light objects such as jackets.

& WARNING Risk of injury due to objects
being stowed incorrectly
If you do not adequately stow objects in the
vehicle interior, they could slip or be tossed
around and thereby strike vehicle occupants.
In addition, cup holders, open stowage
spaces and mobile phone brackets cannot
always restrain the objects they contain in
the event of an accident.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction.
Always stow objects in such a way that
#
they cannot be tossed about in these or
similar situations.
Always make sure that objects do not
#
project from stowage spaces, parcel
nets or stowage nets.
Close the lockable stowage spaces
#
before starting a journey.
Stow and secure objects that are heavy,
#
hard, pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or
too large in the cargo compartment.
Observe the notes on loading the vehicle.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to an open
cargo compartment floor
If you drive with the cargo compartment floor
open, objects could be flung around and hit
vehicle occupants as a result. There is a risk
of injury, particularly in the event of sudden
braking or a sudden change in direction.
Always close the cargo compartment
#
floor before a journey.
Lift the cargo compartment floor upwards
#
using the handle, remove it from the cargo
compartment and put it down on a clean sur‐
face .
