Class N1 Vehicles - Skoda Superb 2014 Owner's Manual

›
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the
nets » page 97.
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 light switches on/off when the luggage compartment lid is opened or
closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.

WARNING
Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing 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
accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
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
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving
around, 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 in-
jury!
When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
■
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
gers transported on the other rear seats

WARNING (Continued)
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.
Do not drive with the luggage compartment lid fully opened or slightly
■
ajar otherwise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk
of poisoning!
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
■
the vehicle – risk of accident!
Do not transport people in the boot!
■
CAUTION
Make sure that transported objects with sharp edges do not damage the fol-
lowing:
heating elements in the rear window;
■
elements of the aerial integrated in the rear window;
■
Aerial filaments integrated in the rear side windows (Superb Combi).

Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load

Class N1 vehicles


Read and observe and
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
which complies with the standard EN 12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening
the load.
The proper functioning of the electrical system is essential for the safe opera-
tion of the vehicle. It is important to ensure that it is not damaged during mod-
ifications or when loading or unloading the luggage compartment.
