110 Seats and stowing
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or abrupt changes in
direction.
Always store objects such that they can-
#
not be thrown around in such situations.
Always make sure that objects do not
#
protrude from storage spaces, parcel
nets or storage nets.
Close the lockable storage spaces before
#
starting a journey.
Stow and secure objects that are heavy,
#
hard, pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or too
large in the cargo compartment.
& WARNING Risk of accident from objects in
the driver's footwell and front-passenger
footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell and front-
passenger footwell may impede pedal travel or
block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardizes the operating and road safety
of the vehicle.
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
#
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell or front-passenger footwell.
Always install the floor mats securely
#
and as prescribed in order to ensure that
there is always sufficient clearance for
the pedals.
Do not use loose floor mats and do not
#
lay multiple floor mats on top of one
another.

passenger seat may interfere with the function of
the automatic front-passenger air bag shutoff or
damage the system. Please observe the notes on
