190 Seats and stowing
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 addition, 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 braking manoeuvres or abrupt
changes in direction.
Always stow objects so 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.
Stow and secure objects that are heavy,
#
hard, pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or too
large in the load 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 jeopardises 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 fit the floor mats securely and as
#
prescribed in order to ensure that there
ohne
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.
Vehicles with automatic front passenger airbag
shutoff: objects trapped under the front
passenger seat may interfere with the function of
the automatic front passenger airbag shutoff or
damage the system. Please observe the notes on
the function of the automatic front passenger air-
bag shutoff ( page 107).
