Notes on loading the vehicle
& DANGER Risk of poisoning from exhaust
gases
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases, such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
rear-end door is open when the engine is
running, especially if the vehicle is in motion.
Always switch off the engine before
#
opening the rear-end door.
Never drive with the rear-end door
#
open.
& WARNING Risk of injury from unsecured
items in the vehicle
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured
or not secured sufficiently, they could slip,
tip over or be thrown around and thereby hit
vehicle occupants.
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 thrown around.
Before the journey, secure objects, lug‐
#
gage or loads against slipping or tipping
over.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to objects
being stowed incorrectly
If you inadequately stow objects in the vehi‐
cle 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, luggage
nets or stowage nets.
Close the lockable stowage spaces
#
before starting a journey.
Always stow and secure objects that
#
are heavy, hard, pointed, sharp-edged,
fragile or too large in the boot.
& WARNING Risk of burning from the tail‐
pipe or tailpipe trim
The tailpipe and tailpipe trim can become
very hot. If you come into contact with these
car parts, you could burn yourself.
Always be particularly careful when in
#
the vicinity of the tailpipe and tailpipe
trims and supervise children very
closely when in this area.
Before any contact, allow the car parts
#
to cool down.
