WARNING
• Match the speed and driving style
according to how the car is loaded.
The driving characteristics of the car
can be affected because the centre of
gravity is altered when there is a load
in the luggage compartment.
• An object weighting 55 lbs. (25 kg)
corresponds to a weight of 2000 lbs.
(1000 kg) in a head on collision at
30 mph (50 km/h).
• Adjust the car´s load (passengers and
luggage) so that the gross vehicle
weight or the axle weight are not
exceeded, see page 236.
Cargo net 3
WARNING
• Never overload the cargo net 3. If the
elastic breaks this may cause per-
sonal injury. Do not use a cargo net
that shows signs of wear.
• Never use an elastic net in the luggage
compartment when the rear seat is
folded down. These nets are only
intended to keep light objects tidy, not
for the anchoring of loads.
• Secure the load in the luggage com-
partment firmly. Using a cargo net is
not considered as load securing.
• The only purpose of a cargo net is to
prevent light objects from being
thrown forward into the cabin during
heavy breaking.
