Transport of cargo

Luggage compartment

Introduction
When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to
the shift in centre-of-gravity. Therefore, adjust the speed and driving mode ac-
cordingly.
When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to
Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-
not slip.
Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment as possible.
Tyre pressure is to match the load.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the boot lid is opened or closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish au-
tomatically after around 10 minutes.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!
An unfixed or improperly fixed load can slip during a sudden manoeuvre or
an accident - danger of injury!
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
gers transported on the other rear seats .
