Important safety notes

G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially
when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
G
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can impede
pedal travel or block a pedal which is
depressed. This jeopardises safe operation of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Stow all objects in the vehicle safely, so that
they cannot reach the driver's footwell. Make
sure the floormats and carpets are properly
secured so that they cannot slip and obstruct
the pedals. Do not lay several floormats or
carpets on top of one another.
