cle occupants.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction.

#
they cannot be thrown around.
Before the journey, secure objects, lug-
#

If objects in the vehicle interior are stowed
incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown around
and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup

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.
Always stow and secure heavy, hard,
#
pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky

The exhaust tailpipe and tailpipe trims can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn
yourself.
Always be particularly careful around the
#
tailpipe and the tailpipe trims and super-
vise children especially closely in this
area.
Allow vehicle parts to cool down before
#
touching them.
