Notes on loading the vehicle
& DANGER Risk of exhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
boot lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion.
Always switch off the engine before
#
opening the boot lid.
Never drive with the boot lid open.
#
Objects in the deployment area of an airbag may
prevent the airbag from functioning correctly.
Observe the notes on protection provided by the
airbag ( page 49).

Vehicles with rear airbag: also observe the
notes on the rear airbag ( page 55).

& 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 objects in the vehicle interior are stowed
incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown
around and hit vehicle occupants. In addi‐
tion, cup holders, open stowage spaces and
mobile phone brackets cannot always retain
all objects they contain.
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 in such
situations.
Always make sure that objects do not
#
protrude from stowage spaces, luggage
nets or stowage nets.
Close the lockable stowage spaces
#
before starting a journey.
