Class N1 vehicles
Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling
characteristics of your vehicle:
›
Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
›
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or by using the fixing
nets » page 81.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its
own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg " ".
Luggage compartment light
The warning light turns on when tailgate is opened.
The warning light turns off when the tailgate is closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.
WARNING
Always store transported objects in the boot and attach them to the lash-
■
ing eyes.
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
■
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants - danger
■
of death!
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling proper-
■
ties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity - risk of
81
accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
81 If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with
■
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
82
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving
82
around, always use suitable lashing straps that are firmly attached to the
83
lashing eyes.
