
objects
could
prevent
you from
braking
or accelerating during sud-
den braking maneuvers.

the
hooks must not ob-
struct the driver's view.
The garment
hooks
are only designed for light objects
.
Do not
hang any garments with hard, sharp or
heavy objects in the pockets on the garment
hooks
.
These objects could injure vehicle
oc-
cupants
during
sudden brak ing or
in
a colli-
sion - especially if the airbags deploy.
- Always
keep
the glove compartment
closed
while driving to reduce
the risk
of injury dur-
ing a collision or heavy brak ing.

-
The garment
hooks
shou ld only
be used

Do not
leave
any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets
that could interfere with the side airbags
unfolding and cause injuries
in
the event of
a collision
.
- Do not use coat
hangers
to
hang
garments,
because this could reduce the effectiveness
of
the side curtain airbags.
- Do
not
hang any heavy objects on
the
gar-
ment hooks, because they could cause
injury
during
heavy braking.
- Because
of their
load
capacity, the hooks
should only be used to secure objects that
weigh a max imum of
10
lb (5
kg).
Heavy ob-
jects will
not be
secured sufficiently, and
this increases
the
risk of injury.
