130 Interior equipment and trunk
WARNING
• Place heavy items closest to the backrest and stow smaller
and lighter items on top.
• Never overload the cargo net 3. If the elastic breaks this may
cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs
of wear.
• Secure heavy and bulky items using the tie down points
provided in the trunk. This will avert the danger of luggage
flying around if the car should brake suddenly or be involved
in a crash (see page 131).
• Secure small items if the backrest is folded down or the
load-through hatch is open. Small items can also be thrown
around inside the car and cause personal injury.
• Do not exceed the load capacity of the car, as this will alter its
handling characteristics (see page 258).
• Make sure that the seat cushions and backrests are properly
secured when folding them back to their normal position.
Check that the button (item 3 on page 129) is flush with the
surround before entering the back seat.
The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during
driving. Bear this in mind when loading and unloading the car so
that children, for example, do not burn themselves.
