When transporting cargo, the following instructions must be adhered to
▶
When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to
the shift in the centre of gravity. The speed and style of driving must be ad-
justed accordingly.
▶
The cargo should be stowed in the luggage compartment. To prevent it from
moving, it should be secured with suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes
or secured with fixing nets.
▶
Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
▶
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are able
to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres - risk of injury!
▶
Tyre pressure should be adjusted for the load.
▶
When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding one of the rear seats forward, care should be taken to en-
sure the safety of passengers transported on the other rear seat.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
in
B
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its
own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg " ".
WARNING
97
Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
■
97
nets, hooks, etc., as heavy objects are not sufficiently secured - there is a
risk of injury!
98
If the cargo is tied down with unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, inju-
98
■
ries can occur in the event of braking manoeuvres or accidents.
98
Loose cargo can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in the
■
99
event of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
99
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants - danger of
■

death!

CAUTION
101
Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,

nets, hooks, etc. - these could be damaged.
102
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not
■
damaged as a result of abrasive objects.
