Class N1 Vehicles; Boot; Fastening Elements - Skoda Yeti Owner's Manual

WARNING
Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes.
■
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
■
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or
other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are fly-
ing around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, objects that are thrown
back may injure the occupants – risk to life.
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling properties
■
of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – risk of acci-
dent! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
■
suitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from being thrown for-
ward, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached to the
lashing eyes.
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are
■
able to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of injury!
When transporting fastened objects which are sharp and dangerous in the
■
boot that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the
safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats
rect seated position for the passengers in the rear seats.
If the rear seat next to the folded forward seat is occupied, ensure maxi-
■
mum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that the
seat is prevented from folding back in case of a rear collision.
Never drive with the boot lid open or ajar, as otherwise exhaust gases may
■
get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
Under no circumstances should the permissible axle loads and the permissi-
■
ble total vehicle weight be exceeded – risk of accident!
Never transport people in the boot!
■
CAUTION
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not dam-
aged as a result of abrasive objects.
